Conducted online via Zoom, the event served as a forum for doctoral students and the SPS leadership to discuss various matters regarding the doctoral study journey.
Centered on the theme "A Space for Dialogue, Aspirations, and Solutions: Synergy in the Doctoral Study Journey," the event was attended by doctoral students from the School of Postgraduate Studies at Diponegoro University.

**A Forum for Dialogue and Voicing Aspirations**
The session was designed as an interactive forum providing students with the opportunity to voice their aspirations, ask questions, offer input, and raise various issues encountered during their doctoral studies.
Through direct dialogue, students and the leadership of the Undip Graduate School were able to exchange information and build a shared understanding regarding the various dynamics involved in the doctoral study journey.
In doctoral education, students are not only required to complete their research and dissertations but must also navigate various academic stages that demand communication, coordination, and readiness to face the challenges that arise throughout the course of their studies.
Master of Environmental Science (MIL) Students Learn from Doctoral Students' Experiences
The participation of Master of Environmental Science (MIL) students in this discussion forum offered a unique opportunity to gain insight into academic life at the doctoral level.
By attending the forum, MIL students could directly observe the discussions, aspirations, and experiences shared by doctoral students. This interaction was intended to provide MIL students with valuable insights regarding the various stages, challenges, and the importance of effective communication during their studies at the Graduate School.
Furthermore, the students' attendance served as part of their non-formal learning process. The experience of participating in an academic forum alongside doctoral students and Graduate School leadership equips them with a foundation for their future academic and professional development.
Strengthening Synergy within the Undip Graduate School
The dialogue session between doctoral students and the Dean highlights the importance of fostering communication and synergy within the Universitas Diponegoro Graduate School (SPS Undip).
Student aspirations and feedback are expected to serve as a basis for evaluating and improving academic services. Meanwhile, for MIL students, participation in the forum offers an opportunity to learn from the experiences of doctoral students and gain a better understanding of the academic dynamics at SPS Undip.
