  • UNIKOM International Relations Students Win First Place In Asean Future Innovators Challenge 2025 At The University Of Malaya

    UNIKOM International Relations Students Win First Place In Asean Future Innovators Challenge 2025 At The University Of Malaya

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – The ASEAN Future Innovators Challenge is part of the ASEAN Student Mobility Program held in the framework of the ASEAN Universities Exhibition and Forum 2025 (AEF 2025). This program aims to encourage innovation, leadership, and collaboration among ASEAN students in overcoming regional challenges and supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In the ASEAN Future Innovators Challenge, students work together to develop creative solutions to real issues faced by ASEAN countries. The activity involves innovative project development workshops, cultural exchanges, visits to local universities, and group discussions guided by experts from the host universities, one of them is the Universiti of Malaya.

    A remarkable achievement has been made by students of the International Relations Study Program (IHI), Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), one of whom was Dinda Amalia Putri [1], a third-semester student of class 2023 who had the opportunity to attend AEF 2025 in Malaysia as a participant in the ASEAN Future Innovators Challenge competition related to SDGs, which was held from 19 to 23 February 2025. Dinda [MOU2], one of the participants from Indonesia who represented UNIKOM along with other teams from Malikussaleh University, Universiti Utara Malaysia, Kalinga State University Philippines, and Yala Rajabhat University Thailand, won first place in this prestigious competition. They presented the ASEAN Agro App innovation, an application that focuses on monitoring and managing the health of livestock affected by climate change (Climate Action), in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13.

    This success was not achieved easily. The biggest challenge faced by Dinda and her team was the different study backgrounds that made unifying ideas a challenge. Different perspectives had become an obstacle in developing a solid innovation concept. However, through good communication, open discussion, and understanding of each member’s expertise, the team was finally able to harmonize ideas and create innovative solutions.

    “Alhamdulillah, I am very grateful to be able to participate in AEF 2025 in Malaysia as a participant in the ASEAN Future Innovators Challenge competition. Even more grateful, my team and I won first place with the ASEAN Agro App innovation. This is a valuable experience for me and provides many lessons for the future,” said Dinda.

    On this occasion, the Dean of FISIP UNIKOM, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hj Dewi Kurniasih, S.IP., M.Si., expressed her gratitude and pride for this achievement, “As the Dean of FISIP UNIKOM, I am very proud to have International Relations Study Program students who excel in the 1st winner ASEAN Future Innovators Challenge competition at Universiti Malaya. Hopefully this international achievement can be one of the supporting forces for the HI study program to excel and support UNIKOM’s ranking in the World Class University,” she said.

    Supervising lecturer and the Head of the Study Program, Dr. Dewi Triwahyuni, S.IP., M.Si., also expressed her opinion regarding the achievements of Dinda and the team: “We are very proud of the achievements made by HI Study Program student Amelia Dinda Putri C as 1st Place in the ASEAN Future Innovators Challenge at Universiti Malaya 2025. This achievement shows a significant increase in the quality of HI UNIKOM study program students who dare to pit ideas with students from well-known campuses in ASEAN countries. Hopefully the experience and achievements made by Amelia Dinda Putri C can increase the confidence of other students to compete at the international level. On behalf of the study program, we would also like to express our gratitude for the university’s support that helped us achieve this.

    This competition is part of the ASEAN Universities Exhibition and Forum 2025, which aims to encourage innovation and collaboration between ASEAN students in facing regional and global challenges. With this victory, Dinda and her team have proven that collaboration across disciplines can produce real solutions that have an impact on environmental sustainability and food security in ASEAN.

  • UNIKOM Taekwondo Accomplishes Outsanding Achievement with 6 Medals at the 2025 National Championship 

    UNIKOM Taekwondo Accomplishes Outsanding Achievement with 6 Medals at the 2025 National Championship 

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – The Student Activity Unit (UKM) Taekwondo of Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) again made brilliant achievements at the 3rd Victory National Open Taekwondo Championship 2025. The taekwondo team managed to make history by bringing home six medals in one championship, making it the best achievement of UNIKOM Taekwondo UKM. 

    This national championship was organized with official rules from World Taekwondo, covering two main categories: poomsae and kyorugi. In the poomsae category, participants are tested in performing a series of standard movements that emphasize technique, form, and aesthetics. Meanwhile, kyorugi is a sparring match that requires speed, accuracy, and strategies to defeat opponents in a strict point system. With the participation of athletes from all over Indonesia, this championship is a prestigious event that tests the discipline and skills of each participant.

    Taekwondo coach, Satria Indra Praja Persada, S.Ds., M.M., expressed his pride for this extraordinary achievement. “Obviously I am happy and proud of UKM Taekwondo because it can continue to excel in winning various championships that make UNIKOM proud. Keep up the spirit, fighting!” he said enthusiastically.

    This achievement was not achieved instantly. The athletes undergo an intensive training process, which is divided into three stages. First, the athlete class, which was held once a week for two months before the championship. Second, regular training at B3 UNIKOM, which took place every week for three months since athlete selection. Finally, independent training is carried out in various public facilities such as Gasibu and GOR Saparua. With discipline and hard work, the athletes managed to show their best performance in the competition arena.

    Einstein, as the leader of UNIKOM Taekwondo, expressed his pride for his colleagues who had fought hard. “I am happy and proud of my colleagues and the campus who have worked together and helped us in achieving these achievements. By breaking the record of six medals in one championship, this is the first in the history of UNIKOM Taekwondo. This is not the end, but the beginning. Our next target is to bring UNIKOM’s name to the international level,” he said.

    The success of UNIKOM Taekwondo UKM in this championship cannot be separated from the contribution of talented athletes who fought hard in the competition, including: 1) Mohammad Fauzi Einstein from the Informatics Engineering Study Program 2023, 2) Bilal Malik Firdaus from the Japanese Literature Study Program 2023. 3) Ilham Bayu Samudra from the Informatics Engineering 2024. 

    This achievement is certainly a great motivation for UNIKOM Taekwondo to continue to develop and compete at a higher level. With a fighting spirit that never dies, they are ready to look at the next competition and bring UNIKOM to the international stage.
