Mataram, University of Mataram – the University of Mataram collaborates with PT. SunCable Indonesia. This collaboration was marked by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Tuesday (8/8) via the Zoom Meeting digital platform.

The Rector of Unram, Prof. Ir. Bambang Hari Kusumo, M.Agr.St., Ph.D., explained that, one of the collaborations that was carried out was about receiving scholarships for 12 Unram students.
