On July 21, 2022, UNIKA Atma Jaya had the opportunity to organize a visit from the President of Timor Leste, Dr. José Ramos-Horta with his colleagues. During the visit, President Ramos-Horta and his colleagues together with the Chancellor of UNIKA Atma Jaya, Dr. Agustinus Prasetyantoko, gave a presidential lecture on Global and Regional Political Communication in improving the quality of education. Students and the general public can also take part in this presidential lecture online through the Zoom Meeting.
The activity then continued with the signing of a collaboration between UNIKA Atma Jaya and Timor Leste in providing scholarships for the children of Timor Leste. The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was carried out both offline and online with 10 rectors of universities in Timor Leste. After that, President Dr. José Ramos-Horta and UNIKA Atma Jaya Chancellor Dr. Agustinus Prasetyantoko exchanged souvenirs as a memento.
