The collaborative workshop held on Monday, May 13, 2024, on the 3rd floor of the LPPM Building at Unisba proceeded smoothly and effectively. It was attended by the complete internal structural team of LPPM and conducted in a hybrid format to welcome the visiting delegation from the Muslim Educational Society Kalladi Mannarkad, India. The event was opened by the Head of LPPM Unisba, Prof. Dr. Neni Sri Imaniyati, S.H., M.Hum. She stated that this activity is an excellent opportunity to enhance collaboration in research and community service at the international level and is also one of our efforts to obtain external collaboration grants from abroad.

The next agenda was a presentation by the Rector of MES Kalladi Mannarkad, India, Prof. Dr. Charumadathil Rajesh, who explained the profile of his campus and described in detail the activities that could be collaborated on with LPPM Unisba, particularly in research and community service. This was followed by a workshop session with Prof. Dr. Ayappuracal Muhammed Shihab and Dr. Thevar Kunnath Jaleel, along with the LPPM Unisba team.

The workshop resulted in several agreements, including proposed grants for cooperation on community service programs, which will be followed up through more intensive discussions with each PPKM collaboration team from both LPPM and MES Kalladi Mannarkad, India. The hope is that these can be implemented within the current year and the following year.
