On 14-17 November 2018, students from the Faculty of Economics and Business from all departments went to Brawijaya University, Malang to become competition delegates. The competition is called Seventseas ( Sharia Economic Event South East Asia ). There are two types of competitions, namely scientific papers and business plans. There were 5 teams of UNAIR representatives who took part in the LKTI and 1 team in the business plan One team consists of three people, but because there were several children who were unable to attend, only 16 people could take part in the competition.
The series of events is a technical meeting (14 November 2018). The next day, November 15 2018, was the paper and business plan presentation. On November 16 2018 there was a field trip to Eco Green Park and Brawijaya's souvenir, An-Nur Batu Mosque. November 17 2018 is a national and international seminar.
There was a lot of knowledge gained from the brothers who built and motivated each other towards better change. We have gained quite a lot of knowledge, especially regarding Islamic philanthropy to realize maqashid sharia. The instruments of zakat, infaq, shadaqah, waqf are capable of having a positive impact on the welfare of society if they are managed well by the private sector and also the government. We are very happy to be able to participate in this competition, even though only one team was able to win third place.
