Three Dutch universities: Leiden, Groningen and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam have joined forces again this year to organize the Pre-doctoral programme in Indonesia for admitted and future Indonesia PhD candidates at Dutch universities.

The delegation from Leiden University Medical Center, led by Dean Marlies Reinders, visited Surabaya, Makassar, and Jakarta in October 2025 to explore opportunities for research and academic cooperation. This visit marks an important step in strengthening international ties and fostering long-term collaboration between LUMC with the medical faculties of Airlangga University, Hasanuddin University, Universitas Indonesia, and Atma Jaya Catholic University. The representatives of the Office of Leiden University in Indonesia were involved in the process of preparing the visit, coordinating with partners, and assisting the delegation during the activities in Makassar, Surabaya, and Jakarta.

Fostering the collaborations with world-leading educational and research institutions, including Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), is one of strategic actions of the Faculty of Medicine of University of Indonesia (FKUI) to improve the quality of education, research, and contribute to the development of science and public health. These were the words of Vice Dean for Education, Research, and Student Affairs Dr. dr.
