Universitas Indonesia (UI) received a comparative study visit from the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Yogyakarta in the context of benchmarking the Higher Education Revitalization program on Wednesday (20/12) in Meeting Room A, 2nd Floor, University Administration Center Building, UI Depok Campus. The series of activities included visits to the UI Faculty of Engineering (FT) Architecture Laboratory and the UI Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB).
In his speech, UI Rector, Prof. Ari Kuncoro, S.E., M.A., Ph.D., said that ISI Yogyakarta has an important role and great potential for Indonesia. “There is a nation that can combine art, technology and a superior economy in the world, namely Korea. This is important for the role of ISI Yogyakarta to explore and reconstruct art that can synergize with economy and technology through cultural strategies in Indonesia,” said Prof. Ari.
Rector of ISI Yogyakarta, Dr. Irwandi, M.Sn., said that ISI Yogyakarta could look to UI in its governance system and campus orientation. “It was very impressive for us to visit UI to learn many things about campus governance and orientation at UI. Especially for ISI Yogyakarta, this was done in our efforts to raise the level as a Public Service Agency (BLU) University,” said Dr. Irwandi.
In this meeting, the Director of Business Unit Management and Development, T.M. Zakir Sjakur Machmud, M.Ec., Ph.D., gave a glimpse of the business units at UI. The UI business unit is dual track and unique, namely Special Work Business (UKK) which consists of Community Service and Service UKK (UKK-PPM) and Commercial Business UKK (UKK-UK). Both UKKs can stand alone (independent) and allow both to synergize with each other.
