    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining higher education quality standards by hosting a Cross-LLDIKTI Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) Comparative Study, bridging LLDIKTI Region 4 and LLDIKTI Region 1. Previously, on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, from 15:30 to 16:30 WIB at the LLDIKTI Region 4 Office on Jalan Surapati, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by the Rector of UNIKOM, and a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was signed by the Director of Quality Assurance, alongside 18 Universities from LLDIKTI Region 1. This initiative was facilitated by LLDIKTI Region 4 regarding the Internal Quality Assurance System.

    The event continued on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, at the Multipurpose Room, 15th Floor, Smart Building UNIKOM. It was attended by stakeholders from various educational institutions, including: 1) The Rector of UNIKOM, 2) Vice Rector I of UNIKOM, 3) Vice Rector IV of UNIKOM, 4) Director of Quality Assurance UNIKOM, 5) UNIKOM Cooperation Division, 6) The Collaboration Team, as well as 4 Rectors representing the 18 Private Universities from LLDIKTI Region I, Representatives of UNIKOM’s Faculty and Study Program Quality Assurance Teams, and the Head and Coordinators of LLDIKTI handling SPMI for Region 4. The attendees aimed to learn from the best practices of the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) implemented at UNIKOM.

    On this occasion, the Rector of UNIKOM, Prof. Dr. Ir. H. Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto, M.T., delivered remarks expressing UNIKOM’s pride in sharing its experiences in SPMI implementation. He emphasized the importance of cross-institutional collaboration in improving education quality. Furthermore, Prof. Eddy explained UNIKOM’s early journey and expressed gratitude that UNIKOM has become a Superior (Unggul) university moving towards a world-class status. “In its development, Alhamdulillah, at the age of 22, UNIKOM achieved the ‘Superior’ status. While the average university achieves this at 50 years old, UNIKOM did it in 22 years, thanks to our excellent teamwork. We have solid, cohesive human resources, and it is these HR capabilities that successfully made UNIKOM Superior,” said Prof. Eddy.

    The event also featured remarks from the Vice Rector for Academic and Student Affairs, Prof. Dr. Hj.
