Deputy Director of Academic, Research, Student Affairs, and Planning Vocational School (SV) UNS, Agus Dwi Priyanto, S.S, M. CALL., in his opening remark, reminded the participants that competitiveness does not appear suddenly but need to be honed and strengthened with collaboration among peers in the same field or from different fields.

“When we do something together, but not just distribute the work, insha’Allah the result will be better,” Agus Dwi Priyanto M.Call., stated on Monday (21/6/2021).

The speaker in the webinar was the Chief of Education and Student Affairs Unit and PKM Assistance Faculty of Engineering Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) Yogyakarta, Dr. Eng. Ir. Herianto, S.T., M.Eng., IPM., ASEAN Eng., who delivered material on the Strategy to Prepare Competitive PKM Proposal.

In his material, Dr. Herianto explained that a team has common internal issues that stemmed from bad collaboration. He emphasized that students form a group with good cooperation that will enable them to achieve success in the National Student Science Week (Pimnas) 2022.

“The first strategy if you prepare a proposal, please find a team who are willing to collaborate. This is vital,” Dr. Herianto emphasized.

Understanding the PKM guidelines is another key factor in preparing a proposal. Common mistakes, such as formatting and signature, will guarantee rejection. Students should also understand the tracks offered in PKM. Dr. Herianto reminded that participants pay attention to the revised fields each year and submit to the related field. This way, students are required to be innovative, fully understand, and obey the regulation.

Dr. Herianto also mentioned that informatics science students have a large opportunity to create work that solves problems in the community in the digitalization era. “This is your time, Informatics Engineering. If you could manage it well, your proposal will be excellent. It is greatly needed,” Dr. Herianto said. Humas UNS
