Collaboration between universities is one way out of the institutional isolation faced by universities everywhere. Both at the local, regional, national, and international levels. With this collaboration, it is hoped that UNRIKA can pave the way for improving the academic quality and resources of each university, in supporting the achievement and improvement of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education.
The interest of universities in Indonesia and Malaysia to join the IAEB was marked by the signing of the MOU between the IAEB and 25 universities in Indonesia and Malaysia, held at UITM Melaka to coincide with the Melaka International Intellectual Exposition on June 12, 2024.
Prof. Dr. Hj. Sri Langgeng Ratnasari, SE., MM, Rector of the University of Riau Islands said that he welcomed this MOU activity, especially when combined with the activities of International Community Service, Visiting Lecturer, Benchmarking, Business Economics Curriculum Review, this is very useful in achieving superior accreditation where international activities are a very important assessment in the accreditation of universities and study programs, and hopes that it will continue. This is an opportunity that must be seized, and we really hope that lecturers can collaborate well in research, joint service, teaching for economic and business development with universities in Malaysia, Oman and Morocco.
