Environmental pollution remains a major issue in the world’s environmental challenges today. This is evident from various environmental conventions such as the Stockholm Convention, Minamata Convention, etc. To address these environmental issues, research based on Chemistry needs to be developed to improve the quality of the environment in the future. On May 30, 2022, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) at UGM initiated collaboration with the Clean Technology and Environment Research Center at BRIN in Serpong.

In this collaboration initiation, several joint activities were agreed upon, including various collaborative research projects, co-supervision of students at the Ph.D., master’s, and bachelor’s levels, student internship activities, and more. Through this collaboration, it is expected that there will be knowledge sharing and the utilization of facilities to optimize various joint studies and activities conducted.

Professional certification is a formal recognition of an individual’s competence that is valid both nationally and internationally. With this recognition, individuals holding specific professional certificates will have a competitive advantage in securing employment aligned with their competencies.

In order to enhance recognition of the competencies of students and faculty members at FMIPA, especially in the field of Chemistry, a meeting was held on Thursday, May 19, 2022, to initiate collaboration between FMIPA UGM, Kamipagama, the Professional Certification Institute (LSP) Telapi, and RCChem Learning Centre in Bandung.

The planned collaboration includes the provision of training and competency assessments for professional certification for FMIPA UGM faculty and students, as well as the general public. Additionally, there will be sharing sessions in the form of seminars, lectures, workshops, etc., aimed at improving the competencies of faculty and students and advancing various competency assessment fields.

This collaboration is expected to enhance the recognition of the competencies of FMIPA UGM graduates, enabling them to compete effectively in the job market.
