The first session of this seminar began with a presentation from Zulfa Sakhiya, Ph.D. which describes international collaboration for academic excellence. "Submitting to international journals is very good because we will get feedback from experts so we will be motivated," said Zulfa.

Then the event continued with a presentation by Abdul Gaffar Karim, Ph.D. which explains the space of liberation in higher education. "The academic community tends to look for solutions to liberation outside campus because inside campus it becomes very administrative," said Gaffar.

After the resource person gave his presentation, a question and answer session was opened for the resource person by students. Students were very active in asking questions to resource persons and were enthusiastic from the start in participating in this public discussion.
