Harun stated that this step aligns with the university’s grand vision, known as I’M UMS (Islamic, Enlightening, Excellent, Global, and Sustainable). Being a catalyst in academic collaboration, he added, is part of UMS’s mission to provide high-quality and enlightening higher education.
The UMS rector emphasized the importance of fostering an academic culture of mutual support among lecturers across campuses. “We invite everyone to do good through writing. This is part of scholarly da’wah. We want publications to be a field of lasting charitable deeds with wide-reaching impact,” he said.
As an excellent university committed to sustainable science, UMS does not merely aim for the quantity of publications, but also quality and their impact on society. Through a collaborative approach, UMS seeks to strengthen the collective spirit among Muhammadiyah academics.
“Reputable publications are a bridge to bring our ideas to global forums. This collaboration must be seen as a leap toward an international reputation that is Islamic and enlightening,” Harun concluded.
