The Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Universitas Diponegoro (FSM UNDIP), once again marks a proud achievement. A total of 12 student teams have successfully secured funding in the 2025 Student Creativity Program (PKM), a prestigious initiative organized by the Directorate of Learning and Student Affairs, Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology.
This program serves as a strategic platform to foster student sensitivity toward national issues while encouraging creative and innovative solutions. This year, PKM introduced several improvements, including a web-based system and thematic PKM streams aligned with ten national development priorities.
FSM UNDIP extends its highest congratulations and appreciation to the students and their supervising lecturers for this outstanding achievement.
