Despite differences in working styles and individual characteristics, we must remain united as one team and uphold a shared vision in developing FEB,” the Dean stated.

Prof. Bhimo further emphasized the importance of togetherness, solidarity, and collaboration within the organization. According to him, the unity of the entire FEB community, including both lecturers and Academic Support Staff, is a key of the faculty’s sustained performance.

Meanwhile, the Vice Dean for Non-Academic Affairs, Sutaryo, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., Ak., CA., CRA., CRP., ACPA, conveyed that the Dean Office remains open to evaluations and feedback from Academic Support Staff regarding faculty management over the past one year and three months. He noted that staff rotation, reassignment, and human resource development are the elements of a healthy organizational mechanism and are not based on subjective considerations. In his address, the Vice Dean also highlighted the importance of enhancing the competencies of Academic Support Staff at both national and international levels as strategic support for FEB UNS’s target of achieving AACSB international accreditation. Certification programs, including those from the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP) and international Microsoft certifications, continue to be prioritized as part of human resource development initiatives in 2026.

“International accreditation is not a simple undertaking and cannot be achieved without the contribution of Academic Support Staff and students. Therefore, improving staff competency is a shared necessity,” he asserted.

He also highlighted that FEB UNS is a “shared home” whose reputation and sustainability must be collectively safeguarded by fostering a common intention to grow and improve together. On the same occasion, the Vice Dean for Student and Alumni Affairs, Tastaftiyan Risfandy, S.E., M.Sc., Ph.D., expressed appreciation to the Academic Support Staff for their active support in student services and the management of student affairs.

The activity also provided an open forum for dialogue between the faculty leadership and Academic Support Staff. During the discussion session, several staff members conveyed their aspirations and sought guidance regarding the implementation of their duties. As part of the event, a ceremonial presentation of a token of appreciation was given to Christina Yulia Puspita Dewanti, S.IP., who has been assigned a new role at the UNS Vocational School. Meanwhile, the position of FEB UNS treasurer is now held by Y. Hastuti, S.M.

Through this activity, FEB UNS reaffirmed its commitment to building professional, inclusive, and sustainable faculty governance by positioning strong synergy between leadership and Academic Support Staff as the primary foundation toward an excellent and globally competitive faculty.

This activity supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 16 (Strong Institutions), through the strengthening of human resource competencies, professional work culture, and sustainable organizational governance at FEB UNS.

Attended by FEB UNS academic staff, the activity aimed to align P4M programs and activities with the UNS 2026 Performance Agreement, reaffirming research policies and standards—particularly those related to ethical clearance—build a collaborative, integrity-based, and sustainable research ecosystem, and disseminate information on research development opportunities and capacity building for lecturers.

In line with the UNS Performance Agreement for 2026, Dila Maghrifani, S.E., B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D., Chair of P4M, explained that the policy direction and strategic priorities of P4M UNS for 2026 focus on four main targets: increasing internationally reputable publications, particularly Q1 journals; strengthening international research collaboration; contributing meaningfully to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDGs 1, 4, and 17; and developing lecturers’ competencies and capacities through upskilling and upgrading programs.

Moreover, P4M UNS introduced a new Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that specifically targets scientific publications with themes related to Javanese culture, reflecting UNS’s commitment to preserving local cultural values through academic work.

In reviewing achievements from the previous year, Dila Maghrifani noted that the quality of FEB UNS lecturers’ publications in 2025 showed a positive trend at the Q1 and Q2 levels. Nevertheless, publication output declined in terms of quantity. Accordingly, lecturers were encouraged to strengthen collaborative research across Research Groups (RGs) and disciplines, pursue larger-scale research grants, and update their research roadmaps to ensure alignment with strategic issues and SDG targets.

Research ethics and integrity constituted a key focus of the dissemination, where she stressed that Ethical Clearance (EC) is a mandatory requirement for all research involving human subjects, the use of personal or sensitive data, as well as social, behavioral, and experimental studies. Research without valid Ethical Clearance cannot be processed further, particularly for publication in internationally reputable journals.

She also clarifies that P4M does not have the authority to issue Ethical Clearance. Lecturers are therefore directed to submit EC applications through the UNS Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) Ethics Committee for social and humanities research, or through the UNS Faculty of Medicine Ethics Committee for non-social sciences, health-related, and experimental research. In this context, P4M plays a role in policy dissemination, administrative assistance, and encouraging compliance with research ethics.

