In this workshop, the aim is to make an agreement on PS Agribusiness Cooperation of UB FP with 11 partners. Implementation of MBKM requires cooperation between industry partners, communities and educational units.

In order for the MBKM program to run smoothly, a sustainability strategy is needed. So that there are no misunderstandings between the two parties, the strategy is to always coordinate and communicate intensively between the two parties so that good relations are established according to the agreement and student learning outcomes are achieved.

Coordination and communication strategies between universities and MBKM partners can be realized by establishing agreements and signing PKS and MOUs with partners. This is needed to legalize cooperation between the two parties to immediately implement MBKM.

The signing of the PKS and MOU with partners was carried out November 7 – December 1 2020. The signing was carried out in 2 ways, namely visiting partners or through an expedition. The MOU signing process was carried out by the MBKM Grant Team. 

There are several MBKM Partners who have signed the PKS and MOU. One of them is PT. Nara Indonesia, which was held October 29 – December 4 2020.
