Previously, PKH UPI had also cooperated with NAC. This was a form to extend the cooperation that had been agreed on by both parties from the previous year. The form of cooperation plan that was being discussed includes the construction of a research centre facility which can later be used to conduct the research and also the funding in constructing the facility building.
