In his remarks, the Rector said that UNHAS has worked hard to expand collaboration to many foreign countries, including Europe, in the past few years.
"This is a big task for us to contribute to the development of Indonesia. One strategy to achieve this is to improve the quality and potential of existing human resources," said the Rector of UNHAS.
In his lecture, Dr. Piket said that there are around 900 scholarships given to Indonesian students every year through their flagship program, Erasmus.
"I'm not happy yet; I'm sure Prof. JJ also agrees, and we know that the demands and potential that we have together can be developed," said Dr. Piket. To reach more students in Indonesia, the ASEAN-EU Higher Education Fair 2023 will be held virtually on September 2. At the European Higher Education Fair (EHEF) in 2014, there were 2,775 entrants from Hasanuddin University. "We will also hold the European Higher Education Fair (EHEF) 2023 in person in several regions around Java," the Ambassador continued.
