Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), organized a workshop entitled \u201cAcademic Growth Lab: PhD., Writing, and Research\u201d at the Meeting Room I, Soeharno TS Building. The event was attended by the faculty leadership, Heads of Study Program, and junior lecturers within FEB UNS to discuss strategies for pursuing doctoral studies and strengthening research publications.<\/p>\n
In his opening remarks, the Dean of FEB UNS, Prof. Bhimo Rizky Samudro, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., emphasized the importance for young lecturers\u2014particularly those under 40 years of age\u2014to take strategic initiatives in pursuing doctoral (Ph.D.) studies abroad. Prof. Bhimo highlighted the concept of \u201cStudy Independence\u201d as a key element in academic career development. He encouraged lecturers to actively seek scholarships independently from various external funding institutions, both national and international.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most ideal position is when we secure both the study placement and scholarship independently. This is not merely an individual matter, but also about minimizing social or bureaucratic transaction costs, thus, upon returning to UNS after graduation, one can work with greater comfort and independence,\u201d he stated, reflecting on his personal experience.<\/p>\n
Regarding study planning, the Dean stressed the necessity of close coordination between lecturers and their respective Study Program. This coordination aims to ensure that lecturers\u2019 departure for further studies does not disrupt the stability of the teaching and learning process at the faculty.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere should not be a significant shortage of teaching staff due to lecturer\u2019s departure for further study and return schedules. Synchronization of manpower planning among the Faculty, Study Program, and individual lecturers is essential to prevent the need for sudden recruitment of adjunct lecturers solely to fill teaching gaps,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Despite promoting independence, FEB UNS remains committed to providing support for lecturers preparing to study abroad, including language capacity enhancement and administrative assistance. Internal scholarships from UNS are maintained as a contingency scheme or \u201cfinal safeguard\u201d if primary external funding schemes are not secured. Complementing the Dean\u2019s direction, the Vice Deans also reinforced the faculty\u2019s commitment by delivering specific guidance and motivation related to academic capacity development.<\/p>\n
The workshop also served as a platform for disseminating the latest policies on further studies, including provisions for lecturers above 50 years of age, to ensure that each age group contributes optimally to faculty advancement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This initiative aligns with FEB UNS\u2019s commitment to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) through the enhancement of lecturers\u2019 qualifications to international standards, as well as SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) by encouraging research and study collaboration through global scholarship networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
