Faculty members present were allowed to voice their complaints during their tenure as faculty members. The Dean then responded. The most common complaint raised by young faculty members was the lack of eligibility to be the principal investigator in research grant offerings organized by the Ministry of Education and Culture and the heavy teaching workload that prevents them from focusing on research.

“There are many research proposals and collaboration offers from the Ministry of Education and Culture, but I have not met the eligibility criteria to be the principal investigator because my SINTA score is still below 300,” said Arifin, a young faculty member from the Physics Department.

“I have not met the criteria to be the principal investigator, and it’s difficult to find a senior faculty member to serve as the principal investigator due to their reluctance,” said Ertiningsih, a young faculty member from the Mathematics Department.

The Dean advised young faculty members to actively engage in discussions and invite senior faculty members to be principal investigators. Additionally, the Dean encouraged young faculty members to consult with the Dean and his team regarding their needs and to execute the formation of special teams.

The event concluded with a meal featuring typical Jogja cuisine. Through such activities, FMIPA UGM aims to enhance the productivity of faculty members to generate beneficial innovations for career advancement, universities, and society, in line with SDGs point 4 in improving the qualifications of faculty members and point 9 in meeting the needs of faculty and researcher resources in the field of science and technology.

FMIPA UGM Hosts a Sharing Session on OpendTect Software: A Forum for Discussing the Application of Technology in Science

Februari 22, 2024

The discussion between event participants and the speaker

FMIPA UGM Hosts OpendTect Software Sharing Session on Wednesday, Feb 21st 2024, at Auditorium A1.06 FMIPA UGM. The purpose of this event is to enhance effectiveness in seismic data interpretation development. The event is conducted in a blended format, both offline and online, with David Markus, Head of AI at dGB Earth of Sciences, as the speaker.

The event was opened by Prof. Drs. Roto, M.Eng, Ph.D., Vice Dean for Education, Teaching, and Student Affairs (WDPPK). In this regard, Prof. Roto expressed his hope that this event would be a space for developing IT. “The hope is that we gain knowledge in using technology for science.”

The speaker introduces the advantages of the OpendTect product

The topic discussed is the use of OpendTect Software for comprehensive interpretation and visualization of seismic data, which can be used for free and integrated with several programming languages. According to the official OpendTect account, OpendTect is an open-source and free seismic interpretation system for visualizing, analyzing, and interpreting 2D, 3D, and 4D seismic data. It is also widely used for Geo-Radar interpretation. OpendTect is released under the GNU Public License (GPLv3 or higher).

Participants come from various backgrounds such as students, companies, and researchers from government institutions. During the discussion, one of the participating students triggered a question for the speaker. “Can the software be used in a multi-user environment for a project with the OpendTect free series?” This was then answered that the question is currently under software development, so for now, only the OpendTect Pro series can be used.

The presence of this discussion serves as a learning space for both the speaker to develop their product and participants to apply technology to science. Thus, this sharing session reflects two of the SDGs goals, namely Goal 4: Quality Education with information and communication technology (ICT) skills, and Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure with the growth of human resources in the field of science and technology in universities.
