BANDUNG, UNIKOM — On Saturday, February 14, 2026, Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) held an Open Senate Session to inaugurate two professors, Prof. Dr. Lilis Puspitawati, S.E., M.Si., Ak., CA., as Professor in the field of Accounting Information Systems and Prof. Dr. Hj. Dewi Kurniasih, S.IP., M.Si., as Professor in the field of Government Sociology. Held in the Auditorium on the 17th floor of the UNIKOM Smart Building, this event was a form of respect for academic tradition at UNIKOM.
The senate open session was led and opened by the Chair of the Senate, Rector of UNIKOM and Chair of APTISI JABAR Prof. 3 Prof. H.C. Dr. Ir. Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto, M.T., followed by the reading of the Decree (SK) of the Professor of the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology (Mendiktisaintek) of the Republic of Indonesia for two UNIKOM academics by the Vice Rector I for Academic and Student Affairs, Prof. Dr. Hj. Umi Narimawati, Dra., S.E., M.Si.
On this occasion, senate members and guests watched a profile presentation of each Professor, which captured their journey, research contributions, and community service, as part of their academic journey from starting their work at UNIKOM to achieving the highest academic title of Professor. The two Professors delivered scientific speeches as the highlight of the academic agenda, reflecting the ideas, findings, and scientific contributions that they have consistently developed.
Prof. Dr. Lilis Puspitawati, S.E., M.Si., Ak., CA. presented a reflection on her academic journey to achieving the position of Professor, while emphasizing the importance of strengthening accounting information systems based on artificial intelligence technology, as outlined in her book entitled “Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Accounting,” as the foundation for transparency, accountability, and adaptive organizational governance in the era of digital transformation.
Meanwhile, Prof. Dr. Hj. Dewi Kurniasih, S.IP., M.Si., discussed her book entitled “Empowering Civil Society in the Framework of Good Governance in the Era of Digital Government.” She emphasized that digital transformation has fundamentally changed the relationship between the state, civil society, and the private sector, so that technology is no longer merely an administrative instrument, but a social structure that influences the way power and citizen participation is formed. In the Indonesian context, Prof. Dewi emphasized the importance of integrating local empowerment values with the development agenda towards Indonesia Emas 2045, through participatory planning, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and public oversight in the digital government system.
The event then continued with the presentation of the UNIKOM Professor necklace and the presentation of the award certificate by the Rector of UNIKOM, Prof. 3 Prof. HC. Dr. Ir. Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto, M.T., accompanied by Vice Rector I for Academic Affairs, Prof. Dr. Hj. Umi Narimawati, Dra., S.E., M.Si.,
Prof. 3. Prof. H.C. Dr. Ir. Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto, M.T., in his speech congratulated and wished success to the two newly inaugurated professors. “The inauguration of professors is not just an administrative ceremony, but the birth of new scientific energy for the institution. According to him, professors are symbols of academic integrity as well as drivers of research transformation so that it does not stop at publication but continues to the downstreaming of innovations that have an impact on society. In addition, Prof. Eddy also highlighted the low ratio of professors in Indonesia, which is around 3-4 percent of the total number of lecturers nationwide, far from the ideal target of 10 percent towards Indonesia Emas 2045. Therefore, the presence of new professors at UNIKOM is expected to strengthen intellectual leadership, build a collaborative research culture, and encourage the emergence of future professors.
Furthermore, Prof. Eddy stated that in the field of technology-based Information Systems and Accounting, strengthening data governance and transparency is an important foundation for the digital economy. Meanwhile, in Government Science, research-based policies and good governance are the keys to social progress. These two fields are considered to have a strategic contribution to the nation’s competitiveness.
On this occasion, the Head of LLDIKTI Region IV, Dr. Lukman, S.T., M.Hum., also delivered a speech and congratulated the two professors via video. In his message, Dr. Lukman appreciated UNIKOM for its consistency and commitment in increasing the number of professors. Dr. Lukman also mentioned that out of a total of 317 private universities in the LLDIKTI Region IV area, currently only 63 universities have active professors. In this context, UNIKOM is considered one of the institutions that shows seriousness in developing the highest academic position. With 11 active professors, UNIKOM is among the private universities with the highest number of professors in the West Java and Banten regions.
In line with this, the Chair of the Professor Association, Prof. Dr. Edi Setiadi, S.H., M.H., and the Chair of the Indonesian Full Professor Association, Prof. Dr. Puwadhi, M.Hum., who were also present in the senate, expressed their congratulations and appreciation to UNIKOM. Both emphasized that achieving the position of Professor is not an easy process, as becoming a professor, according to them, carries the strategic responsibility to continue contributing to the development of science and the progress of the nation.
The inauguration of UNIKOM professors marks an increase in UNIKOM academic strength in developing knowledge relevant to the dynamics of digital transformation and social change. With a commitment to research, innovation, and service, UNIKOM continues to strengthen its role as a technology-based university that is competitive and has an impact on sustainable development.
