Prof. Gunawan explained his opinion about globalization as a process towards goodness which could be built from inside (local). “Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi” performs local wisdom by accompanying the society. There is a need to face the global challenges. The things to do are optimizing cooperation with many parties in strategic alliance, increasing society companion’s capacity with training of trainer, and also broadening development success examples, which implement local wisdom, built by UGM.

Prof. Basu underlined the values embraced by FEB UGM, which are integrity, professionalism, objectivity and conformity, academic freedom, and social concerns, to be wise to face the global condition. Then, Prof. Indra explained that education should not only lead to international trend, but also raise local wisdom as a foundation to strengthen the usefulness towards society. The curriculum should be arranged by carrying the character of the nation.
