Mataram, University of Mataram – The University of Mataram (Unram) conducted the first stage of the Progress Assessment for six Student Creativity Program (PKM) teams that successfully secured funding under Simbelmawa 2025. The event took place on Monday, September 22, at the Dome Building, featuring two external reviewers: Prof. Andi Dian Permana, S.Si., M.Si., Ph.D., Apt., and Putu Gede Ariastia, S.T., M.T.

The six participating teams consisted of two groups under the PKM-Karsa Cipta (PKM-KC) scheme and four groups under the PKM-Riset Eksakta (PKM-RE) scheme. Through this assessment, participants received valuable feedback from the reviewers to strengthen the quality of their presentations before advancing to the next stage.

The Head of the Academic and Student Affairs Bureau, Dwi Suswanto, S.Kom., M.M., emphasized the critical role of student commitment in ensuring the success of every stage of the PKM process.

“I urge all participants to give careful consideration to the feedback provided by the reviewers. The PKM requires rigorous attention, where even the smallest details must be treated with utmost seriousness. If minor aspects hold such importance, the major components are undeniably even more significant,” he asserted.

In closing, Dwi reminded students to consistently uphold discipline, enthusiasm, and commitment.

“Our message is to maintain discipline, preserve your motivation, and remain committed. As Unram’s representatives, we trust that you will achieve the best possible outcomes in line with our shared aspirations,” he stated.

Through this initial stage of the PKM progress assessment, Unram underscored its unwavering commitment to supporting students in achieving academic and non-academic excellence, while strengthening the university’s reputation at the national level.
