Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) welcomed representatives from Boeing for a meeting to explore potential collaboration in education, research, and talent development on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at UGM Central Office.
The meeting brought together Dr. Danang Sri Hadmoko, S.Si., M.Sc., UGM Vice Rector for Research, Business Development, and Partnerships, and Boeing representatives Veronika Andrews, MBA, Project Manager at Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), and Bramantya Djermani, BSIE., MBA., CAAS, Production Engineer Lead and Senior Industrial Engineer for BCA Advisor.
The discussion focused on identifying potential areas of collaboration by aligning Boeing’s industry expertise with UGM’s academic and research strengths.
Dr. Danang highlighted UGM’s multidisciplinary expertise and diverse talent pool as potential areas for collaboration with Boeing, particularly in fields relevant to the aerospace and aviation industry.
“If Boeing is looking for talent, UGM has a strong pool of talent across various fields that can support Boeing’s development needs,” he stated.
Bramantya Djermani also expressed interest in exploring collaboration, particularly in science and engineering. “We are interested in exploring opportunities for collaboration in the fields of science and engineering, where UGM has strong academic and research capabilities,” he said.
During the meeting, Boeing presented its Indonesia University Roadshow, an initiative aimed at identifying potential areas of collaboration with Indonesian universities. The presentation outlined several programs to engage with universities and support talent development, including Lectures Series, Mentorship, and Internship Programs.
Among the programs discussed was the Lectures Series, an eight-week program covering various topics related to engineering and the aerospace industry. The program would provide university students with opportunities to learn from Boeing professionals in areas such as standardized production systems, aircraft product development, airplane structure analysis, experimental flight testing, and professional development.
Boeing also introduced its mentorship program, which aims to help fresh graduates and early-career professionals prepare for the engineering work environment. Internship opportunities were also presented as part of Boeing’s talent development initiatives.
Veronika Andrews encouraged UGM students to explore opportunities to gain industry experience and build their careers in the aerospace industry.
“I would like students to learn more about Boeing’s internship opportunities and explore the possibilities of building their careers with Boeing,” she said.
Moving forward, UGM and Boeing will continue discussions to explore further collaboration, particularly the proposed eight-week lecture series in 2027. The initiative is expected to broaden UGM students’ understanding of the aerospace industry and its professional opportunities.
