Contact UsAs a world-class institution committed to research, BINUS UNIVERSITY has developed numerous research programmes and strives to facilitate research-related activities for its faculty members. BINUS UNIVERSITY therefore makes available grants, funding opportunities as well as all-encompassing research tools in order to support wide-ranging research initiatives. In doing so, the university has successfully proposed viable solutions for a large variety of sectors including food biotechnology, computer system, medicine, and bioinformatics among others. As such, BINUS UNIVERSITY is renowned as a highly-proficient partner by industry leaders; currently, the university has established research collaboration with Gudpoin and Yamaha. Moreover, BINUS International is a leading local partner for a number of esteemed institutions of higher education overseas illustrating the university’s extended efforts in spearheading research development.
BINUS UNIVERSITY’s extensive international network of partners of higher education institutions as well as businesses enables its students to partake in a wide array of student mobility programmes, internships, and student exchange opportunities. Furthermore, through its 3+1 enrichment programme initiative, undergraduate students are offered a year of experience in community development, research engagements, and start-up incubators among others. Leading these key programmes are the BINUS Global Collaboration Center, BINUS Career, BINUS Entrepreneurship Center, the Research and Technology Transfer Office, and Teach For Indonesia.
BINUS UNIVERSITY is committed to delivering unsurpassed student experience services thus the university makes available programmes as well as organisations ranging from Alumni Network and BINUS UNIVERSITY Learning Community. To encourage students in partaking in community development initiatives, BINUS UNIVERSITY has also setup Teach For Indonesia thus enabling enrolled students the opportunity to closely engage with Indonesian society. Under the guidance of the International Office, BINUS UNIVERSITY continues to successfully implement recruitment strategies for international students by offering courses that are taught in English. In the coming years, BINUS UNIVERSITY is aiming to increase the number of enrolled local and international students particularly from China and the ASEAN in keeping with its extensive list of university partners in the aforementioned regions. Currently, BINUS UNIVERSITY offers the BINA NUSANTARA Mandarin Club as well as the Mandarin Literature Student Organisation which strives to facilitate students from Chinese-speaking regions; these clubs also enable students to explore BINUS UNIVERSITY’s diverse cultural background.
“ Even though we remain highly-focused on our students and graduates, we are also committed to BINUS UNIVERSITY’s original purpose as a university which is to educate the entire Indonesian society. ”
BINUS UNIVERSITY lecturer and researcher Dr Rinda Hedwig recently released her research paper on the application of laser-induced spectroscopy (LIBS) to test and analyse trace elements biological and food samples; Dr Rinda Hedwig also serves as the Leader of RIG Photonics and Computer Systems.This important research can help the food and beverage industry as it provides better control for the processing and production methods thus ensuring safe and healthy foods for consumers.
The use of LIBS has been applied to monitor pollutants in the surrounding environment; air, soil, and water. This technique operates by focusing the laser onto a small area of the specimen in order to measure the elements contained within it. LIBS has often been used to detect pollutants where vegetables and fruits are grown as they are in direct contact with the soil. In collaboration with members from the renowned Maju Makmur Mandiri Research Centre (MMM) as well as higher education institutions in Indonesia, Dr Hedwig’s research focused on the analysis of boron in meatballs — preservatives such as formaldehyde and borax are widely used in Indonesian small-scale home food industries as an easy and cost-effective means of food preservation however, their consumption can be hazardous to the human body.
Dr Hedwig’s research paper demonstrates BINUS UNIVERSITY’s highly-adept lecturers and the quality of the research that they are engaged in. It is hoped that Dr Hedwig’s research will encourage greater discourse amongst students on the importance of food safety during processing and production phase in addition to preservation techniques. Furthermore, the university’s long-term cooperation with the MMM centre has resulted in the publication of more than 30 research papers showcasing the university’s contribution to the development of science in Indonesia.
