ITS Surabaya – Instiut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) continues to demonstrate its commitment to producing graduates with a global perspective. Through the ITS Overseas Mobility Scholarship (IOMS) program, dozens of ITS students have participated in and are currently participating in international mobility programs at various leading universities around the world.

This program is designed to facilitate ITS students in participating in international academic activities, such as student exchange programs and laboratory internships. By immersing themselves in a global educational environment, students are expected to learn, collaborate, and expand their international networks.

The extraordinary success of the IOMS program is undoubtedly inseparable from the vital role of the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP). As the primary sponsor of the World-Class University EQUITY (Enhancing Quality Education for International University Recognition) funding program, LPDP has served as a tangible bridge in realizing ITS students’ dreams of stepping onto the global stage.

LPDP’s extraordinary dedication to funding and supporting the advancement of higher education in Indonesia deserves the highest appreciation. Through LPDP’s sustained support, the EQUITY program has been able to make a significant and direct impact on improving the quality, exposure, and competitiveness of Indonesian students on the international stage.

ITS students are sent abroad not merely as an effort to improve academic performance, but as a tangible demonstration of ITS’s commitment to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, this initiative directly contributes to achieving SDG 4 (Quality Education) through the expansion of global access to education, as well as SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) through the strengthening of cross-border collaboration among institutions.

This international mobility serves as a strategic platform for students to exchange ideas and seek solutions to various global challenges. This initiative further strengthens ITS’s internationalization ecosystem, which consistently promotes the values of sustainable development—ranging from international mobility collaboration initiatives to SDG awareness campaigns at the elementary school level, to the expansion of innovation and research at leading universities worldwide through this IOMS program.

This EQUITY support from LPDP has dispatched a total of 21 outstanding ITS students to various renowned universities worldwide during the Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 periods. Here is the list of ITS’s national ambassadors:
