UGM Partners Up with Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt Germany

Universitas Gadjah Mada signed Memorandum of Understanding with Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI) Germany this August 2021. The signing is the culmination of months of communication facilitated and initiated by the Education and Cultural Attach  in Berlin, Germany, Ardi Marwan.

THI Germany itself is a research-oriented university of applied science and engineering located in the German state of Bavaria. THI currently has three research institutes that focus on materials and surface technology, robotics, production, aviation, sustainable logistics and marketing, and start-ups and business development (science start-ups). One of THI’s institutes, CARISSMA, works directly with car manufacturer Audi and is currently a testing centre for Audi’s car crash.

The agreement between the two universities covers student, staff, and researcher exchange; research partnership; partnerships in organizing a seminar, public lecture, symposium and scientific gatherings; as well as summer schools. The Education and Cultural Attach  Ardi Marwan confirmed that the partnership also includes bachelor, master and doctorate program partnerships.

The two universities’ partnership came on the heels of the Embassy of Republic of Indonesia in Berlin’s recent diplomatic efforts in education. As written on the press release by the Embassy on Tuesday (7/9), the Education and Cultural Attach  Ardi Marwan expressed his hopes in facilitating more partnerships between Indonesian and German universities in the coming future. He also noted Germany’s high quality of education and research as well as excellent human resource output as motivations to pursue extensive cooperation with German universities.

In the same release, the Head of Office of International Affairs, I Made Andi Arsana stated that UGM is very happy with its new partnership with THI Germany. He also hopes this partnership can elevate UGM’s status to an international campus known for its excellent human resource output that helps in pushing Indonesia forward.

In line with the other comments, Sonja Bedington, the Head of International Cooperation at THI Germany,  said that she is very impressed with the partnerships UGM has constructed with renowned universities in Germany. She expressed her appreciation for the steps the university has taken to continuously partner up with German universities and its program offerings for the new partnership. She also stated that THI Germany is very interested in partnering up with more Indonesian universities.

UGM’s partnership with THI Germany isn’t the university’s first partnership with a German university. Other than with THI Germany, UGM currently has partnerships with several other German universities such as Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in Berlin, Goettingen University in Göttingen, Freie University in Berlin, FH Konstanz in Konstanz and Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule in Aachen.

Good Luck, IISMA Awardees!

Thursday (9/9), the Office of International Affairs (OIA) Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) held a Discharge and Pre-Departure event for Recipients of the Indonesia International Student Mobility Award (IISMA) 2021. This event was held online via Zoom Meeting, and was attended by IISMA awardees from Gadjah Mada University (UGM). This year, there were 109 students who were accepted as IISMA awardees from UGM, which made UGM the campus with the most awardees at this inaugural IISMA.

This event is divided into two sessions, namely the release session and the pre-departure session. The release session was filled by the Vice Chancellor for Cooperation and Alumni (Prof. Dr. Paripurna, SH, M.Hum., LL.M.) together with the Vice Chancellor for Education, Teaching and Student Affairs (Prof. Dr. Ir. Djagal Wiseso Marseno , M.Agr.). In this session, Paripurna and Djagal gave a message for the awardees to always be adaptive but still maintain the good name of the country and campus. In addition, both of them advised the awardees to make the best use of this opportunity to increase their experiences and connections.

“Well, what form of gratitude do you all have to manifest, first to protect the good name of the nation and state. This is very important because overseas things are very different,” said Djagal. “Therefore, maintain a good personality, have a good personality so that it doesn’t fade even if you are placed anywhere,” he continued.

The release session also took place in two ways, where there were two awardees who had the opportunity to share their experiences in the destination country. One of them is Fakhri Ghiffari, a 2019 UGM Mechanical Engineering student who had the opportunity to undergo a student exchange in Boston, United States.

“So in various dormitories, almost all the roommates are foreigners which allows us to mingle,” said Fakhri, conveying his initial impressions in Boston. “Yesterday, after the flight, it was a bit tiring because you couldn’t go directly to Boston. But everything was really, really worth it at the end,” he continued.

The event then continued to the second session, namely the pre-departure workshop. This session contains debriefing material and preparation for student participation abroad. This session began with a presentation by the Head of the UGM Office of International Affairs, I Made Andi Arsana, ST, ME, Ph.D. Within ten minutes, Bli Andi—as he is fondly called—talked about how to maximize the IISMA experience. Some of them were about cultural and cultural adaptation, the opportunity to build a skill base, and tips on becoming a global citizen. The presentation closed with an interesting analogy from Bli Andi regarding “holding the door”, where IISMA students have an obligation to “hold the door” on opportunities for other students who are also determined to get this golden opportunity (IISMA).

“Hopefully what you get now is not paid to the person who gives it but to the person in need. I call it to pay forward,” said Andi.

This session was then followed by a workshop from Sekar Utami Setiastuti, a lecturer at the Faculty of Economics and Business UGM. Slightly different from her previous presentations, Sekar talked about the sweet and bitter experiences of studying abroad.

