It is hoped that there will be the same commitment to building institutions, including accelerating the realization of Undiksha’s vision as a superior university based on the Tri Hita Karana philosophy in Asia by 2045. “I hope that everything can take Undiksha in a better direction. Can realize strategic plans, medium-term development plans, and Renop. Including realizing the vision. It could be faster,” he said.
In his first term of office, 2015-2019, Jampel said various breakthroughs had been made in improving the quality of the institution. Starting from the declaration of the year of accreditation, year of publication, year of information technology, and year of internationalization at home. In the next four years or the 2019-2023 period, he as the chancellor of the largest university in North Bali has carried the vision of realizing a superior Undiksha based on Tri Hita Karana through internationalization and a trend center university.
Supporting this, a strategy has been prepared. In 2019-2020, it was declared the year of the reputable international university. The program is to develop a KKNI-based curriculum with international recognition and improve the quality and quantity of international research, international publications, and international conferences. Apart from that, there is also the development of internationally standardized infrastructure, reforming democratic, humanist, and collaborative higher education governance based on ubiquitous services with the use of modern information technology. It is no less important to strengthen and improve human resources, both staff and lecturers who have international recognition.
Meanwhile, 2021-2023 is declared the year of the trend center university. The program makes Undiksha a reference and role model for national learning. Apart from that, there is also the development of research that has become a national and international reference, developing downstream research results based on industrial world targets and social engineering role models, making Undiksha a publication reference with a high indexation of individuals and institutions. Strengthening human resources is also still a concern this year. It is also targeted to become a national reference. In the midst of increasingly fierce competition, the Professional Certification Institute (LSP) has also been developed. “This is what we have to do and needs the support of all stakeholders,” he said.

The number of warek is adjusted to the student body or number of students. “If in the future there is a need for warek IV, we will try to propose it,” added Jampel.
Meanwhile, Rasben Dantes is committed to carrying out his mandate as vice chancellor in charge of cooperation and academics. He wants Undiksha to be able to become a home for the entire international community. Not only formal fields but also non-formal ones. “We want people abroad to be able to learn about culture. “You can learn about lontar and digitalization,” he explained.

Those that are already A can be accredited internationally. “Scientific publications also need to be boosted,” he added.

Along with the trust given, my astungkara can answer it with work and work. “In accordance with the oath of office,” he stressed. Prof. Literature and Prof. Ngurah Suharta.
