The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) UGM welcomed a delegation from National Chengchi University (NCCU) Taiwan at the Kertanegara Meeting Room on Friday, February 14, 2025. The meeting focused on potential collaborations in research and education, along with an information session on NCCU’s Ph.D. program.

“We hope to learn from NCCU and identify common areas for collaboration moving forward,” he stated on Friday (2/14).
Discussions centered on potential partnerships, particularly in joint supervision and research, with an emphasis on finance and the integration of technology in business. The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in marketing and business was also a key topic.
Dr. Sahid Nugroho, M.Sc., Head of the Master of Science in Management program at FEB UGM, underscored the importance of incorporating AI and machine learning in business and digital marketing. He highlighted that partnering with NCCU, a university renowned for its expertise in business technology, is a strategic move to enhance graduate competencies.