“That year was the toughest year I’ve had in my life. I haven’t felt a day without an existential crisis,” said Sekar when talking about her experience taking her master’s degree in North Carolina. There are several things that cause discomfort, including lack of preparation before living in a new country and intense competition between students.

However, Sekar then gave tips for overcoming this. Some of these include accepting responsibility, self-discipline, and above all to be persistent, but knowing when to seek help. “And thankfully I survived,” concluded Sekar.

The last session of the workshop was filled with presentations by Naresy International Education Consultant (NIEC), a well-known education agent in Indonesia. Edy Purwanto, MA. as a representative of NIEC, said that there are actually three roles for the awardees: namely campus ambassadors, media ambassadors, and ambassadors for themselves. Ambassador of the country means being an ambassador for UGM and Indonesia, media ambassador means being a connector for information about IISMA for other students, and ambassador for yourself means being a knight for yourself in facing the challenges during the exchange later. In closing, the event continued with a quiz via Quizziz and a photo with the awardees.

Good Luck, IISMA Awardees!

Kamis (9/9), Kantor Urusan Internasional (KUI) Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) menyelenggarakan acara Pelepasan dan Pra-Keberangkatan Mahasiswa Penerima Indonesia International Student Mobility Award (IISMA) 2021. Acara ini diselenggarakan secara daring via Zoom Meeting, dan diikuti oleh para penerima beasiswa (awardee) IISMA yang berasal dari Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM). Tahun ini, terdapat 109 mahasiswa yang diterima sebagai awardee IISMA dari UGM, yang menjadikan UGM sebagai kampus dengan awardee terbanyak pada IISMA perdana ini. 

Pada pelaksanaannya, acara ini terbagi menjadi dua sesi, yakni sesi pelepasan dan sesi pra-keberangkatan. Sesi pelepasan diisi oleh Wakil Rektor Bidang Kerja Sama dan Alumni (Prof. Dr. Paripurna, S.H., M.Hum., LL.M.) bersama dengan Wakil Rektor Bidang Pendidikan, Pengajaran dan Kemahasiswaan (Prof. Dr. Ir. Djagal Wiseso Marseno, M.Agr.). Pada sesi ini, Paripurna dan Djagal memberi pesan bagi para awardee untuk senantiasa adaptif tetapi tetap menjaga nama baik negara dan kampus. Selain itu, keduanya berpesan agar para awardee dapat memanfaatkan kesempatan ini sebaik-baiknya untuk memperbanyak pengalaman serta koneksi.

“Nah, bentuk syukur apa yang harus anda semua itu wujudkan, pertama menjaga nama baik bangsa dan negara. Ini sangat penting sekali karena di luar negeri segala sesuatunya sangat berbeda,” kata Djagal. “Oleh karena itu, tetap punya kepribadian, punya personality yang baik supaya tidak luntur meski anda ditempatkan di manapun,” lanjutnya.

Sesi pelepasan juga berlangsung dua arah, di mana terdapat dua awardee yang berkesempatan untuk menceritakan pengalamannya di negara tujuan. Salah satunya yakni Fakhri Ghiffari, mahasiswa Teknik Mesin UGM 2019 yang berkesempatan untuk menjalani pertukaran pelajar di Boston, Amerika Serikat.

“Jadi di berbagai dormitory hampir semua roommatenya itu dengan orang asing sehingga kami dapat berbaur di sini,” kata Fakhri, menyampaikan kesan awalnya di Boston. “Kalau kemarin dari flightnya sih agak-agak melelahkan karena tidak dapat langsung ke Boston. Namun semuanya sangat-sangat worth it di akhir,” lanjutnya.

Acara kemudian dilanjutkan ke sesi kedua, yakni workshop pra-keberangkatan. Sesi ini berisi materi pembekalan dan persiapan partisipasi mahasiswa ke luar negeri. Sesi ini diawali dengan pemaparan materi oleh Kepala Kantor Urusan Internasional UGM, I Made Andi Arsana, ST, ME, Ph.D. Dalam kurun waktu sepuluh menit, Bli Andi—sebagaimana akrab beliau disapa—bercerita mengenai cara memaksimalkan pengalaman IISMA ini. Beberapa diantaranya yakni adaptasi kultur dan  budaya, kesempatan membangun basis keahlian, hingga kiat menjadi warga dunia. Pemaparan ditutup dengan analogi menarik dari Bli Andi mengenai “menahan pintu”, di mana mahasiswa IISMA memiliki kewajiban untuk “menahan pintu” kesempatan bagi para mahasiswa lain yang juga bertekad untuk mendapatkan kesempatan emas (IISMA) ini.

“Mudah-mudahan apa yang adik-adik dapatkan sekarang tidak dibayarkan ke orang yang memberikan tapi kepada orang yang membutuhkan. Saya menyebutnya to pay forward,” kata Andi.

