Strengthening Global Commitment Towards A World Class University, Unikom Officially Launches SDGs WEBSITE

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.

Computer Science Research in Indonesia to Create Sustainable Infrastructure for United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Authors: Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto, Brandon Nathanael Meliala, Senny Luckyardi, Bobi Kurniawan

Abstract

This study explored the role of computer science in advancing sustainable infrastructure in Indonesia, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the country grapples with rapid urbanization, environmental challenges, and disaster resilience, emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain present innovative solutions. This research examined the studies using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) from the past five years that focus on the application of computer science in sustainable infrastructure development in Indonesia. The study highlights contributions that align with the UN SDGs through a structured process of identifying, evaluating, and synthesizing relevant findings. Key findings reveal the potential of AI-powered smart grids, IoT-based environmental monitoring, and predictive analytics for disaster management. However, challenges such as infrastructure disparities, cybersecurity risks, and regulatory gaps remain significant barriers to adoption. The study emphasizes the need for more significant investment, stronger policies, and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate technology integration. By merging computer science with sustainability strategies, Indonesia can enhance infrastructure resilience, drive economic growth, and strengthen environmental protection. This research provides policy recommendations and insights for future studies, advocating a technology-driven approach to sustainable development. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

DKV Study Program of UNIKOM Holds a Final Project Seminar “Creative Talk”: Strengthening Creativity and Self-Confidence in the Algorithm Era

.BANDUNG, UNIKOM — On Saturday, January 10, 2025, the Visual Communication Design (DKV) Study Program, Faculty of Design, Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), held a seminar entitled “Creative Talk: Creativity in the Algorithmic Era and Appearing Confident” as part of briefings for students working on their final projects, thesis, and internship for the odd semester of the 2025/2026 academic year, which was attended by the Head of the DKV Study Program, DKV lecturers, DKV students who are taking Final Project and Internship, the academic community of UNIKOM, and the general public. The event was designed to address the challenges of the creative profession, which are increasingly shaped by digital technology, algorithmic systems, and the demand for strong personal communication.

The Coordinator of the DKV Final Project at UNIKOM, Deni Albar, M.Ds., stated that algorithms and social media have shaped a new lifestyle that is inseparable from students’ daily lives. However, he emphasized that creativity and self-confidence are two human qualities that cannot be replicated by machines. “We live in two worlds, the real world and the digital world. Algorithms determine distribution, but creativity and confidence are the main assets that enable us to remain empowered, influential, and relevant,” he said. Furthermore, he hoped that the Creative Discussion would become a space for sharing that would broaden the horizons of students across academic statuses in facing academic and professional challenges.

On this occasion, the Head of the DKV Study Program, Dr. Kankan Kasmana, M.Ds., representing the Dean of the Faculty of Design, expressed his gratitude to all lecturers involved in the event. He also emphasized the importance of students’ professional performance, both during their practical work and in the process of final project and thesis guidance. Dr. Kankan also encouraged students to build a positive impression, discipline, and mental preparedness as part of shaping the character of professional designers.

The event continued with the first presentation delivered by Creative Director Jamise Syari and DKV alumnus Deddy Kurniawan, M.Ds. In his presentation, Deddy explained that algorithms are not the enemy of creativity but rather a distribution system that works based on human behavior and interests, as well as the creativity of algorithms in life values.

Meanwhile, the second material was delivered by Aldi Salman, public speaking trainer and founder of the Panggung Kreator Community. In this session, Aldi emphasized that the ability to speak and perform confidently is a strategic competency, especially for DKV students who must present ideas, concepts, and visual works in various academic and professional forums, and how to develop a public speaking mindset.

The seminar closed with an interactive Q&A session, moderated by Ahmad Nurzaeni Fauzi, M.Ds., followed by an appreciation ceremony for the best participants and a group photo with all speakers and participants.

Through the Creative Discussion activity, DKV UNIKOM reaffirmed its commitment to producing graduates who are not only technically and visually excellent but also strategic, communicative, adaptable to technology, and confident in conveying ideas. The synergy between understanding algorithms and personal skills is an important foundation for designers to remain relevant and impactful in an ever-evolving digital era. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
