The Rector of Diponegoro University, represented by the Vice Rector for Research, Innovation and Cooperation at Diponegoro University, Prof. Dr. Ir. Ambariyanto, M.Sc. in his remarks thanked the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology for organizing the Kedaireka Matching Fund Program since 2021 and continuing in 2022. He said that the Kedaireka Matching Fund Program was very beneficial from at least 3 main aspects. First, bridging research results from researchers so that they can be utilized by industry. Second, bridging the need for products from the Business World Industry (DUDI) actors that Undip researchers need to examine. Third, accelerating the process of downstreaming research results from tertiary institutions, especially Undip, so that they can be used directly by the community and the industrial world. Therefore Diponegoro University strongly supports this program and hopes that more of Diponegoro University researchers will receive funding from the Kedaireka Matching Fund Program in the coming years.
