UGM has organised a number of seminars/dialogues with the government and/or NGOs that specifically address policy. The following is an agenda related to the field of law and technology.
The Faculty of Law UGM organised a discussion with the theme ‘Empirical Study of Monitoring and Review of Law Number 30 Year 2014 on Government Administration’ (Faculty of Law UGM and DPD RI Discuss Government Administration Law). This event brought together various stakeholders, including academia, policymakers, and members of the Regional Representative Council (DPD RI), to evaluate the effectiveness and practical application of the Government Administration Law. The primary output of this dialogue was a set of recommendations aimed at improving the Government Administration Law (UU AP). These improvements were intended to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency within government operations, aligning the law with current governance challenges and ensuring better public service delivery.
