“As leaders, we really appreciate UR students because there is an increase in the number of submissions for proposal titles that pass funded by the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education. The previous year, UR sent 52 titles, and alhamdulillah in 2017, UR sent 92 scientific papers. This is an achievement that we should all appreciate together. Hopefully, the work that has been made by these students can be useful for the wider community in the future,” hoped the Chancellor.
The Chancellor of UR, added that it would be better if the scientific works that had been produced by these students in the future could be registered with the Intellectual Property Rights (HAKI). There are scientific works that are discoveries, so students who find this work need to get legal force for the work they have made.

PKM 5 Bidang ini merupakan upaya pemerintah dalam memfasilitasi potensi yang dimiliki mahasiswa Indonesia untuk mengkaji, mengembangkan, dan menerapkan ilmu dan teknologi yang telah dipelajarinya di perkuliahan kepada masyarakat luas.
Dr Med dr Indwiani Astuti, one of the PKM reviewers from the Directorate of Student Affairs of the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, said that the PKM 5 Fields participating students who attended the Monev at this time were selected students who had been funded by the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education to make scientific work proposals. Therefore, the government wants to train students to learn responsibly in implementing the scientific fields obtained in lectures and gain education and experience in using state budgets.
“Students present today are selected students, because they have successfully competed for funds for PKM from thousands of proposals submitted to the Directorate of Student Affairs of the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education. Because this PKM proposal uses the state budget, today students are asked to present their scientific work as a form of responsibility for using the state budget,” he explained.
