National Youth Research Competition 2023 to Produced More Young Researchers

National Youth Research Competition (01/12)

Tangerang – After going through the Provincial Young Research Competition round, the selected finalists advanced to the National Young Research Competition (Lomba Penelitian Belia (LPB) Nasional). Attended by 312 young researchers with various fields and research topics. The Youth Research Competition was held at UMN on (01/12).

This Youth Research Competition is a research competition intended for students ranging from junior high school, high school, vocational high school, Madrasah Aliyah, and Madrasah Tsanawiyah. This National Youth Research Competition was attended by 312 research teams who were the winners of the National Young Research Competition, assessed by a total of 30 judges and divided into 10 fields, namely Mathematics, Physics, Environment, Sociology, Psychology, History, Economics, Geography, Computer Science, and Life Science. 

The Youth Research Competition is chaired by Monika Raharti, Ph.D., who is one of the chairs of the 2023 National Youth Research Competition, and Dr. Eng, Niki Prastomo, S.T., M.Sc, as the Dean of the Engineering and Informatics Faculty of UMN. UMN itself, as a campus that pays attention to research and innovation, also organizes the National Youth Research Competition. Because education itself is very important to UMN, this Youth Research Competition is a form of UMN’s attention to education.

“Seeing the enthusiasm of the students, we are happy because we see that more students are participating in the National Youth Research Competition this year. Seeing the number of students who participated, I hope there will be more next year. I also hope that this research is included in the curriculum at school, so it is not only in extracurricular activities or interested students, but all students have the opportunity to do research,” Monika said.

This activity is also not merely a competition. Participants get the experience to interact with each other, discuss with judges or fellow participants, and the opportunity to share and learn.

“The enthusiasm of the participants is unique to me– how these participants utilize science and knowledge as an effort to solve problems in their environment. Many of the participants put forward the concept of think global, act local,” Niki said.

Of course, both the judges and the organizers can continue to hold the National Young Research Competition so this can be a forum for young researchers to continue to hone their creative thinking skills, communication analysis, cooperation, hard work, and also self-reflection, and have a positive impact on others.
