The Faculty of Geography at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) welcomed the initiative for cooperation from the Aceh Provincial Government. The Aceh Provincial Government’s Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM) conducted exploratory talks on cooperation at the UGM Faculty of Geography on Wednesday, July 8, 2026. This cooperation will focus on strengthening human resource capacity through continuing education activities.
Discussions regarding future collaboration were held between a representative from BPSDM Aceh, Ms. Laila Musfira, S.Pd., M.A., and representatives from the Faculty of Geography, including the Chair of the Master’s Program in Remote Sensing, the Chair of the Master’s Program in Geography, the Head of the Domestic Cooperation Unit, and the Head of the International Cooperation Unit.
Supporting the improvement of human resource quality is one of the commitments of the Faculty of Geography at Gadjah Mada University (UGM). One of the key agenda items is the introduction of the Split Site Master’s Program (SSMP) at Gadjah Mada University, specifically within the Faculty of Geography through the Master’s Program in Remote Sensing and the Master’s Program in Geography. Other discussions also centered on scholarship programs for advanced education. Therefore, this collaborative initiative is expected to serve as the beginning of a strong partnership between the UGM Faculty of Geography and the Aceh Government, specifically the BPSDM in the future.
