Unud Chancellor Prof. Dr. Ir.

One of these changes is Society 5.0. Udayana University's steps in improving the quality of human resources to support Era Society 5.0 by encouraging and continuing to motivate all lecturers who have met the requirements to become Professors. With the addition of these five permanent professors, we now have 175 permanent professors (13% of 1,360 civil servant lecturers) spread across 11 faculties of 13 faculties within Udayana University. The ratio has exceeded the minimum limit that must be owned by a university. Currently, there are 418 Head Lectors who will be pushed to Professors, and we have improved the management of professor proposals and the Credit Score Assessment Team, making it easier for proposals to professors and faster.

Starting this year, we will form a Professor Forum consisting of all professors within the Udayana University, with the hope that it will provide benefits in the implementation of the Tridharma of Higher Education. Hopefully this Professors Forum will soon be able to collaborate, contribute and coordinate with the Rector so that what is a common goal can be done. This forum is also expected to provide input to university leaders regarding academic and non-academic matters to advance Udayana University.

The Chancellor hopes that the professors who have been inaugurated will be able to carry out their duties as well as possible, be role models, be able to protect and provide solutions to problems that arise in society through their knowledge to advance this nation and country. The new professors are also expected to motivate juniors and colleagues to achieve this highest degree in an effort to increase the number of excellent human resources at this beloved university, so that they are able to compete not only on the national level but also at the international level.
