Taking place at the Indonesian Ombudsman Office in Jakarta, the signing took place solemnly and was continued with a discussion process related to collaboration between the two institutions. “We really hope that it is not only related to internships but can also be expanded with other activities so that it can introduce the duties and work of the Ombudsman to students. This is also part of the Ombudsman’s task to network to build more concrete cooperation. We are very open to opening more opportunities for research and dissemination. Especially for students, I am sure there will be many things or values that can be taken if they do an internship at the Ombudsman. They will see how the existing complaint process can be followed up.” said the speech from Mr. Dr. Johanes Widijantoro, S.H., M.H. as the Member of Leaders of Ombudsman.
“The current ongoing collaboration with the Ombudsman is the implementation of the MBKM Legal Practice where several of our students in the Undergraduate Law Study Program have carried out an internship for 1 semester at the Ombudsman Representative in Yogyakarta. The MBKM Legal Practice Program at the Study Program has been running since 2020 and students who take part in this program can be converted into 20 credits according to the guidelines set by the Study Program.” said the speech from Mr. Drs. Agus Triyanta, S.H., M.A., Ph.D. as the Deputy Dean for Religious, Cooperation, and Alumni Affairs.
“With other campuses, there is currently a joint research grant program related to the Digitalization of Examination Results. We hope that there will be many collaborations that can also be collaborated with UII,” added Mr. Gunawan Irwin Siallagan as an Associate Expert Policy Analyst.
The event was closed with the submission of the cooperation document and the exchange of souvenirs. While in Jakarta, the Faculty of Law UII delegation will also explore cooperation with several other institutions that can be utilized later for the academic community at Faculty of Law UII.
