Surabaya, October 24, 2024 – The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) of Universitas Riau (UNRI) continued its series of academic visits to the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) at Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) to explore potential collaborations in teaching and research. The UNRI delegation, led by Dr. Syamsudhuha, M.Sc., was welcomed by the Vice Dean III of FST UNAIR, Prof. Dr. Fatmawati, M.Si., along with faculty members from the Statistics Study Program at UNAIR.
During the meeting, both institutions agreed to implement an online team teaching program between UNRI and UNAIR lecturers. This scheme allows faculty members from both universities to collaborate in delivering course materials and sharing expertise to enhance the quality of education.
In addition, research collaboration was also a key focus. Both parties will develop joint research projects aimed at producing scientific publications in accredited national journals and reputable international journals. To formalize this partnership, a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) will be signed during the MIPA Net forum in November 2024.
The Dean of FMIPA UNRI, Dr. Syamsudhuha, expressed his hope that this collaboration would enhance academic competence and broaden the perspectives of both students and lecturers in addressing challenges in statistics and data science.
