BANDUNG, itb.ac.id – On Tuesday (20/12/2022), ITB (Institut Teknologi Bandung) LPPM (Institute for Research and Community Services) held this year’s ITB PRIMA. The event took place in the Multipurpose Hall of ITB CRCS. It was also streamed online.

The 2022 ITB PRIMA (Virtual Exhibition of Research, Innovation and Community Service) presents more than 700 posters showcasing multitudes of research and community service from 12 faculties/schools, 37 research centers and 4 institutions in ITB. With the theme “Nurturing Research Collaboration for Excellence”, PRIMA’s talkshow invited several speakers as the following: Prof. Heni Rachmawati, Prof. Dr. Satria Bijaksana, Dr. Ika Magdalena, M.Si., Aditya G. Saputro, Ph.D., and Prawira F. Belgiawan, Ph.D.

The second talkshow titled "Collaboration for Impact" presented Arif Sasongko, Ph.D., Prof. Bambang Riyanto, Prof. Dr. Elfahmi, Dr. R. Bagus Endar Bachtiar as speakers. Moreover, the event welcomes the launching of the Desanesha application, led by the ITB Rector Prof. Reini Wirahadikusuma.

“Through the posters posted on the event’s website, a larger audience can be reached and expand the impact of all ITB’s contributions,” Prof. Reini remarked. Aside from the virtual exhibition, the talkshows that focus on ITB’s research and innovation are equally important in promoting the institute’s contributions.

ITB houses 1,470 lecturers, in which 1,168- approximately 75% of the total lecturers- have produced reputable publications. This is influenced by the increasingly large allocation of funds for P3MI programs from ITB itself.

Prof. Reini suggested that studies conducted in ITB could be carried out across many disciplines. Therefore, lecturers are expected to be open to collaboration between campuses. Besides strengthening the culture of research excellence, ITB has the duty to publicize its activities to the public, including the ongoing collaboration it has.

"There have been numerous innovations at ITB, in the form of prototypes or in other phases. As part of the top ten universities with the highest number of patents, ITB continues to strive further, with 190 fostered startups and many community services spread across the country,” she added.
