Strengthening the Indonesian Sovereignty program in Reka Cipta (Kedaireka), the University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) held socialization and technical guidance preparation for Kedaireka proposals. Inviting two staff of the Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia (Ditjen Dikti), this event took place through the Zoom channel on Friday (12/03).
Head of the administrative sub-division of the Directorate General of Higher Education, Didi Rustam, said there are eight key performance indicators that the Directorate General of Higher Education will assess to finance proposals from universities.
"The eight indicators are already in the guidebook. However, outside of these indicators, we also add several other criteria such as student participation in the proposed program, the program structured to solve problems in the community. Then the last one is industry participation in the program, "said Didi.

Meanwhile, the coordinator of the Directorate General of Higher Education's creative acceleration work team, Achmad Adhitya, said that there were several changes related to submitting proposals to Kedaireka. This change was made to shorten the flow of the bureaucracy. So that proposals can be immediately submitted to the Kedaireka system.
"Previously, if you wanted to submit a proposal to Kedaireka, higher education institutions had to complete several requirements such as an MoU with industry, a validation sheet from the campus, proof of industrial contribution, and several other requirements. But now, to submit a proposal, you only need to include an identity sheet, a statement letter that you do not undertake further study, the profile of the proposer, and the profile of the partner. After the proposal is accepted and will be fund, the proposer will complete the other requirements, ”said Adhitya.

On the other hand, the Directorate of Research and Community Service (DPPM) UMM, Prof. Dr. Yus Mochamad Cholily, M.Si, explained that the implementation of this socialization was a follow-up to the previous socialization.
"Previously, the socialization was held for campuses in Malang Raya. Now, the socialization is specifically for UMM lecturers. I hope that besides understanding more about Kedaireka's system, in the future, there will be research results from lecturers that can be written down, "he concluded. (syi/wil)
