“This activity is expected to be a forum for inspiration, motivation for students to contribute in producing scientific work that passes funding and later can benefit the wider community,” said Muhamat Rifai as chairman of UKM Saintek. The next activity is the presentation of material guided by the moderator, Safira Rahmalia.
Dr. Jeki Wibawanti, M.Eng., M.Si as a speaker provides motivation to become active, creative and able to provide benefits through passing national funding. “Writing scientific papers to participate in competitions is one way to increase value as a student. Writing proposals must be wholeheartedly and seriously, not just to fulfill obligations in fulfilling lecturer assignments. In order to pass, there needs to be a strategy in writing proposals through current innovations and compiling carefully according to the guidelines,” he explained.
