This event is part of a joint consortium between universities in Europe and Southeast Asia, led by Professor Aneta Caplanova from the University of Economics in Bratislava. The overall members include: the Master’s Program in Management at FEB USAKTI, Gadjah Mada University (UGM), and Islamic University of Indonesia (UII), along with three institutions from Thailand: Srinakharinwirot University, Naresuan University, and ICONIDA.