Sesi ini kemudian dilanjutkan dengan workshop dari Sekar Utami Setiastuti, dosen Fakultas Ekonomika dan Bisnis UGM. Sedikit berbeda dengan pemaparan-pemaparan sebelumnya, Sekar bercerita mengenai manis-pahit pengalamannya menempuh pendidikan di luar negeri.

“That year was the toughest year i’ve had my life. Nggak ada satu hari pun saya rasakan tanpa existential crisis,” kata Sekar saat bercerita mengenai pengalamannya menempuh S2 di North Carolina. Terdapat beberapa hal yang menyebabkan adanya rasa tidak nyaman, diantaranya kurangnya persiapan sebelum hidup di negara baru serta persaingan antar pelajar yang intens.  

Namun, Sekar kemudian bercerita mengenai kiatnya untuk mengatasi hal tersebut. Beberapa diantaranya yakni menerima tanggung jawab yang diemban, disiplin diri, dan yang terutama untuk menjadi tekun, tetapi tahu kapan saat untuk mencari pertolongan. “And thankfully i survived,” pungkas Sekar. 

Sesi terakhir workshop diisi dengan pemaparan materi oleh Naresy International Education Consultant (NIEC) sebagai agen pendidikan ternama di Indonesia. Edy Purwanto, MA. sebagai perwakilan NIEC, berkata bahwa sejatinya terdapat tiga peran para awardee: yakni duta kampus, duta media, serta duta bagi diri sendiri. Duta negara artinya menjadi duta bagi UGM dan Indonesia, duta media artinya menjadi penyambung informasi mengenai IISMA bagi mahasiswa-mahasiswa lain, serta duta bagi diri sendiri artinya menjadi ksatria bagi diri sendiri dalam menghadapi tantangan-tantangan semasa exchange nantinya. Sebagai penutup, acara kemudian dilanjutkan dengan kuis melalui Quizziz dan foto bersama para awardees.

 

UGM Students Develop Spice Scanner Application

Faced with the Covid-19 pandemic, the community has made numerous attempts to maintain health and boost body immunity in order to protect themselves from the disease. The utilization of herbal substances derived from spices was one of the initiatives made at the time.

Indonesia, which must be noted, boasts a wide variety of spices. Spices in the house, according to various studies, can boost the body’s immune system.

The many types of spices and their various benefits are difficult to remember. In reality, many members of today’s youth are unfamiliar with spices, both their names and varieties. 

To make it easier for the public to identify spices whose names or types are unknown, the UGM student team created a scanner application called Spices SIS (Scanner of Indonesian Spices). This SIS application was developed by Adha Maula Effendi, Rosalina Diani Prima Anargya (Pharmacy 2020), Iskan Mustamir and Karunia Perjuangan Mustadl’afin (Information Technology 2020), with the guidance of Dr. Indah Soesanti, S.T., M.T.

“Through the PKM-KC program, we made this application and managed to get full funding from the Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Culture, RI. I’m sure some young people today are not familiar with the spices around them, even those in the kitchen. I’m sure no one knows the name and type,” said Adha at UGM, Thursday (9/9).

He added that practical items developed as a result of current technology, such as instant spices, cause individuals, particularly the younger generation, to be unable to detect or discriminate between spices. In fact, the Indonesian people consider these spices to be a treasure.

“Yes, the community, including the younger generation, should be aware of the cultural wisdom that exists in their surroundings. As a result, we developed a spice scanner application that allows individuals to identify spices more easily utilizing scanning techniques,” he explained.

Rosalina added that this application can function as a digital catalog of several spices in Indonesia. This application will also provide additional information about spices, such as information on the characteristics, properties, potency, and content to recipes. Starting from the herbal ingredients that exist in the community to cooking, and with this kind of information it is hoped that knowledge of spices can always live in the community.

Furthermore, she added, people can scan spices that they don’t know about by using the application. The application can scan spices directly or use photos of spices obtained from the device gallery.

“By using scanning techniques, it is hoped that people will find it easier to identify and distinguish spices than they have to search through the internet. This application is also available for free through the Google Play Store,” she added.

Rosita Nur Anarti, S.Pd., a history activist as well as a history teacher at a high school in Yogyakarta, said she was happy with the application. She hopes that this application can revive and maintain knowledge of spices in the community.

“So that later the community can also support the proposal for the Spice Route as a world cultural heritage which is being submitted by the Ministry of Education and Culture, Research and Technology to UNESCO,” said Rosita.

The government is targeting the Spice Route to become one of UNESCO’s cultural heritages by 2024. Therefore, the presence of this application can be proof that spices are one of the treasures of the Indonesian nation which are continuously strived to be preserved.

“Through this application, it is hoped that knowledge of spices will continue to be sustainable in the community because in addition to functioning to revive knowledge of spices in the community, this application also functions as a preserver of spice knowledge itself in the form of digital information,” she said.
