The Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture (MOEC) has officially launched
id, a platform to connect scientists/academics/students with industry players to ‘solve real problems’. The program focuses on collaborating in fields of food security, health, and energy. The Indonesian government provides up to IDR 250 billion (AUD 25 million) as matching funds, to support key collaboration projects between education institutions, industry and investors.
The MOEC also held a World Class Professor (WCP) event. This event aimed to encourage and improve the quality of international publications, by providing opportunities for Indonesian lecturers to collaborate and interact with world-class professors. In 2020, the WCP program supported the Merdeka Belajar Learning program, which includes improving the performance of Tri Darma Universitas and human resources competitiveness in higher education.
