Diponegoro University (Undip) continues to make collaborative internationalization efforts as part of Undip’s commitment to becoming a world-class university. One form of this effort is demonstrated in Undip’s involvement in international events, one of which is the QS Higher Ed Summit: Asia Pacific 2023 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, Malaysia, November 7-9, 2023.
At the QS Higher Ed Summit: Asia Pacific 2023 event, one of Undip’s missions was to establish international collaboration with overseas partner universities who were also present at the event. More than 1000 delegates and 88 universities across Asia Pacific gathered to explore how regional, national and global collaboration can strengthen the role of universities as key drivers of change in society. Universities in the Asia Pacific are coming together and continuing to focus on ensuring that their graduates are equipped with the relevant skills and knowledge to succeed in the workplace despite many disruptions in the world of work, such as the rise of automation and the gig economy.
