During this meeting, the working group brainstormed the plan for Data Verification, which will be conducted for each university participating in the assessment of HURS Version 2023 between 15 August and 16 November 2023. This process aims to ensure that each university receives feedback from two reviewers and undergoes a final verification to ensure the data is accurate and complete according to the assessment criteria. This information will be used to compile a report on the university's health promotion status (Healthy University) as part of the ongoing efforts to promote healthy university.
