Friday, April 2nd, 2021, The Statistics Study Program UNY (http://stat.fmipa.uny.ac.id/) has collaborated with the Mathematics Department of the Sultan Idris University of Education, Malaysia (https://fsmt.upsi.edu.my /mathematics/). Activities that have been carried out include visiting professors (lecturer exchanges), research, and mentoring in writing scientific articles for UNY statistics students by UPSI Malaysia's Mathematics Lecturer. In 2021, the two study programs have agreed to expand cooperation by adding joint-research and community service activities. Both parties agreed to carry out expertise matching, namely grouping lecturers who have the same level of expertise, so that opportunities for joint academic development increase. Routine collaborative activities such as credit transfers which will be carried out in odd semesters of 2021 will not only provide real academic experiences for students, but also support the achievement of the government program, namely Merdeka Belajar–Kampus Merdeka. Monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of this collaboration is carried out periodically so that its sustainability becomes more beneficial for the internationalization of the Statistics study program Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta.
