A total of 56 Student Creativity Program (PKM) proposals from Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) have successfully secured funding from the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia.
The distribution of the 56 funded proposals across eight categories by faculty shows that the largest contribution comes from the Faculty of Engineering (FT UGM), with 13 proposals, followed by 8 proposals from the Vocational College (SV UGM) and 7 from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA UGM).
The remaining proposals come from various other faculties at UGM, all of which actively support and encourage student participation in this program.
“Congratulations to all the selected teams, this is certainly a proud achievement. However, it’s important to remember that this is only the beginning of the journey. We must continue providing support and preparing strategies to move forward, with the hope that many of them will reach the PIMNAS stage and bring pride to UGM,” said Dr. Hempri Suyatna, Secretary of the UGM Directorate of Student Affairs, on Wednesday, Jul. 9, 2025.
