BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) has officially launched the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) website as a manifestation of the institution’s commitment to supporting the global sustainable development agenda. The launch was an important moment in the Building Global Academic Presence: Workshop on Strengthening Global Academic Identity through Digital Platforms event held on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at the Auditorium on the 17th floor of the Smart Building UNIKOM.
The vice rectors, deans, heads of study programs, and all lecturers at UNIKOM attended the event. The launch of the UNIKOM’s SDGs Website marks a strategic step for the institution in integrating sustainable development values into the Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi (Three Pillars of Higher Education), while strengthening UNIKOM’s position in the global higher education landscape.
Vice Rector IV for Digital Technology & ICT, International Programs & Center of Excellence, Prof. Zainal Arifin Hasibuan, MLS, Ph.D., explained that the launch of the SDGs website reaffirms UNIKOM’s commitment to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that have been ratified globally. He stated all fields of science have room to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs, because these goals include various indicators and sub-indicators that are relevant to education, research, and community service activities.
“On this occasion, UNIKOM will launch the SDGs website. This affirms our commitment to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that have been ratified globally. All fields of study have a contribution to make, because the SDGs cover various indicators and sub-indicators relevant to education, research, and community service activities. I need to emphasize that AI is not meant to replace the role of humans but rather to support and improve the quality of our academic performance. Human judgment remains the main foundation in the education world. All these steps are part of accelerating the achievement of UNIKOM’s grand vision of becoming a world-class university. Of course, this journey requires commitment, consistency, constructive criticism, and teamwork,” he said.
The SDGs Website is designed as a center for information, documentation, and reporting on various activities of the academic community that contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals. The platform is expected to increase transparency, expand national and international collaboration networks, and strengthen the visibility of UNIKOM’s contributions in addressing global issues.
The launch of the SDGs website is also in line with the agenda of strengthening UNIKOM’s global academic identity through the use of digital platforms. During the workshop series, participants gained an understanding of the importance of academic presence in the digital space as the main gateway to introducing institutions, strengthening reputations, and developing international cooperation.
Through this initiative, UNIKOM affirms its position as a university that is adaptive to global challenges, oriented towards sustainability, and committed to making a real contribution to national and international communities. With the synergy of the entire academic community, UNIKOM is optimistic about accelerating its steps toward becoming an excellent, innovative, and globally competitive world-class university.
