Hopefully she can carry out the mandate well for the realization of the Sumbawa University of Technology.

The 30 selected researchers were the result of a selection of applications from 146 Indonesian researchers spread across four countries, namely Indonesia, Australia, Japan, and England. Applicants from Indonesia come from 38 regions spread from Bireuen Regency, Aceh to Manokwari Regency, West Papua.

The profiles of participants vary from health experts, economics, public policy, infrastructure experts, nature conservation, agriculture, climate change, tourism, to COVID-19 management. They represent a diverse range of institutions from universities, civil society organizations, the private sector, as well as reputable research institutions such as the Eijkman-Oxford Clinical Research Unit (EOCRU) which is affiliated with Oxford University in the UK.

Ali Budhi Kusuma is the dean and lecturer at the Faculty of Life Sciences and Technology, University of Technology Sumbawa, in West Nusa Tenggara. He earned his doctorate in 2020 from Newcastle University, UK with a research specialization in microbiology in extreme environments. Ali also established the Indonesian Center for Extremophile Bioresources and Biotechnology, the only research center for extreme environmental microorganisms in Southeast Asia. In addition, he is also active as a manager at Sumbawa Technopark, an innovation area established to encourage sustainable research and development in Sumbawa.

Furthermore, the selected researchers will attend a series of workshops from international facilitators and speakers. In addition, they will also participate in mentoring sessions with leading scientists from within and outside the country, as well as engage in various activities that encourage collaboration between participants.

The Science Leadership Collaborative is specifically designed to use the most advanced and up-to-date methods to support the vertical development of the participants, particularly in the aspects of leadership and collaboration.

This program, among others, uses approaches such as Leadership Development developed at Harvard University, as well as the framework of Salim Ismail—an expert on disruption and exponential organization from India, Barry Oshry—a pioneer in systems thinking from the United States, and Nora Bateson—a complexity theory developer from the International Bateson. Sweden-based Institute.

The raw material for Marisol Biofertilizer is Sargassum sp. which is one type of seaweed that is abundantly available in Sumbawa waters. This is an added value of this product, because FSLT lecturers and students are also campaigning for a movement to care for the environment. Sargassum sp. obtained from the waters of Tanjung Pengamas, Labuhan Badas District. Furthermore, the seaweed is dried and chopped with a special seaweed chopper machine. Sargassum sp. that has been chopped mixed with fertile soil with a certain dose and stored in an airtight closed container for the fermentation process.

Marisol Biofertilizer has previously been through a series of studies related to its effectiveness. Tests on ornamental plants, obtained better growth compared to bokashi and chemical fertilizers. Ornamental plants fed Marisol Biofertilizer have larger flowers and faster growth. Tests on maize (a food crop) showed the use of Marisol Biofertilizer accelerated root growth and leaf count. Based on the results of research that has been done, this fertilizer is suitable for ornamental plants and food crops. Marisol Biofertilizer has a functional microbe of 1.05 x 106CFU/g. This indicates that the microbial diversity in Marisol Biofertilizer is very high. Marisol fertilizer quality tests in accordance with Ministry of Agriculture Regulation No. 261 of 2019 are still being carried out at the Testing, Calibration and Certification Services Laboratory of IPB. The tests carried out were C-Organic, C/N ratio, water content, heavy metals (As, Hg, Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni), pH, macro nutrients (N, P2O5, K2O), micro nutrients (Fe Total , Mn, Zn). Marisol Biofertilizer is packaged in 10 kg and 5 kg packages, with prices of Rp. 28.000,00 and Rp. 15.000,00. The UTS Road To MXGP Expo activity is the first launching of Marisol Biofertilizer which is the result of innovation from FSLT lecturers and students. With this activity, Marisol Biofertilizer became heard among the UTS academic community and the Sumbawa community. It would be better if in the future, Marisol Biofertilizer was included in product exhibitions related to agriculture or ornamental plants in order to directly attract the target market.

Community service is one of the main tasks and functions that must be carried out by lecturers, as functional staff in higher education. From the two important points above, community service must be placed in an important position and become a priority as well as learning and research activities. With this, FTB UTS encourages and facilitates lecturers to do community service. So far, there are a number of community service opportunities that can be utilized by lecturers, including PPM community service funded by the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, UTS community service institutions, UTS TEMATIC KKN as other forms of collaboration with various stakeholders. To expand the opportunities for lecturers to carry out community service, FTB UTS offers opportunities for special community service activities for lecturers in the UTS environment, through internal funding budgets that are managed in their respective faculties.

This activity will become an annual routine agenda and needs to be continuously improved both in quantity and quality. In order to support the government in reducing the impact of COVID, the FTB UTS community service program adapts to conditions in the area, namely by making offline and online service regulations. This regulation is regulated by prioritizing existing COVID-19 prevention protocols. Offline this program focuses on mapping village potential, while online this program focuses on village promotion. There are three villages that are the targets of this SINERGI KKN program, namely Marente Village, Batu Bangka and Labuhan Jambu. This village was chosen because it has a representative potential for natural resources and the uniqueness of Sumbawa. In order to launch the SINERGI KKN program, FTB is supported by several faculties with different disciplines such as the Faculty of Communication Studies, the Faculty of Psychology and other faculties at UTS. The hope is that with cross-scientific, different villages can feel the benefits of this program.
