We were honoured to participate in the EQUITY WCU UNDIP 2026 Program through a one-week academic visit to Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP), Semarang, Indonesia, represented by Prof. Natrah Fatin Mohd Ikhsan and Prof. Razif Harun.

The visit provided an excellent platform to strengthen academic ties and explore new opportunities for collaboration. Throughout the week, our representatives were actively involved in a series of meaningful activities, including research collaboration discussions, guest lectures, a manuscript workshop, industrial visits, and meetings to advance the UPMโ€“UNDIP joint academic program.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Prof. Sapto P. Putro and his team for their warm hospitality, generous support, and outstanding arrangements throughout the program. Your kindness and professionalism made the visit both productive and memorable.

ALBIC looks forward to building on this partnership with UNDIP and advancing impactful collaborations in research, academic exchange, and innovation. Together, we can create greater opportunities for knowledge sharing and sustainable development.
