UNS — Exhilarating news came from students of Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta. Recently, UNS students won 2nd in a National Poster Competition. They are Ryan Brillian Fatsena from the Informatics and Computer Engineering Education Study Program (PTIK), Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP), and Angelaretha Kurniawan from the Statistics Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA).
The competition was organized virtually by the Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Pekalongan on 4 September 2021. Taking on the theme of ‘building a research ecosystem through the creativity and innovation of millennials,’ the team choose economy as the sub-topic for their creation.
Brillian explained that the process of building an economic research ecosystem could not be separated from millennials’ creativity and innovation. Digital platforms in Indonesia are growing because of the contribution from the millennial generation. The development of digital platforms in Indonesia had a positive impact on the economic sector.
“This idea is inferred from the digital buyer projection data that shows significant growth. Considering this growth, it would be nice to maintain the improvement or even accelerate it. Therefore, we as millennials must collaborate to be a better digital economy movement pioneers in order to achieve global advancement,” he explained on Thursday (7/10/2021).
Further, he reveals that he was happy when the team was announced as a champion and managed to outperform other participants from various universities. “We are indeed happy, because in the midst of this ongoing pandemic, we can actually contribute to the UNS achievements,” said Brillian.
The third-semester student wishes to contribute further with their future creation. “Hopefully, in the future, we can be more courageous to push our limit and can create more innovations for UNS. We do not know the limit of our capacity if we never try. So do not be afraid to try something new and try as hard as you can to achieve it.” Humas UNS
