Batam, 22 June 2023 — Merdeka Belajar – Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) is a program initiated by the Indonesian Minister of Education and Culture. The program aims to encourage students to acquire a diverse range of knowledge as a foundation for their future careers. To enhance the implementation of this program, universities have taken the initiative to conduct Partnership Development Visits to Prospective MBKM Partners. These visits typically involve exploring potential partnerships with institutions or organizations.
