The virtual event, organized by the National Achievement Center (Puspresnas) of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, was held on September 10, 2020.
\nIn the competition, ITB won 5 gold medals, 3 silver medals, and 3 bronze medals, in 4 scientific categories: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. As a result, ITB was placed 1st for the 2020 KN-MIPA medal.
\n
\nThe medal winners are namely Hudzaifah Alif Al Fatih Nasution, Muhamad Farhan Husain, Muhamad Morteza Mudrick, Ricky Linarto, I Putu Prakasa Wiprayoga, Alfred Patisenah, Muhamad Alif Aqsha, Akeyla Pradia Naufal, Bakuh Danang Setyo Budi, Ridwan Rizki Surgawan, and Stefanus.
\n
\nOne of the ITB students who won the KN-MIPA 2020 gold medal in Mathematics, Muhamad Alif Aqsha, said that the scoring criteria for the Mathematics competition was that each question was given a score of 0 to 10. A score of 10 was possible if all of the questions were answered correctly. Alif was one of the students who achieved the second highest score, enabling him to take the gold medal home.
\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>\"This competition tests participants on the topics of real analysis, complex analysis, linear algebra, algebraic structures, and combinatorics with the problems that are arguably not routine problems such as those in lectures. Even in this competition, I tried to solve each of the math problems in each of these topics. There were 5 questions that were done in 4 hours,\u201d explained Alif.
\n
\nHe admitted that even though he competed in the midst of a pandemic and the competition was conducted virtually, it did not reduce his enthusiasm to compete because for him, the thing that is no less important than this pandemic is how he can remain productive, even from home.
\n
\nDue to this impressive achievement, Director of the Directorate of Student Affairs (Ditmawa) ITB. Dr. G. Prasetyo Adhitama S.Sn., M.Sn. expressed his gratitude for the achievements of ITB students this year. He also expressed his gratitude to all participants, especially students and supervisors who worked hard to prepare for their participation in KN-MIPA 2020.
\n
\nAccording to Dr. G. Prasetyo, this achievement is proof that students fully understand the importance of the learning process which includes curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular activities. \"This certainly makes all of us immensely proud. Hopefully this achievement can inspire and motivate other ITB students to achieve more. Moreover, this kind of competition is an important part of competency development, \"said Prasetyo.

One of the causes of this natural hazard is the reduction of water catchment areas due to the use of water-resistant materials in construction processes. These materials prevent rainwater from being absorbed into soil, resulting in runoff and flooding.
\n
\nIn an effort to solve this problem, a 2013 ITB Physics Engineering alumna, Anisa Azizah, together with her team and under the guidance of Prof. Bambang Sunendar, Ph.D., succeeded in creating porous paving blocks that can absorb water. The paving blocks developed can be penetrated by water as much as 1000 mm\/ day and retain high strength through the help of chemicals. These paving blocks have a strength which ranges from K-200 to K-350, or equivalent to class B or A paving blocks.
\n
\nSeeing the potential benefits of these products, Anisa and her team successfully commercialized the initially exclusive laboratory product through a startup called Tech Prom Lab with the product called PoreBlok. This product is available in 10 locations in Bandung, Sumedang, and Tangerang. In addition, it can be used for housing, dwellings, and school yards. In the process of manufacturing its products, Tech Prom Lab also collaborates with local paving block manufacturers through transfer of technology to several factories in Tasikmalaya and Tangerang. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>In regard to the funding process, Tech Prom Lab has successfully received a grant from a Japanese company, Leave a Nest, and the local government of Ota-City in Tokyo, which then collaborated with a local company, Seki Ironworks, in the design and manufacture of a gravel solter for the PoreBlock production process. This gravel solter machine is semi-automatic and can filter aggregates into 4 sizes, which can be used in the manufacture of PoreBlock and other building material products.
\n
\nThe machine created from this collaboration has been successfully developed and was exhibited at the 9th Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference 2020 in Tokyo, Japan, which thereafter was sent to Tasikmalaya, Indonesia, on September 11, 2020. \"This aggregate filtering machine is expected to improve the quality and quantity of PoreBlock production because so far the filtering has been done manually, so it takes a long time to get the required sizes,\" added Anisa.
