Of course, we are very grateful for this achievement, considering how previously our efforts in hacking collaborations with industry, building international networks, and others were not easy for campuses located in Eastern Indonesia. These efforts continue to bear sweet fruit, this year we won 3 after the previous year won 2. Thank you to all UTS academicians, lecturers, and students, who continue to try together to realize various things for our beloved campus. Our appreciation also goes to our strategic partners, the government, and the community, who actively collaborate and support UTS.” Concluded the Rector
