A number of Management lecturers from the Indonesian Semen International University (UISI), invited KPS MM FEB Unair, Dr.
Gancar C. Premananto, to discuss Research Methods for 2 days (23-24 January 2017). Material from philosophy to quantitative and qualitative techniques was presented and discussed at the event. Also included are various misconceptions in quantitative methodology which also makes for an interesting discussion.
KPS MM FEB Unair even raised the issue of spirituality in carrying out metpen. Among the meta goals of research activities is a form of searching for a way to find and get to God. That past experts such as Albert Einstein, Louis Pasteur, Galileo Galelei, etc., have found that the knowledge they obtained ultimately showed that there is a God behind all matter. That the journey to do research is also a religious journey.

The event which took place both at UISI and MM FEB Unair ended with enthusiasm to conduct more and better research and guidance. There was even a plan for regular meetings to share the latest ideas, including research ideas.
