JABAR EKSPRES —The Department of Physics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) of Universitas Indonesia (UI) through the Medical Physics and Biophysics Group (KBI) received funding from the DAAD German Academic Exchange Service worth Rp5 billion.
Dean of FMIPA UI, Dede Djuhana, Ph.D. at the UI Depok Campus, Friday, said that the involvement of KBI Medical Physics and Biophysics in collaborative research and education projects is an important contribution to FMIPA UI’s international cooperation with foreign partners, especially Germany.
National and international collaboration in education, research, and innovation, said Dede, is the key to success in building institutional capacity and quality. That way, it will produce superior human resources and be able to compete at the international level.
“We hope that the collaboration will continue and produce innovations that benefit the wider community,” said Dede.
This is in line with FMIPA UI’s academic internationalization program to increase the capacity of researchers, the quality of research results, and the recognition of FMIPA UI institutions at the global and international levels.
