By implementing various programmes based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ITS continues to advance its journey towards WCU through initiatives that strengthen the institution\u2019s reputation and contribute tangibly to greater society.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This journey is compiled in ITS Point Magazine XXI Edition, recording ITS&#8217;s commitment to break a WCU through SDGs, from developing a world-class research ecosystem, contributions by students and alumni worldwide, until efforts to build a green and sustainable campus culture. Each story presented reflects how ITS has grown not only as an academic institution, but also as a pioneer of change that makes a difference to society, the environment and the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Supporting the SDGs Program, ITS Sets Sights on the World\u2019s Top 300<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-111122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Mask-group.png\" alt=\"Rektor ITS Mengikuti Rapat\" width=\"1692\" height=\"959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Mask-group.png 1692w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Mask-group-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Mask-group-1024x580.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Mask-group-768x435.png 768w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Mask-group-1536x871.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1692px) 100vw, 1692px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the lead of ITS Rector Prof Dr (HC) Ir Bambang Pramujati ST MScEng PhD, ITS keeps getting stronger on the international stage through various WCU programmes based on the SDGs.

Several SDG-based programs, such as the training of 1,000 AI Ambassadors, the Double Track programme in collaboration with secondary schools in East Java, international research collaborations, and environmental initiatives through the Gugur Gunung program, prove that ITS prioritises social impact as the guiding principle in its journey towards the World\u2019s Top 300.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Accelerating a World-Class Research Ecosystem at the Campus of Heroes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-111135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Copy-of-Prof-Adi-Setyo-Purnomo-SSi-MSc-PhD.jpg\" alt=\"Accelerating a World-Class Research Ecosystem at the Campus of Heroes\" width=\"1280\" height=\"898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Copy-of-Prof-Adi-Setyo-Purnomo-SSi-MSc-PhD.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Copy-of-Prof-Adi-Setyo-Purnomo-SSi-MSc-PhD-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Copy-of-Prof-Adi-Setyo-Purnomo-SSi-MSc-PhD-1024x718.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/Copy-of-Prof-Adi-Setyo-Purnomo-SSi-MSc-PhD-768x539.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The ITS\u2019s commitment to becoming a world-class research university by 2030 has been reinforced through the formulation of the 2026\u20132030 Strategic Plan, which focuses on four priority industrial clusters: maritime, automotive, information and communications technology, and the creative industries. The Vice-Chancellor for Research, Innovation, Collaboration and Alumni Affairs, Prof. Agus Muhamad Hatta ST MSi PhD, confirmed that this research direction is designed to ensure the university\u2019s research outcomes address real-world challenges in society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To accelerate this process, ITS has been selected as one of seven state universities with independent financial status (PTN-BH) in Indonesia to receive EQUITY funding from the LPDP.

The Barunastra team brought home six world championship titles, including a victory at the 2025 International RoboBoat Competition in Florida, and the Ichiro team earned 16 awards at the 2025 FIRA RoboWorld Cup in South Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Outside of competitions, Assoc. Prof. Sri Fatmawati, Ph.D., from the Department of Chemistry was listed in the Top 100 Asian Scientists of 2024 and received the Female Science Talents award from The Falling Walls Foundation in Germany. These achievements confirm that ITS\u2019s innovations provide real solutions to global sustainability challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>ITS Aspirations for Greater Sustainable Impact in 2026<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-111134\" src=\"https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/DJI_0050-2.jpg\" alt=\"ITS Smart Eco Campus\" width=\"1196\" height=\"646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/DJI_0050-2.jpg 1196w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/DJI_0050-2-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/DJI_0050-2-1024x553.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.its.ac.id\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/01\/DJI_0050-2-768x415.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1196px) 100vw, 1196px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Entering 2026, ITS community members from various backgrounds are hoping to create a broader and more sustainable impact. Prof. Aulia Siti Aisjah hopes that future Patriot Expeditions will be carried out with more thorough preparation, Prof. Murni Rachmawati aspires to the formation of an integrated research ecosystem, while Dr. Arief Abdurrakhman aims to improve internal coordination as the key to propelling ITS into the ranks of the world\u2019s top 300 universities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A similar spirit flows from students and alumni, from a commitment to consistent small daily actions to cross-border dedication refocused on Indonesia\u2019s progress. Together, they weave a single message into a single message, that ITS\u2019s journey toward a more meaningful future belongs to every individual who is part of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We hope you enjoy the full feature in this magazine.
