Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) and the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (Inalco), France, discussed potential academic collaboration during a courtesy meeting at UGM Central Office on Thursday, October 29, 2026. The discussion centred on student exchange, summer programmes, co-supervision, and the potential development of a double-degree programme.

The Inalco delegation was led by Prof. Gilles Forlot, Vice-President for European and International Affairs. During the meeting, he expressed his appreciation for UGM’s hospitality and welcomed the opportunity to discuss potential areas of cooperation between the two universities.

“Thank you so much for hosting us. We are eager to discuss possibilities that we can develop together,” he said.

UGM Vice Rector for Education and Learning, Prof. Dr. Wening Udasmoro, S.S., M.Hum., DEA., warmly welcomed the visit and highlighted the potential for collaboration in language studies and international learning.

“I believe there are many opportunities for UGM and Inalco to collaborate, particularly in language studies, as UGM offers a range of language programmes, including French. Through this collaboration, we hope to provide our students with greater international exposure and opportunities to broaden their academic experiences,” she stated.

The proposed collaboration would open opportunities for student exchange, summer programmes, and co-supervision between UGM and Inalco. Through student exchange and summer programmes, UGM students could gain international exposure, experience different academic environments, and broaden their perspectives through cross-cultural learning. Co-supervision arrangements could also strengthen academic collaboration between the two universities by allowing students and academics to learn from each other’s expertise and areas of specialisation.

The possibility of developing a double-degree programme was also considered, with a 3+1 pathway in undergraduate level emerging as a potential option. Further discussions would be needed to determine the participating study programmes, align curricula, and establish an appropriate programme structure before the proposal could move forward.

Through continued discussions and the development of potential joint programmes, UGM and Inalco aim to create more opportunities for international academic engagement, broaden students’ learning experiences, and encourage the exchange of knowledge and expertise between the two universities. These efforts are expected to lay the groundwork for future collaboration in education and strengthen academic ties between Indonesia and France.

Yogyakarta, October 29, 2026 – Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) welcomed a delegation from Curtin University, Western Australia, on Thursday, October 29, to explore the establishment of an institutional partnership. Discussions centered on potential cooperation in education and research, with a particular focus on equitable access to international academic experiences, student mobility, and short-term programs.

Curtin University is a globally recognized institution committed to transforming lives and communities through education and research. Sustainability is a key priority across its teaching, research, campus development, and community engagement initiatives. UGM and Curtin University already have an Agreement on Student Exchange and Study Abroad covering the 2024–2029 period, providing a foundation for further engagement. The two institutions have also collaborated on research, producing joint publications in areas of shared academic interest.

During the meeting, Priya Saracik, Global Partnerships Consultant at Curtin University, identified student mobility as a practical starting point for expanding ties between the two universities. She expressed interest in developing discipline-specific programs that would allow Curtin students to experience Indonesia through academic activities and community engagement, including micro-volunteering. “We are interested in establishing programs that bring our students to Indonesia, starting with student mobility. We can develop programs tailored to specific disciplines, incorporating experiences such as micro-volunteering and other activities. Starting with smaller initiatives will help us sustain and strengthen the partnership over time,” she said.

Dr. Hendra Gunosewoyo, Senior Lecturer in Medicinal Chemistry at Curtin University’s School of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences, highlighted the importance of connecting academic exchanges with research networks. He emphasized the value of bringing researchers and academic supervisors together to identify common interests and develop joint initiatives. “As a researcher and supervisor, I see significant value in building these connections. By expanding our network of institutional partnerships, we can identify shared research interests and develop collaborative programs that benefit both universities,” he said.

Prof. Puji Astuti, S.Si., M.Sc., Apt., Director of UGM’s Directorate of Partnership and Global Relations, explained that UGM is actively encouraging the development of international partnerships that support equitable access to global academic opportunities. She noted that the university is seeking to connect prospective international partners with relevant faculties and research groups, while exploring funding mechanisms to support collaboration. 

“We want to grow together, not simply transfer students from one university to another. Our staff will work to identify and match international partners with relevant faculties and research groups. For equitable partnerships, we can use our own funding to get initiatives started, as the requirements for high-level research can be demanding. For example, at the Faculty of Pharmacy, there is considerable potential for short-term programs and summer courses. The key is to help students develop into capable scientists, and we can facilitate opportunities for them to work on their theses in collaboration with partner universities,” she said.

Prof. Puji also pointed to UGM’s experience in hosting international programs, including the UAUE Short Summer Program and Monash University’s Global Immersion Guarantee (GIG). These initiatives combine academic activities with cultural immersion and community-based learning, demonstrating how short-term mobility can create meaningful connections between participants and their host communities. Such models could provide a basis for future programs with Curtin University, potentially bringing together students and researchers from different disciplines to address shared academic and societal challenges.

The discussion also highlighted the role of funding in expanding international research engagement. UGM is among seven universities to receive support through a government research funding initiative administered by the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP). This development is expected to expand UGM’s capacity to broaden its international engagement.

As part of the visit, the Curtin University delegation toured UGM’s Faculty of Pharmacy and Faculty of Biology to explore potential areas of cooperation in medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and biology. These visits provided an opportunity to connect academic expertise and identify possible avenues for joint research, student exchanges, and short-term academic programs. By building on existing exchange arrangements and identifying shared priorities, UGM and Curtin University aim to develop a sustained partnership that advances research, broadens access to international learning, and creates lasting benefits for students and academic communities at both institutions.

Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) and Flinders University, Australia, discussed prospects for research and innovation collaboration during a meeting at UGM Central Office on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss potential areas of cooperation between the two universities, particularly in PhD research, industry partnerships, and innovation.

The Flinders University delegation included Prof. Tim Cavagnaro, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research), and Prof. Eugene Sebastian, Executive Director of International Research Strategy. During the meeting, Prof. Eugene expressed Flinders University’s interest in expanding its engagement with UGM through research and academic programmes.

“Given the strong relationship between Indonesia and Australia, we see opportunities to strengthen collaboration between Flinders University and UGM through joint PhD research, student exchange programmes, and broader research innovation partnerships,” he stated.

UGM welcomed the opportunity to strengthen its ties with Flinders University. Dr. Danang Sri Hadmoko, S.Si., M.Sc., UGM Vice Rector for Research, Business Development, and Partnerships, highlighted the shared vision between the two institutions in advancing research and product development.

“With our shared vision for innovation and product development, we warmly welcome the opportunity to collaborate with Flinders University. Through this partnership, we hope to turn research into innovative products that create added value and benefit society,” he noted.

One of the key topics discussed was the possibility of piloting industry-linked PhD programmes that combine joint supervision with a focus on product development. As proposed by Prof. Eugene Sebastian, the initiative would connect doctoral research with industry needs and support the development of practical solutions and products. 

UGM’s existing research and innovation initiatives, including the Program Promoting Research and Innovation through Modern and Efficient Science and Technology Parks Project (PRIME STeP), may serve as a foundation for joint initiatives. These initiatives could help both universities identify shared research interests and connect academic research with practical applications.

Moving forward, UGM and Flinders University will continue exploring opportunities for academic and industry collaboration. Through their shared expertise and industry connections, both universities aim to develop joint initiatives that foster innovation and create meaningful outcomes.
