Most recently, the University of the Riau Islands implemented MOA and IA with Medan State University. By collaborating between UNRIKA and Medan State University, it is hoped that students will be able to explore various fields of study and academic environments and gain more comprehensive insights. This joint effort is expected to include not only student exchanges, but also cooperation in research, curriculum development, and implementation of joint activities. It is hoped that this synergy will not only provide benefits for students but also enrich their study experience at both institutions.
Higher education in Indonesia is faced with various important power relations as a response to global developments and increasingly complex social demands. Responding to these challenges, the concept of “Free Learning Campus” was introduced to give students more freedom in designing the educational curriculum and developing skills according to their interests. The key step in optimizing this concept is collaboration between universities.
