Dr. Merry E. Kalalo, SH., MH. (Coordinator of the Doctoral Program in Law, Unsrat), stated that following this visit to the Unhas Graduate School, further discussions would be held with the Head of the Unsrat Graduate Program regarding cooperation in the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, including the possibility of external examiners from Unhas in relevant fields, as well as cooperation in community service and research.

The Vice Dean for Partnership, Research, and Innovation of the Unhas Graduate School, Dr. Amir Ilyas, SH., MH., also explained that one of the challenges at the Unhas Graduate School is still the limited number of permanent lecturers, and mentioned several areas open for cooperation: first, journals; and second, a new Criminology study program that is planned to be opened, in which Unhas would collaborate at the Master's level in Criminology. A double-degree program is also currently being developed, and the Rector has emphasized IT development, with the system already running and IT infrastructure at Unhas continuing to progress.
