The collaboration between the Faculty of Science and Technology, Universitas Airlangga (FST UNAIR), and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) marks a strategic step toward strengthening international academic networks. FST UNAIR has actively initiated communication with NTU to develop joint research and academic cooperation.
This initiative originated from correspondence between Tuti Lim, Ph.D., and Nur Indradewi Oktavitri, S.T., M.T., Ph.D. Through this exchange, both parties established initial mutual understanding. Moreover, they emphasized the importance of synergy in advancing research and enhancing the quality of higher education.
FST UNAIR–NTU Singapore Collaboration through Virtual Meeting
As a follow-up, FST UNAIR and NTU held a virtual meeting on March 27, 2026, at 08:00 AM (WIB) via Zoom. The session was also attended by Prof. Yang, whose presence enriched the academic discussion.
FST UNAIR leadership actively participated in the meeting. Mochamad Zakki Fahmi, Ph.D., represented Vice Dean I. Fatmawati, Ph.D., represented Vice Dean III. Meanwhile, Suryani Dyah Astuti, Ph.D., represented Vice Dean II. In addition, faculty members from the Environmental Engineering Study Program of FST UNAIR actively engaged in the discussion.
During the session, both institutions presented their respective research strengths. Participants reviewed ongoing projects and identified relevant opportunities for collaboration. Priority areas include student exchange programs, joint supervision, and collaborative research in civil and environmental engineering.
The meeting opened pathways for the development of international academic programs. Therefore, both institutions expressed a strong commitment to maintaining intensive communication. In the next phase, they plan to design concrete programs that can be implemented in the near future.
Strategically, FST UNAIR continues to promote the internationalization of higher education through global partnerships. Consequently, this collaboration expands access to international academic resources. In addition, it enhances opportunities for high-impact scientific publications. Furthermore, the partnership supports academic mobility for both faculty members and students.
Ultimately, the collaboration between FST UNAIR and NTU Singapore represents a concrete step in addressing global challenges through science and technology. Moving forward, FST UNAIR will continue to develop strategic partnerships to strengthen its position at the international level.
