Hadrian noted that discussions regarding an Impactful\nCampus are highly relevant amid the drafting process of Indonesia\u2019s 2027\nnational education policy and budget. He stated that education remains a\npriority sector with substantial financial backing to strengthen\nIndonesian human resource development. \u201cGod willing, we are committed to\ncontinuing to push for a reinforced higher education budget. This is to\nstrengthen human resources in NTB,\u201d Hadrian said. The legislator for the\nNTB II electoral district covering Lombok Island further indicated that\nhigher education institutions currently face mounting demands to\ndemonstrate the social and economic relevance of all their academic\nactivities. Hadrian highlighted that high unemployment rates among\nuniversity graduates, public demands for accountability in education\nfund usage, and the need for innovations capable of solving societal\nproblems are reasons why the Impactful Campus concept is increasingly\nurgent to realise. \u201cIt is no longer sufficient for higher education\ninstitutions merely to produce graduates and scientific publications.\nCampuses must become engines of change, capable of delivering real\nsolutions for society and regional development,\u201d he stated. Meanwhile,\nUniversity of Mataram Rector Professor Sukardi affirmed that the\nuniversity continues to advance the Impactful Campus policy through\nvarious strategic programmes linking education, research, and community\nservice. According to him, higher education must not only produce\ngraduates and scientific publications but must also generate tangible\nand sustainable benefits. \u201cUnram continues to strengthen its various\nadvantages, one of which is through the development of a leading seaweed\nlaboratory. We are also reinforcing various impactful campus programmes,\nincluding the Impactful Professor Programme, which will be synergised\nwith the NTB Provincial Government\u2019s Empowered Villages programme,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>",
