Through this workshop, LPPM UM seeks to enhance coordination between the work units involved in the EQUITY program. This collaboration is considered crucial to ensure that all data, achievements, and indicators are compiled systematically, accurately, and in compliance with international reporting standards.
In addition to strengthening synergy between units, this activity is also expected to reinforce a collective commitment to improving institutional performance, particularly regarding THE Impact Ranking indicators. With more structured and measurable reporting, UM hopes its ranking among world universities will continue to rise. Overall, this workshop demonstrates UM’s dedication to implementing performance-based reporting governance and strengthening the role of higher education in supporting global sustainable development goals.
