The Mathematics Education Study Program of FMIPA UNY in 2020 has obtained International Accreditation and Certification (ASIIN and AUN-QA) and Superior Accreditation from BAN-PT in 2021. Therefore, for the third time the Inbound Visiting Professor (VP) activity in 2022 has been carried out by the Mathematics Education Study Program. After Dr. Jose Hanham from the School of Education Western Sydney University, Australia and Dr. Ouhao Chen from Loughborough University, United Kingdom (UK), the last VP activity was to bring Prof. Milton Rosa and Prof. Daniel Clark Orey from Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP) - Brazil.

In addition, to support UNY's vision to become a World Class University in 2025, VP activities are followed up by the Mathematics Education Study Program by pioneering international cooperation. The Coordinator of the Study Program, Mrs. Endah Retnowati, M.Ed., Ph.D. together with the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs and Cooperation of FMIPA UNY, Prof. Drs. Jaslin Ikhsan, M.App.Sc., Ph.D. online held a meeting with the Director of the International Relations Office of Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (UFOP) - Brazil, Anderson Gamarano on Friday, December 16, 2022. Also present were Prof. Milton Rosa and Prof. Daniel Clark Orey as representatives of the Mathematical Education Department of UFOP.

Anderson Gamarano in his speech said that the agreement with UNY was the first cooperation between UFOP and universities in Indonesia. According to him, this collaboration also feels different because it has been preceded by VP activities in the Mathematics Education Study Program by Prof. Milton Rosa and Prof. Daniel Clark Orey. Whereas usually the implementation of cooperation occurs after a cooperation agreement.

The Vice Dean for Academic Affairs and Cooperation of FMIPA UNY, Prof. Drs. Jaslin Ikhsan, M.App.Sc., Ph.D. is very grateful and happy with the initiation of the Mathematics Education Study Program for this collaboration. The signing of the collaboration was carried out after the relevant documents were examined and adjusted by both parties.

The Coordinator of the Mathematics Education Study Program, Mrs. Endah Retnowati, M.Ed., Ph.D. said that the result of the meeting was a cooperation agreement (MoU) between UNY and UFOP and specifically for the Mathematics Education Study Program in the future it could be realized in the form of student exchanges, VP Inbond - Outbond, internship programs, joint research and service, student mentoring (S3), and other academic-non-academic activities.
