The Department of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Indonesia (FMIPA UI) through the Medical Physics and Biophysics Field Group (KBI) received international funding of 292,717 Euros or approximately 5 billion rupiah for a period of 4 years, starting from May 2023 to December 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The funding comes from (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) or the German Academic Exchange Service. In this activity, the UI Medical Physics KBI collaborated with Ulm University, Germany, within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) project funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) through the DAAD German Academic Exchange Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project entitled \"Entwicklung der Medizinischen Physik in Lehre und Forschung in Indonesien (Development of Medical Physics Teaching and Research in Indonesia)\" is administratively managed by Ulm University, coordinated by Prof. Dr. Gerhard Glatting and from UI coordinated by Dr.sc.hum. Deni Hardiansyah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The implementation of this activity also collaborates with several Universities that are members of the Alliance of Indonesian Medical Physics Education Institutions and the Alliance of Indonesian Medical Physicists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To the FMIPA UI public relations team, Dr. Deni revealed that the project will focus on collaboration in developing the curriculum for the Masters (S2) Medical Physics study program, transferring technical knowledge of Medical Physics through workshops and research for students of the Masters (S2) Medical Physics study program and the Doctoral (S3) Physics study program in the field of Medical Physics research, with Universities or research centers in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The activity focuses on collaboration between students of the Masters (S2) Medical Physics study program and Doctoral (S3) Physics study program in the field of Medical Physics research with Universities in Germany for curriculum development activities, and technical training related to Medical Physics,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Medical Physics and Biophysics KBI itself has been part of the Department of Physics, FMIPA UI since 1998 with the establishment of the Medical Physics and Biophysics interest in the S1 Physics study program. Special attention to advanced education in Medical Physics is shown by the opening of the Medical Physics specialty in the Master of Physics program in 2002, which in 2021 transformed into the first and only Master of Medical Physics study program in Indonesia. The involvement of international funding from DAAD strengthens FMIPA's commitment to academic internationalization by adding to the series of international collaborations for the development of academic quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