\n
\nThe Tech Prom Lab has had many achievements since its inception. Among them are being the Grand Winner of GSI 2018, Grand Winner of Tech Planter Indonesia 2019, Grand Winner of Tech Planter World Communication 2020, and Grand Winner of Tech Planter Southeast Asia. It has also participated in the UNDP X 500 Startups Impact Aim Project.
\n
\nDespite their many achievements, Anisa and her team are certainly not free of problems and challenges in developing the Tech Prom Lab. In addition to common problems such as team development, operation management, funding, and the team\u2019s different backgrounds, Anisa said that lack of experience was also an obstacle in developing this product. \u201cThe founders of the Tech Prom Lab are fresh graduates from ITB, both with undergraduate and postgraduate degrees and do not have experience or connections in the construction industry, so it is harder for us to enter this ecosystem,\u201d said Anisa.
\n
\nEven with the many challenges and obstacles, Anisa and her comrades have succeeded in developing innovative products that are useful and not harmful to the environment. When met by Reporter ITB , Anisa testified the importance of collaboration from the idea stage to the implementation. \u201cWe believe that our goal to help solve the flooding problem cannot be done alone. We need assistance and collaboration from various parties so that our good efforts can be impactful,\u201c She stated. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slides>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-static-layers>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n
\nThe award ceremony was also attended by the Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, who\u00a0said that\u00a0the\u00a0activity was aimed at appreciating extraordinary people in terms of marketing as well as being an inspiration for others. \"One of our goals is to appreciate extraordinary people in order to inspire, because this marketing skill is very much needed,\" he said.\u00a0
\n
\nProf. Dr. Ir.\u00a0Utomo\u00a0Sarjono\u00a0Putro, M.Eng.\u00a0added\u00a0that this award could motivate SBM-ITB to continue to improve the main tasks of the\u00a0university three main activities\u00a0(Tri Dharma\u00a0Perguruan\u00a0Tinggi)\u00a0by\u00a0enhancing\u00a0internal and external marketing.\u00a0
\n
\nIn supporting internal and external marketing,\u00a0SBM-ITB has\u00a0implemented\u00a0\u00a0many programs that\u00a0aim to improve the quality of SBM-ITB,\u00a0both from\u00a0the\u00a0inside and\u00a0from the\u00a0outside,\u00a0so that it provides\u00a0quality\u00a0services\u00a0to\u00a0students and has an impact on the surrounding environment. Some of these programs include implementing the Quality Assurance function, optimizing the functions of Public Relations, and actively participating in maximizing the digital platform.\u00a0
\n
\nThe implementation of the Quality Assurance function aims to provide maximum service. The Quality Assurance process involves students\u00a0who\u00a0give\u00a0feedback\u00a0about the services provided by SBM\u00a0to improve the\u00a0teaching and learning processes.\u00a0
\n
\n\"Besides doing quality assurance of learning, we also provide career services, improve the quality of lecturers,\u00a0and\u00a0improve learning facilities,\u00a0among others,\" added\u00a0Utomo.\u00a0
\n
\nIn addition, SBM-ITB seeks to optimize the role of public relations and establish relationships with various stakeholders such as alumni,\u00a0industries, and the media. Not only that, SBM-ITB,\u00a0in optimizing its external marketing,\u00a0also implements effective marketing communications by utilizing digital platforms such as social media and\u00a0by\u00a0actively sharing inspiring content such as podcasts on YouTube and SBM-ITB's\u00a0Spotify.\u00a0
\n
\nFinally,\u00a0Utomo\u00a0Sarjono\u00a0Putro\u00a0hopes that this award\u00a0will lead to an\u00a0increase\u00a0in\u00a0the role of higher education in providing a positive impact on the government, companies and society. \"Hopefully the\u00a0award of\u00a0West Java 2020 Industry Marketing Champion for the educations service sector will increase the importance of higher education institutions with superior services so that they can have an impact on the government, companies and society,\" he said.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slides>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-static-layers>\n\t\t\t\t\t

