    Held in the Rector’s Room on the 15th floor of the UNIKOM Smart Building, the meeting served as a momentum to strengthen the synergy between technology-based higher education institutions and the national media industry. Several strategic points were discussed, including strengthening UNIKOM as a strategic partner of Pikiran Rakyat, developing a robotics-based campus, UNIKOM’s achievements as a pioneer of champion campuses, and its latest achievements in the field of digital ICT, which surpassed participants from Korea and Japan. 

    On this occasion, Prof. Eddy said that UNIKOM is developing an artificial intelligence (AI)-based curriculum as part of its academic transformation to address future industry challenges. He was also appreciated for his new mandate as Chairman of APTISI West Java for the 2025-2030 period, which is expected to strengthen collaboration and competitiveness among private universities in West Java. 

    In an interview, Dr. Ir. Yuni Mogot, M.Si., CPR., emphasized that institutional relations with the media play an important role and need to be continuously maintained. “Partnerships with the media are not limited to publications but also include strategies for building institutional reputation and expanding the reach of information to the public,” she said. 

    Furthermore, Dr. Yuni also hopes that future cooperation can be expanded in various fields. One of them is the upcoming anniversary event of Pikiran Rakyat on April 24, 2026, which is planned to feature Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono as a speaker, with the opportunity for collaboration in organizing a public lecture at UNIKOM. In addition, the scientific writing training collaboration for lecturers that was previously implemented is considered important to be revived, to encourage academic research results to be more easily understood and accessed by the wider community through the mass media.

During the meeting, the two parties discussed various forms of collaboration that could be implemented in the future. He hoped that the good relationship between Pikiran Rakyat as a media company and UNIKOM as an educational institution could make a positive contribution to the development of West Java. 

    Regarding the upcoming agenda, Mr. Gatot revealed that there are various educational products, research results, and innovations from UNIKOM that have the potential to be published more widely through the Pikiran Rakyat media network. He highlighted UNIKOM’s excellence in the field of robotics as one of its distinctive strengths that should be introduced to the public. Through this collaboration, it is hoped that the quality and benefits of UNIKOM’s products and research results will become more widely known and accepted and have a broader impact on the public. 

    The visit from Pikiran Rakyat to UNIKOM reaffirms the shared commitment to building a productive, collaborative, and sustainable partnership between education and media. This synergy is expected to strengthen knowledge dissemination, improve public literacy, and accelerate the digital transformation of higher education in Indonesia, particularly in West Java.

    Unikom Makes it onto The British Council’s Global Priority Campus List Ready to Partner with 23 Top Universities in the UK 

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM — Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) has once again reinforced its international standing after being selected as one of the Indonesian universities included in the priority list for collaborative partnerships with leading universities in the United Kingdom. The institution represents one of West Java’s prominent private universities joining 23 other Indonesian universities in a global collaboration scheme initiated by the British Council.

    The announcement was delivered by Indonesia’s Vice Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, Stella Christie, following a directive from President Prabowo Subianto to strengthen international higher education partnerships, particularly by bringing top UK universities members of the Russell Group to collaborate with Indonesian institutions. This strategic agenda was further advanced during the visit of Sir Steve Smith and a delegation of UK universities to Jakarta on 4–5 February 2026.

    This collaboration is a concrete follow-up to the Indonesian President’s directive to expand Indonesia’s academic partnerships with the world’s top universities, particularly members of the Russell Group, which is known as a consortium of leading research universities in the UK. The 23 British universities involved in this initiative have a global reputation for innovation, reputable scientific publications, and the development of leading research-based technology. The British partner universities involved in this collaboration include: Cardiff University, Durham University, King’s College London, Lancaster University, Newcastle University, Queen’s University Belfast, Royal College of Arts, Royal Holloway, University of London, University of Aberdeen, University of Birmingham, University of Bristol, University of Dundee, University of Edinburgh, University of Essex, University of Glasgow, University of Leicester, University of Liverpool, University of Nottingham, University of Sheffield, University of St Andrews, University of Warwick, University of Westminster, and University of York

    Through these partnerships, opportunities for joint research, collaborative classes, faculty and student exchanges, and the strengthening of technology-based innovation ecosystems have opened up. In addition, opportunities for doctoral (Ph.D.) studies for faculty members have expanded through the LPDP scholarship scheme and strategic partnerships with the world’s best universities, including highly reputable global institutions such as Stanford University.

    The leadership of UNIKOM Rector, Prof. 3 Prof. HC. Dr. Ir. Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto, M.T., who currently also serves as Chair of APTISI West Java, further strengthens the existence and strategic position of Private Higher Education Institutions (PTS) in West Java within the international collaboration network. This role serves as a strategic driver in encouraging PTS in West Java to become more competitive, adapt to digital transformation, and build sustainable global partnerships.

    As a pioneer of digital-based champion campuses, UNIKOM has strong relevance in this collaboration. Its strengths in digital transformation, information systems, and technological innovation form a strategic foundation for strengthening international-standard research partnerships. UNIKOM’s participation in this initiative also reaffirms the institution’s commitment to supporting the national agenda of higher education internationalization and enhancing the global competitiveness of Indonesia’s human resources.
