On October 10, as part of the WINNER 2023 kickoff, UMY participated in the Matchmaking Event at the Century Park Hotel in Jakarta to connect with universities from the Netherlands. dr. Maria Ulfa, MMR, Ph.D., as Head of the Cooperation Division of the Office of Cooperation and International Affairs UMY, represented UMY. Throughout the entirety of the Matchmaking Event, in-depth discussions on the potential for collaboration between UMY and Dutch universities took place.

Following the successful completion of the Matchmaking Event, the event continued with the opening ceremony and seminars concentrating on the academic development of Indonesia and the Netherlands. In the meantime, the campus exhibitions are conducted via the website Hopin. Thus, the exhibition was conducted simultaneously for 24 hours without interruption.

Promoting UMY to students in the Netherlands and connecting with new potential partners from the Netherlands has been a fantastic opportunity for UMY. It was hoped that it would make students in the Netherlands aware of and interested in UMY, while also fostering cooperation between UMY and universities in the Netherlands, such as Hanze University of Applied Sciences and Vrije University Amsterdam.