I am happy that today we are updating the\u00a0Memorandum\u00a0of\u00a0Understanding, the implementation of which has been seen from the many ITB lecturers who are conducting postgraduate studies at UTM,\u201d\u00a0said Prof. Wahid Omar.\u00a0
\n
\nIn its implementation, collaboration between ITB and UTM can be developed through programs such as curriculum development\u00a0and\u00a0joint research and development, giving priority to each university to continue postgraduate studies, and lecturer\/student exchange activities such as study tours, joint projects, and various kinds of seminars.\u00a0
\n
\nITB Rector\u00a0Prof.\u00a0Reini\u00a0said that ITB and UTM have the same scope of knowledge in the engineering field.\u00a0Reini\u00a0admits that UTM is doing better in the international field, because UTM has 4,000 foreign students.\u00a0
\n
\n\"ITB has less capacity for international students, because ITB is a destination for local students\u00a0who\u00a0always get the highest scores. But we\u00a0also\u00a0believe we\u00a0should\u00a0increase the diversity of students from abroad to enrich the academic atmosphere. So,\u00a0we\u00a0would\u00a0be very happy to\u00a0set up\u00a0student exchanges from UTM\", explained Prof.\u00a0Reini.\u00a0
\n
\nDr.rer.nat.\u00a0Rino\u00a0Rakhmata\u00a0Mukti added that in the future, cooperation\u00a0could\u00a0be\u00a0achieved\u00a0by conducting joint KKN, and also collaboration in the research field with 34\u00a0research\u00a0centers\u00a0at ITB.\u00a0

The agreement was implemented at the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN), which was held in New York in September 2015. Indonesia was one of the 193 countries present and agreed with the document containing 17 goals and 169 targets for sustainable development. The title of the document agreed upon at that time was Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, better known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
\n
\nSDGs are essentially a continuation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), in effect from 2000 to 2015. In general, the SDGs provide development goals, targets, and indicators in so that they have become a benchmark for every country to carry out sustainable development, namely by balancing the economic, social, and environmental aspects. The document is valid for a period of fifteen years, from 2015-2030, which means that there are still ten years left for the SDGs to be achieved. The SDGs not only emphasize the roles of developed countries, but also those of developing and less developed countries. All countries have the same obligation to carry out responsible and sustainable development in accordance with the agreed documents.
\n
\nITB as one of the higher education institutions in Indonesia, recognized the fact that Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are not only the government's obligation but the obligation of all parties, including universities. With this awareness, in January 2019 the ITB SDGs Network was formed and was inaugurated by the Minister of National Development Planning (PPN) \/ Bappenas.
\n
\nOn Wednesday, August 12, 2020, the ITB SDGs Network held the first Webinar Series via Zoom and live streaming on the STKSR-Symphosis 2020 Organizer Committee YouTube channel. The ITB SDGs Network presented five speakers: the Head of SDGs Network ITB Dr. Tirto Prakoso, M.Eng.; ITB Regional and Rural Planning Research Group Lecturer Teti Armiati Argo, MES; Ph.D., Lecturer at Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Science Research Group ITB Dr. Eng. Anjar Dimara Sakti, M.Sc.; Head of SDGs National Secretariat Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti, MSi, M.Eng, Ph.D.; and President Director of Clean Power Indonesia, Jaya Wahono. The event was moderated by the Secretary General of the International Society of Sustainability Professionals (ISSP) Indonesia Maria Dian Nurani, ST, MSi, and was opened by Dr. Tirto Prakoso, M.Eng. followed by the singing of the national anthem \"Indonesia Raya\".
\n
\nThe ITB SDGs Network
\n
\nHead of the ITB SDGs Network, Dr. Tirto Prakoso, M.Eng., stated that the basic rationale for the importance of the SDGs Network in ITB is because ITB is a higher education institution that is said to have a mastery of engineering sciences, therefore, it plays a significant role in the achievement of SDGs. In addition, so far there has been no SDGs center in Indonesia that has innovative technology products that can also be implemented. Most of the products of the existing SDGs centers fall within the scope of policy and community planning.
