UNM Named Most Productive University in 2026 PKM Cluster 5
Universitas Nusa Mandiri (UNM) has successfully achieved the award for the Most Productive University in the 2026 Student Creativity Programme (PKM) Funding Scheme, Cluster 5. The award was presented online during the PKM Award 2026 ceremony on Monday (21/09/2026).
This national appreciation was earned after seven PKM proposals authored by UNM students passed the selection process and secured funding for 2026. As a Digital Business Campus, UNM consistently facilitates student development, ranging from the initial idea formulation and proposal refinement to programme execution readiness.
The seven successful proposals cover various fields of innovation, integrating academic ability, technology, and an acute understanding of societal needs. Continuous mentorship by lecturers served as the primary key to the students’ success.
The Head of NEX.AI at Universitas Nusa Mandiri, Dr Ali Khumaiment, stated that this achievement is the result of cross-sector collaboration in building the campus innovation ecosystem.
“Alhamdulillah, we are grateful for the award of Universitas Nusa Mandiri as the Most Productive University in the 2026 PKM Funding Scheme, Cluster 5. The seven proposals that successfully obtained funding are the result of the hard work of students, supervising lecturers, study programmes, and all parties involved,” said Dr Ali in a press release received on Wednesday (23/09/2026).
He added that the university’s next focus is to oversee the implementation of these programmes to ensure every team can produce optimal outputs and deliver a real impact.
“This award is not the final goal, but rather new energy for us to continue improving the quality of our coaching. We will continue to assist the teams so they can execute their programmes to the maximum and serve as an inspiration for other students,” he emphasised.
This achievement further strengthens UNM’s commitment to encouraging structured research, entrepreneurial innovation, and community service. Following this award, UNM will focus its mentorship on achieving the specific output targets for each team in preparation for the 2026 National Student Scientific Week (PIMNAS).
