University of Luzon Forges International Partnership with Universitas Persada Indonesia Y.A.I.

The University of Luzon is excited to announce a significant advancement in its commitment to global academic collaboration. On June 13, 2025, during the Internationalization Day 2025 event held at Northwestern University’s International House Function Hall, the University of Luzon officially entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Universitas Persada Indonesia Y.A.I.. This partnership, forged under the theme “Strengthening ASEAN Academic Collaboration,” aims to cultivate a vibrant environment for academic exchange and mutual development.

Luzonians can look forward to a range of prospective opportunities designed to broaden their academic horizons. These include undergraduate and postgraduate programs, student and staff exchange initiatives, student mobility programs (such as study tours, study abroad experiences ranging from one week to a year), guest lectures, joint research and publications, executive education and professional development programs, staff development programs, student recruitment, short-term training (micro-credentials), and joint conferences. The MOU also allows for exploration of other areas of mutual interest in educational projects.

This Memorandum of Understanding, signed on June 13, 2025, by Dr. Luis M. Samson Jr., University President of the University of Luzon, and Prof. Ir. Sri Astuti Indriyati, MS., Ph.D., Rector/Chancellor of Universitas Persada Indonesia Y.A.I., signifies a shared vision for advancing education and research on an international scale. It opens doors for enriching experiences and broader perspectives, fostering collaboration between the two institutions. This is an exciting period for the University of Luzon community as it moves towards a future of enhanced academic partnerships.

This collaborative endeavor directly contributes to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By “Strengthening ASEAN Academic Collaboration,” the University of Luzon and Universitas Persada Indonesia Y.A.I. are primarily advancing SDG 4: Quality Education by enhancing educational opportunities, promoting lifelong learning, and fostering inclusive and equitable quality education through student and staff exchanges, joint research, and various academic programs. Furthermore, the focus on internationalization and regional collaboration aligns with SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, as it emphasizes global partnerships for sustainable development. The exchange of knowledge, resources, and expertise between the two institutions strengthens the means of implementation and revitalizes the global partnership for sustainable development.
