SURABAYA \u2014 Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Science and\nTechnology Fauzan has called for the Diktisaintek ecosystem to be\nadvanced and supported by problem-solvers able to address challenges in\nsociety.<\/p>\n
He made the remarks at the 2026 Diktisaintek Awards, held to\nrecognise stakeholders in the higher education, science and technology\nsector at Airlangga University (Unair) in Surabaya on Tuesday, 10\nNovember 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe meaning of this award is that all of you, the winners, have a\nresponsibility to bring about positive change. It is only natural to\nfeel happy when receiving an award, but even more important is to make a\ndifference after receiving it,\u201d Fauzan said.<\/p>\n
He said achievements should be followed by sustained contributions.\nUniversities, the government, businesses and industry, as well as the\nmedia, all have a role in delivering benefits to the public, he said,\nadding that he hoped award recipients would become problem-solvers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough these awards, Diktisaintek hopes to recognise people who\nbring reassurance, solve problems and provide solutions, rather than\nhinder progress,\u201d Fauzan said.<\/p>\n
Fauzan said he hoped the 2026 award winners would continue to benefit\nthe public and not stop contributing after receiving recognition.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot people who are always refusing, but people who are always\nserving, serving and serving,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The 2026 Diktisaintek Awards comprised seven award groups and\nrecognised 828 recipients from public and private universities, Higher\nEducation Service Institutions (LLDikti), ministries and government\nagencies, businesses and industry, as well as media organisations and\njournalists.<\/p>\n
Secretary-General of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and\nTechnology Badri Munir Sukoco said the awards recognised the\ncontributions of ministries and agencies, businesses and industry,\njournalists, and mass media in building collaboration and strengthening\nIndonesia\u2019s higher education, science and technology ecosystem.<\/p>\n
The 2026 ceremony was the sixth edition of the awards, which have\nbeen presented as a single event since 2021.
