UNY aims to boost further international collaboration. One of the efforts is by opening more opportunities for lecturer from UNY and respected partner university to have real research collaboration, sharing session and international lecturer exchange. For this reason, UNY supported Dwi Harsono, Ph.D, lecturer in the Department of Public administration UNY, to participate in visiting professor program. Dwi Harsono, Ph.D is visiting Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Malaysia  from 17 April to 3 May 2019.

During the visit, Dwi Harsono, Ph.D planned to give lectures, meeting with the dean and management, sharing session with UiTM Lecturers on Governance Reform in Indonesia, and research meeting with research coordinator.
