Prof. Robert believes that the synergy between the expertise of each university will create significant added value.
Apart from research, it is hoped that the collaboration that has been established can be expanded to other fields that can support higher education tri dharma activities such as student exchanges, guest lecturers, and even holding joint international conferences.
The collaboration established with ANU is a big step for UPNVJ to achieve the university's vision as an international quality university that is innovative, competitive and has an identity in the development of Indonesian society.

UPNVJ is currently heading towards becoming a superior university, not only at the national but also international level.
Therefore, we are currently working towards being recognized in the QS world rankings. We sent contacts to our partners on international campuses, including Prof. Robert. Thank you Prof. Robert for the response to the QS team's assessment.
As a university that is seeking recognition in the QS world rankings, support from partners at international universities such as ANU is of course very important to improve the progress of education, research and community service.