On the same occasion, P4M also disseminated three new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) issued by LPPM UNS—SOP 001, SOP 002, and SOP 003—concerning the prevention of lecturers’ academic integrity violations. These SOPs comprehensively regulate mechanisms for preventing and reporting misconduct in scholarly outputs, establishment of a transparent and accountable reporting systems for alleged violations, as well as procedures for examination and determination of violation levels with proportionate sanctions.

Through this activity, FEB UNS reaffirmed its commitment to building a collaborative, integrity-based, and sustainable research ecosystem, while strengthening the institution’s contribution to the advancement of knowledge, community engagement, and academic reputation at both national and international levels.

The Vice Dean for Academic and Research Affairs FEB UNS, Prof. Tri Mulyaningsih, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., opens the workshop by expressing her appreciation and gratitude to all Academic Support Staff in the Academic Affairs division for their responsibility, dedication, and collaboration throughout 2025.

“On behalf of the academic affairs division, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all Academic Support Staff in the First Division (Academic Affairs), including academic service officers, operators, academic administration staff, Subdivision Heads, as well as the Head of the Administrative Office. Thank you for the constructive collaboration that has been established thus far, and hopefully our synergy will continue to improve in the future,” she states.

On this occasion, Prof. Tri also invites Academic Support Staff to convey the constraints and challenges encountered in carrying out their respective duties, particularly over the past one to two years during her term as Vice Dean for Academic and Research Affairs.

The workshop is designed as an open and constructive dialogue. All attending Academic Support Staff are provided with adequate opportunities to share challenges and provide input as material for evaluation and improvement of academic services.

FEB UNS reaffirms its commitment to begin implementing an integrated Monitoring and Evaluation of the Teaching and Learning Process (MONEV PBM) system involving the Academic Affairs division, Study Programs, and the Quality Assurance Unit (UPM), which is scheduled to be applied starting in the second term of the 2025/2026 Academic Year.

The system is expected to improve cross-unit coordination, increase the effectiveness of learning evaluation, and support data-informed decision-making based on continuous feedback. This activity aligns with the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) through the improvement of academic service quality, as well as SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) by promoting effective, transparent, and participatory governance in higher education institutions.

The Vice Dean for Academic and Research Affairs of FEB UNS, Prof. Tri Mulyaningsih, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., in her opening remarks emphasizes the importance of implementing the Learning Management System (LMS) as a key strategy to support the achievement of UNS Key Performance Indicators (IKU). Prof. Tri explains that although various terms are commonly used in digital learning practices, such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), the official use of the term LMS at FEB UNS aligns with provisions stipulated in the Rector’s Regulation.

The LMS is regarded as an integrated digital platform that not only supports the delivery of course materials but also facilitates class administration, synchronous and asynchronous communication between lecturers and students, as well as learning assessment processes. Furthermore, Prof. Tri encourages lecturers not to focus solely on meeting administrative targets in LMS utilization, but to use it as a medium for instructional innovation. According to her, effective use of the LMS can assist lecturers in creating learning processes that are more interactive, diverse, and engaging for students.

In her presentation, she also highlights the importance of lecturer creativity and an understanding of pedagogical theory in addressing learning challenges in the digital era, including distractions related to mobile phone use in the classroom. Lecturers are expected to design learning strategies that promote active student engagement to maintain focus and sustained attention to the learning materials.

The workshop also presents examples of good practices in LMS utilization, management of online courses, and opportunities for the development of digital-based learning, including the expansion of online learning through micro-credential schemes. With optimal LMS support, FEB UNS reaffirms its commitment to continuously improve the quality of the teaching and learning process in ways that respond to technological developments and student needs. Through this activity, FEB UNS expects lecturers to become increasingly prepared and competent in integrating digital technology into instruction, while contributing to the improvement of sustainable higher education quality.

This workshop aligns with the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) through the improvement of digital-based learning quality, as well as SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by encouraging the use of information technology in higher education.

The workshop featured Afina Azizah from the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas) and Slamet, Head of the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) of Central Java Province, as keynote speakers. The forum aimed to serve as a strategic discussion platform to strengthen public and regional financial management in support of inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

In his opening remarks, the Dean of FEB UNS, Prof. Bhimo Rizky Samudro, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., stated that the workshop was designed for knowledge exchange between academics and practitioner partners with extensive experience in public finance management. The discussion focused on inclusive and sustainable economic growth in the context of national development dynamics, including policy implications and disaster-related considerations from multiple perspectives, such as risk mitigation and economic equity.

Beyond technical discussions, the workshop also served as a dissemination forum for the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) program for practitioner partners, particularly from regional planning agencies such as Bappeda, who intend to pursue further study in the Master of Development Economics or Master of Accounting programs at FEB UNS. “Through active collaboration, this initiative is expected to generate dual benefits in the form of strengthened practical competence and sustained academic development opportunities for professionals,” he noted.

