Medan Area University (UMA) continues to demonstrate its commitment to supporting sustainable development in the region by collaborating with the Deli Serdang Regency Government. This collaboration began with an official visit by UMA to the Deli Serdang Regency Government office on Wednesday (April 10).

During the meeting, UMA affirmed its readiness and potential to support regional development, particularly through collaborative research that supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UMA, through its various Research and Innovation Centers, is ready to contribute to addressing development challenges in Deli Serdang Regency.

“This is part of the BIPK 2025 agenda in the SDGs & Green Campus Initiative program, which reflects UMA’s commitment to continue encouraging collaboration between academics and the government,” said Dian Fajar Prayoga.

Mr. Khoirum Rizal welcomed this collaboration and emphasized the importance of innovation from universities in driving sustainable growth in the region. He hopes this partnership will create synergy between UMA’s research strengths and local development needs.
