AUSN Cooperation Agreement with University Gadjah Mada (UGM), Indonesia


American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN) is honored to have signed a MOU with University Gadjah Mada (UGM) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia and has convened several joint workshops together.  

University Gadjah Mada (UGM) is the oldest university in Indonesia, and plays a central role in development of medical curriculum and biomedical sciences and bioethics across Indonesia. UGM is in Yogyakarta, and has 56,000 students and 4 thousand faculty.  The first concrete activity of the new agreement was holding a Joint Conference on 3 September 2013.

There were also discussions on the joint degree programs in Bioethics to enhance the cooperation between the many Peoples and communities of Indonesia and USA, and globally. This builds on the existing close connections between the Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities and Eubios Ethics Institute to develop bioethics education programs across Asia and the Pacific, and especially for developing countries.

UGM joined AUSN and Eubios Ethics Institute to host the Fifth Youth Forum Looking Beyond Disaster (LBD5) in Sept. 2014, and was also the host of the 17th Asian Bioethics Conference  and AUSN Intensive Bioethics Workshop in November 2016.
