Publication of Research on Intelligence Rating and Readiness of Campus Digital Transformation by the Asosiasi Prakarsa Indonesia Cerdas (APIC)

ITS Campus, ITS News – As a campus that carries a technological jargon, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) continues to hone its seriousness for using technology. Through this commitment, ITS managed to get an award for the Research on Campus Intelligence Rating and Readiness for Digital Transformation of the Indonesian Campus 2022 initiated by Asosiasi Prakarsa Indonesia Cerdas (APIC) Indonesia.

By the research was published in early March, ITS immediately received two awards from the two existing categories.

Through this appreciation, APIC stated that ITS was in line with the Smart campus concept they defined.

Quoted from the official APIC website, the Smart campus concept in question is not just using the most advanced technology in the teaching environment. But also how these campuses can manage and integrate technology with human resources, to create an effective and efficient campus ecosystem.

This achievement cannot be separated from the vision and mission of ITS as a leading university in the field of science and technology in Indonesia. The reason is, that ITS itself lists the role of technology in every field in its institution. Such as the mission in education to provide higher education based on information technology or information technology (IT), research and community service centered on technology development, to management principles based on information and communication technology (ICT).

This is also stated by ITS in the institute’s strategic plan (renstra) for 2021-2025. In this case, ITS Rector Prof. Dr. Ir Mochamad Ashari MEng explained that ITS implemented the ID 4.0 strategy according to the institute’s strategic plan, include Internal Enhancement, Digital Transformation, Innovation Development, and International Reputation. “Through this strategy, for the last three years, ITS has become an institute with various achievements.
