Promoting Meaningful Research

Prof. Reini Wirahadikusumah Ph.D, Rector of ITB

Together with other nation stakeholders, ITB continues to guide advancement in science, technology, and art that upholds social and human values in processing the nation’s natural and cultural resources to become an independent, prosperous, and equitable nation with cultural nobility and national sovereignty and be able to participate in realizing peace and welfare of mankind.

One of ITB’s development directions that we develop is represented in the expression that we are currently striving for ITB as a Globally Respected and Locally Relevant University with the usefulness and impacts of our innovative works. Besides in the education and community service as the mandate of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, this usefulness and impacts also lie primarily in the research focus.

We pay attention to the international to very local spectrum and Tri Dharma as a continuum of research excellence development. Research does not only stop at a piece of paper, but also its applications and escalations as an answer to the needs of humanity’s progress in the midst of disruptive changes.

To enhance and expand the usefulness and impacts of research conducted by ITB scientists, the development of platforms and messages in expanding audiences and readability is one of the main ways that needs to be taken. The periodic publication of the ITB Research Bulletin is an important step in increasing the meaningfulness of the scientific and academic efforts that have been, are being, and will be carried out.

Through the development of a communication platform, we hope that excellent research products will continue to grow as a milestone in the development of knowledge and technology and as the potential for direct application and replication in society. This commitment is the foundation for the strategic development of other communication platforms in ITB.
