Rector of ISI Yogyakarta, Prof. Dr. Drs. Timbul Raharjo, M.Hum. signed the MoU between ISI Yogyakarta and Shanghai Art Collection Museum and Shanghai Art and Design Academy on June 8, 2023 in Shanghai, China. This cooperation is carried out in order to build the protection of intangible cultural heritage of Shanghai City and its surroundings. The signing of this MoU is also an effort to implement the Tri Dharma of Higher Education and implement the Merdeka Belajar - Kampus Merdeka program.
ISI Yogyakarta continues to strive to establish cooperation with partners from abroad. This effort continues to be made in order to improve the achievement of the university's main performance index. Cooperation with foreign partners is also expected to bind ISI Yogyakarta's ranking in the QS World University Rank for the subjects of performing arts and art and design. Hopefully, the ideals to realize ISI Yogyakarta to become an international standard art college will be easier to realize.
