ITB was represented by a delegation of approximately 15 members at the international higher education forum, where they explored opportunities for collaboration in education, research, innovation, and human resource development.

ITB's participation also aimed to promote its international mobility programs, including various summer courses, joint research initiatives, and collaborative student supervision with prospective partners.

The participation further reinforced ITB's strategy to enhance its international reputation and competitiveness, supporting its ambition to rank among the world's top 150 universities by 2030.

ITB Rector, Prof. Dr. Ir. Tatacipta Dirgantara, M.T., IPU, ASEAN Eng., emphasized that participating in the QS Higher Ed Summit presented a strategic opportunity to establish and strengthen international partnerships.

As part of the summit, ITB scheduled five key meetings with strategic partners to discuss potential collaborations, including the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with one of its strategic partners. In addition, several international universities had directly approached ITB to express their interest in establishing collaborative partnerships. The ITB Rector also participated in three presidents' roundtable discussions, which addressed the strategic role of universities in an evolving global landscape.

"ITB's presence at this forum is not only about enhancing our international visibility but also about creating opportunities for collaboration that strengthen our global reputation. We aim to reinforce partnerships in education, research, and impactful innovation that contribute to the advancement of knowledge and benefit society," said Prof. Tatacipta.

In addition to participating in international meetings and discussions, ITB hosted an exhibition booth to showcase its academic strengths, research capabilities, technological innovations, community development initiatives, and various opportunities for international collaboration.
