Abstract

Indonesia is set the net zero emission target to be achieved by 2060. As part of that, Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP) is committed to support the achievement of the goal by implementing several strategies. First is to reduce the amount of emission generated by the university daily activities, and second is boosting the activities of mangrove conservation and biodiversity protection. As UNDIP located in the northern part of Central Java, part of 108.000 kilometers coastline region of Indonesia, UNDIP prioritizes its academic activity and research focus on coastal region environmental and ecological development which enthuse the implementation of mangrove conservation and biodiversity protection. The strategy includes the structured mangrove and biodiversity conservation action directed by the University leaders, encouraging research and community service activities focusing on coastal region development and developing environmental-related curriculum for the students. In addition, UNDIP also supports research centers and students’ communities who focus on mangrove conservation, biodiversity protection, and coastal region development. By that, there are more than 50 types of flora in UNDIP land forest with carbon stock calculation up to 6,480.20 metric tons CO2 eq. Acc

Abstract

Universitas Diponegoro, with an open forest area and planted vegetation of 30 – 40%, produced vast amounts of organic waste, especially tree litter. Piles of tree litter are everywhere if it is not properly managed. Universitas Diponegoro has taken a comprehensive approach to handling leaf and tree litter by converting it into economically valuable and beneficial products to meet the objectives of SDGs 12, which are focused on Responsible Consumption and Production. Through the Technical Implementation Unit for Occupational Safety, Health, and Environment (UPT K3L) Universitas Diponegoro has pyrolyzed tree branches to create liquid smoke and anaerobically converted leaf waste into compost. Later, the liquid smoke produced by pyrolysis and compost can achieve the consumer demand standard. In addition, from the policy approach, it is mandatory for every building to handle tree litter surrounds into compost using composting pits and composting bags. The circular economy idea has been incorporated into waste management at Universitas Diponegoro.

Abstract

As a higher education institution with a vision to become a research university, programs and activities related to research are Universitas Diponegoro main concern. Research is one of the three main pillars of higher education in Indonesia, apart from education and community service. Besides that, as a state university, its development is also influenced by central government policies. Currently, Undip is a state university with legal status and has wide autonomy. This paper explains research programs, activities and challenges that still need to be addressed in the future. To increase research capacity at Diponegoro University, there are five main programs, namely: 1. Increasing the capacity of human resources; 2. Improvement of facilities and supporting facilities; 3. Increasing the availability of research funds, 4. Collaboration and 5. Creating a conducive environment to research development at universities. Based on the application of the five programs, there has been a substantial increase in a research capacity, especially when viewed from indicators of international scientific publications, and an increase in the number of patents obtained. But there are still many challenges that need to be overcome, including the increase in the citation of published papers and the utilization of patent by industries.