Afina emphasized that achieving national development targets toward Indonesia Emas 2045 requires strong synergy between central and regional governments. She highlighted that regions function as key drivers of inclusive and sustainable economic growth, making alignment of development paradigms a critical challenge.

She further explained that the government has established eight national priority programs in the 2026 Government Work Plan, including food and energy security, free nutritious meals, and the strengthening of cooperatives and investment. Alignment between central and regional levels is pursued through the synchronization of the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) and Regional Medium-Term Development Plans (RPJMD) for the 2025–2029 period, with performance indicators currently reaching 77 percent. Clear planning loci and concrete budget support were identified as essential to ensure tangible policy impacts on society.

Afina also noted a shift in the development paradigm from a focus on physical outputs to outcomes that deliver measurable benefits for public welfare. This shift calls for improved expenditure quality amid limited fiscal space and mandatory spending obligations. Consistency across planning, budgeting, and control processes must be jointly safeguarded through close coordination between Bappenas and Bappeda, as well as the Ministry of Finance and BPKAD.

Meanwhile, Slamet explained that the primary challenge in regional development lies not in planning, but in the disconnect between planning and implementation within the regional budget framework (APBD). Many strategic programs fail at the execution stage due to concerns among regional officials regarding administrative accountability, technical reporting requirements, and limited legal frameworks at the regional level.

He also highlighted that inflation control practices at the regional level remain short-term in nature and have yet to address supply-side fundamentals. Regions, he argued, should be encouraged to adopt expenditure schemes in the form of subsidies through regionally owned enterprises to enable more effective and sustained market price interventions. However, regulatory gaps between central and regional authorities often constrain innovation due to concerns over potential findings of state financial losses.

According to him, regional financial management must be supervised through to the technical stages of implementation and accountability, supported by a robust legal framework to ensure that development programs deliver concrete benefits to society.

Through this workshop, FEB UNS expects to strengthen shared understanding, collaboration, and consistency between planning and budgeting at both central and regional levels, in support of inclusive and sustainable economic development. The activity aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), through the reinforcement of policy synergy and sustainable financial governance.

Mitigation refers to measures taken to reduce or control risks and adverse impacts arising from hazardous events, including fires. In the context of fire incidents and accidents, mitigation includes preventive and response actions such as the provision of safe evacuation routes, installation of smoke detection devices, training in the use of fire extinguishers (APAR), and understanding emergency procedures.

The Vice Dean for Non-Academic Affairs FEB UNS, Sutaryo, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., Ak., CA., CRA., CRP., ACPA., stated that the activity formed part of the fulfilment of Occupational Health and Safety (K3) documentation, as well as a concrete application of risk management within the FEB UNS environment.

“This training and simulation serve as a preventive measure in anticipating potential disasters. While we do not expect such events to occur, we aim to ensure that FEB UNS is prepared in terms of human resources as well as supporting facilities and infrastructure,” he explained.

He also expressed appreciation for the strong participation and support of all attendees. According to him, creating a safe and disaster-responsive faculty environment is a shared responsibility of the entire academic community.

During the training, participants received instruction on fire prevention, basic fire suppression techniques, proper use of fire extinguishers, and emergency actions needed in the event of a fire. Instructors also explained methods of isolating fire from oxygen, including traditional techniques using burlap sacks, towels, or non-synthetic fabrics.

“If a small fire occurs, take a burlap sack, towel, or cloth nearby, soak it with water, and cover the fire. Pay attention to wind direction and position yourself opposite the fire. Once you move forward, do not hesitate or step back, as the fire may follow the movement of the cloth,” an instructor explained during the practical session.

Participants were also provided with guidance on handling household gas leaks, including avoiding switching electrical devices on or off to prevent sparks, opening doors and windows to allow air circulation, and removing the regulator before moving the gas cylinder outdoors until conditions are safe.

The instructor emphasized that maintaining calmness is the most critical response during a fire incident. “Fire accidents often escalate due to panic. The key is to remain calm, immediately contact the fire department, ensure personal and collective safety, and carry out initial fire suppression if possible using the techniques learned,” he stated.

Through this activity, FEB UNS aims to improve literacy, awareness, and a risk-conscious culture within the faculty, while strengthening the preparedness of the academic community in responding to emergency situations in support of a safe and sustainable campus environment. The activity supports the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), through enhanced safety measures and disaster preparedness within the campus environment.
