Closing remarks Political Deputy Minister to the Ministry of Education, Dr.

Tsong-Ming-Lin President of the National Taiwan University of Science & Technology, Prof. ShiShuenn Chen, Rectors of Taiwan Universities Rectors of the Indonesian Universities & the Indonesian Delegation Distinguish Guests; Ladies and Gentlemen;

First of all, I would like to say thank you and great appreciation to all participants both Taiwan and Indonesian delegation who have made tremendeous efforts, patience and strong commitment to finally complete this 2-day Higher Education Summit. We also like to thanks to the Ministry of Education of Taiwan and also the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology as hosts who served us very well, not just only with this remarkable event, but also with comfortable and pleasent accommodation, delicious food, and the more important is your hospitality.

Ladies and Gentlemen Through this 2-day meeting, we all know and it is undeniable that under globalization era the higher education marketplace has globally expanded and the development itself is no longer limited to a national context but emerges as global issues shared among neighboring countries across the national border. Regional cooperation and collaboration in higher education then

becomes mandatory.

We, therefore, are glad that we have made many mutual benefits, sharing ideas and experiences, and also develop more potential collaborations during

our summit. We have come to set up strategies among us in order to upgrade our academic collaborations and build the international higher education community network. I do believe that this 1st Higher Education Summit has built nurtured opportunities for understanding more in-depth each higher education system, and develop a wider and further arrangement either by Uto-U (University to University) and/or P-to-P (people to people) contact.

Ladies and Gentlemen We in Indonesia know very well that in quality of education in Taiwan has reached the world standard. Indonesia would like to learn from you how Taiwan achieves this standard. In this 2-day meeting we are able to share knowledge and information not just only how Taiwan University can do very well on vocational and technological sector development and build strong linkages between university and industrial sector, but also discussing possible collaboration on other sectors, such as education, nursing, and art. We realize that by opening many sectors could flourish our potential future collaboration, not just only on scholarship program, but also on other academic collaboration such as Double Degree, Joint Degree, Credit Transfer, Student/ Staff exchange, and Research and Publication. Joint

Moreover, the opportunity of having this summit is only for the university delegation, but also for the ministerial delegation. Yesterday we were glad to have a meeting with the Ministry of Education of Taiwan to develop more mutual benefial agreement to boost more opportunities for Indonesian students to study in Taiwan. We agreed to enhance DGHEs scholarship

program by setting up (3+1) scholarship scheme. DGHE of Indonesia will provide full-coverage scholarship for Indonesian faculty members at the first

three years of their doctoral studies at any fields of study programs, and the Ministry of Education of Taiwan will provide an additional full-coverage scholarship for the fourth year of study in case the students need longer time to complete their studies. We already asked Indonesian state university

consortium for putting this agreement into the consortiums agenda and to set up any follow-up action to implement this agreement. As part of our commitment to strengthen this collaboration and to find more mutual beneficial collaborations, then, we are glad to announce that we would have the next Higher Education Summit in Bali, Indonesia in the mid of May 2013. We, therefore, gladly invite the Ministry of Education of Taiwan with

university delegation to come and visit Indonesia, and have further beneficial collaborations. And at the same time, we do hope that your delegation will enjoy the beatifulness and hospitality of Bali and have a pleasure in Bali. Thank you very much, and see all of you in 2013 in Bali, Indonesia.
