As a resource person, Prof. Dr. Siti Irene Astuti Dwiningrum, M.Si. conveyed important issues related to higher education, sustainability, global citizenship and a more inclusive, adaptive and personalized education orientation. To make an entrepreneurial university, lecturers who have entrepreneurial skills are needed. Therefore, the speakers emphasized that the curriculum is the foundation for a university because the curriculum owned by an institution has its own characteristics.