\n
\n\"With the establishment of this center, ITB hopes to help accelerate the achievement of SDGs in Indonesia, especially in terms of innovation and technology implementation. Based on Times Higher Education data in 2019, ITB has the potential to become a reference center for Indonesia and the world by focusing on ITB's potential in the field of innovation and climate change,\" he said.
\n
\nOn this occasion, Tirto also said that the ITB SDGs Network itself emphasizes seven goals of SDGs, namely SDG 2, SDG 4, SDG 6, SDG 7, SDG 9, SDG 11, and SDG 17. There are many different activities carried out by the ITB SDGs Network itself. The Network acts as a facilitator for the latest ideas from alumni and ITB academicians so that these ideas can be implemented with the SDGs scheme in Indonesia. The Network also helps ITB academics fund the implementation of research results with the theme of green technology in Indonesia, provide collaboration space between stakeholders, and verify technology that has been implemented abroad to suit the conditions in Indonesia, and many more.
\n
\nPrerequisites for Achieving the SDGs
\n
\nVice Rector for Finance, Planning, and Development Ir. Muhamad Abduh, MT., Ph.D., also delivered his speech. He stated that a lot of people have heard of the term SDGs, but maybe they do not fully comprehend the term , making it something to be brushed off easily. \"This is maybe [what] we have to keep in mind, what SDGs mean and how far we have reached (the goals),\" said Abduh.
\n
\nAccording to Ir. Abduh, \u2018SDGs\u2019 is a significant term and requires a lot of time, so it requires collaboration between various stakeholders to achieve it. The SDGs ITB is focusing on must be related to the relevance of ITB with the SDGs itself. Abduh emphasized that in order to achieve the SDGs there are three prerequisites that must be met. The three prerequisites are technology, innovation, and a value system.
\n
\nTechnology is a tool that can be used to accelerate the achievement of the SDGs. ITB has an advantage in this field because ITB can play a role from the technological side to achieve the SDGs. In addition to technology, achieving SDGs also requires institutions engaged in the SDGs, who can collaborate and synchronize. In addition, there must be a value system in which the community must view sustainable life as a value that must be understood, comprehend, and applied in everyday life. One simple example is the habit of always throwing trash in a trash can, no matter how small the rubbish is. This value system should be introduced at a young age so that the values of a sustainable life are strongly embedded in each individual. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slides>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-static-layers>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The three-year MoU was signed by the Rector of ITB, Prof. Reini Wirahadikusumah, Ph.D., and the Director General of the Museum, Prof. Masaru Nishitani, separately on 18 August 2020.
\n
\nThis collaboration aims to build a relationship between the two institutions and open up various opportunities for ITB academicians. The forms of cooperation include: research exchange for students, faculty members, and staff; research collaborations, conferences, workshops, and publications in the realm of digital humanities, databases, and the application of digital data in educational practice; participation in seminars and academic meetings; development of a digital museum for modern and traditional Indonesian artifacts; and exchange of information and scientific publications.
\n
\nThe museum, known as Rekihaku, houses 200,000 important artifacts related to Japanese history and cultural values. Located in Sakura, Chiba, Japan, the museum was founded in 1981 as an inter-university research consortium and was opened in 1983. The museum's collection focuses on the history, archaeology, and folk culture of Japan.

\n
\nHead of the Design Ethnography Laboratory and the Human and Industrial Product Research Group, Meirina Triharini, Ph.D., said that the main objective of this collaboration was to develop a new scope related to digital humanities through the creation of a database of cultural artifacts, including three-dimensional digital data as well as an online platform for data dissemination.
\n
\n\"Furthermore, the development of digital data is projected to be used for educational purposes, such as design studies. It is also hoped that the public can gain open access to data on cultural artifacts,\" he said. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-layer>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slide>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-slides>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/rs-static-layers>\n\t\t\t\t\t
