Research and Community Services Policies on SDGs at Universitas Diponegoro

Abstract

The vision of Diponegoro University is to become an excellent research university. So that many university policies lead to achieving this vision, both in developing human resources, procuring laboratory facilities and providing research funds for lecturers. With the development of sustainability issues internationally through the Sustainable Development Goals, Diponegoro University provides special policies for research and community services related to the SDGs. The policy is to encourage lecturers and students to submit research proposals with the theme of SDGs. As for community service, in the last few years the main theme of Community Service Learning (KKN) activities for students who are accompanied by lecturers is SDGs. Considering that Diponegoro University is a comprehensive university consisting of various faculties and study programs, currently most of the research is related to the 17 goals of the SDGs. Likewise, the students had no difficulty in developing SDGs-themed programs in the villages where KKN activities were held.
