Academic Benefits and International Networks
Participation in the New Southbound Policy Elite Study Program 2025 brought tangible benefits for both students and institutions. Defia Putri Mahardika, representing FPK UNAIR, gained first-hand exposure to international academic settings through lectures, workshops, and discussions with experts from five Taiwanese universities and seven partner countries.
For Universitas Airlangga, this participation demonstrates its proactive role in global higher education networks. By joining such initiatives, UNAIR strengthens its reputation as a university committed to international collaboration and academic innovation.
Cultural Diplomacy and Regional Cooperation
The program goes beyond academics. It promotes cultural diplomacy, encouraging students to appreciate differences, respect diversity, and build inclusive communication. These values align with UNAIR’s vision to nurture students into resilient global citizens capable of addressing global challenges.
The networks established during the program are expected to evolve into future collaborations, such as joint research, co-authored publications, and community development projects. Thus, the impact extends beyond individual growth to regional academic advancement.
Looking Ahead
FPK UNAIR remains optimistic that continuous involvement in international programs will further enhance its global standing. Students not only carry UNAIR’s name abroad but also bring back knowledge, experiences, and connections to enrich fisheries and marine science development in Indonesia.
