Covid-19 has not only affected the lives of many people but also dramatically changed the academic landscape worldwide. To deal with the aftermath, we took the initiative to call for a meeting among program coordinators in Bayview Penang Hotel on the 3rd and 4th December 2022.

Discussions were centred around quality and accreditation, supervision of postgraduate students, strategies to increase the number of international postgraduate students, efficiency of visa processing, and integration of work life balance.
