Jakarta – Faculty of Mathematics and Science Lampung University (Unila) Natural Sciences (FMIPA) continues to strengthen its role in developing national research and innovation through active participation inFocus Group Discussion (FGD) "Strengthening the Academic Collaboration and Research Network in Nuclear Technology" organized by Organization Nuclear Energy Research (ORTN) National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN)works same asInstitute of Nuclear and New Energy Technology (INET), Tsinghua University, China.

On In this activity, FMIPA Lampung University was represented by the Dean of FMIPA (Dr. Eng. Heri Satria, S.Si., M.Sc.), Deputy Dean for Student Affairs and Alumni (Dr. Junaidi, S.Sc., M.Sc.), and Head of the Masters Study Program Physics FMIPA Unila (Dr. Yanti Yulianti, S.Si., M.Si.) who was present as the Team Lampung University FMIPA Nuclear. The presence of this team is a form FMIPA Unila's commitment to expanding strategic cooperation networks in the field education, research and development of nuclear technology with research institutions national and international partners.

Development Current nuclear energy science and technology has gone wrong a strategic sector that supports national development. Utilization Nuclear technology is now not only focused on energy generation, but It has also been applied in various fields such as health, agriculture, industry, environment, food safety, advanced materials, instrumentation, to development of artificial intelligence-based technology. These conditions encourage universities to continue to increase capacity human resources, strengthening research, and building more collaboration broad.

As institutions that have a mandate in carrying out research, development, actively reviewing and implementing nuclear technology in Indonesia, ORTN BRIN expanding cooperation networks with various universities. Through forums Currently, BRIN together with INET Tsinghua University are introducing various opportunities academic and research collaboration, including China–Indonesia development Belt and Road Joint Laboratory on High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) as part of strengthening Indonesia-China cooperation in the field of technology nuclear.

FGD presenting the leadership of ORTN BRIN, representatives of INET Tsinghua University, as well delegates from various universities in Indonesia. Apart from discussing the latest developments in nuclear technology, this forum is also a place for discussion regarding collaborative research opportunities, joint laboratory development (joint laboratory), joint scientific publication (joint publication), joint supervision (joint supervision), lecturer exchange and students, as well as human resource development in the field of nuclear technology.

In In this forum, the Lampung University FMIPA Nuclear Team introduced the potential FMIPA's academic and research work, especially in the field of physics materials, instrumentation, nanotechnology, computing, energy, and characterization material. These competencies are considered to be closely related to various research needs for modern nuclear technology, especially in development functional materials, sensors, scientific instrumentation, and technological applications radiation.

Other than Expanding academic networks, FMIPA Unila's participation is also aimed at obtain information about various research funding opportunities, utilization of national standard laboratory facilities owned by BRIN, programs to increase the competency of lecturers and students, as well as opportunities for further study and joint research with international partners.

False One important moment in this activity is the signing of the cooperation document which is a symbol of BRIN and INET Tsinghua University's commitment to strengthening academic collaboration and nuclear technology research. This cooperation is expected can open wider opportunities for Indonesian higher education, including the University of Lampung, to be involved in various research programs international.

Share FMIPA Lampung University, participation in this activity is a step strategic to support improving the quality of education and research while strengthening the achievement of the university's Main Performance Indicators (IKU) high, especially in the aspects of cooperation, international publications, improvement human resource capacity, as well as downstream research results.

To In the future, FMIPA Lampung University is committed to following up on the results of the FGD through preparation of sustainable cooperation programs with ORTN BRIN and INET Tsinghua University. This form of collaboration includes research collaborative, joint laboratory development, increasing lecturer competency and students, preparing a curriculum that is relevant to technological developments nuclear, as well as the formation of a nuclear technology research group in the environment Lampung University.

Via This collaboration, FMIPA University of Lampung is optimistic that it can provide greater contribution to the development of science and technology nuclear power in Indonesia, as well as supporting the realization of a research ecosystem and innovation that is globally competitive.
