Academic Leader covers the trends, challenges, and best practices today’s academic decision-makers need to protect and enhance their institution’s mission while meeting the evolving demands from internal and external stakeholders.

General term of academic leader

C = L X E t R

C = Change / perubahan

L = Leadership

E = Effort

R = Resistensi

t = Waktu

Higher Education Tasks Bologna mission:

Bequeath skill and scientific knowledge to the younger generation (empowering)

A continuum process for Scientific Literacy (under graduate)

Developing students multidimensional competency (teach the students how scientist see the world)

Strong task in research (post graduate) (student apprentice in the research activities)

Internal problem should relate with Institutional Development (Model Situation Analysis Result)

Research Road Map

• Dikti: It is linked with graduate courses of both Master and Doctor

• Group of researchers lead by senior academician

• Institutional Flagship

• This can only be excellently achieved in Good Academic Atmosphere and Good University Governance

Developing Research communities (lesson learned)

Develop groups of scientist (with an academic leader) who are eager to work in concept development where students can find communities to develop their scientific competencies

Developing relevance between education-research community services (where the teaching materials and methods can be continuously enriched and updated)

Academic Leader (Collegial partnership)

• Initiating and motivating research interest

• Initiating and developing ideas

• Coordinating research activities

• Maintaining ethics and academic excellence

• Developing external academic networking

• Elected based on their academic reputation and integrity (respected by members of the group)

• Research interest must fit with the targeted competence of the education program

GLOBAL ISSUES

1. Increasing human population and poverties

2. Ecological system problems

3. New emerging disease

4. Natural resource exploitation

5. War and global conflict (neocolonialism)

6. The use of scientific issues for marketing in

global bussiness

7. Endangered natural resources

focus and “niche” selection (Internal factors)

• Available resources

• Internal capacity

• Focus ≠ academic discipline

• Most of problems in the real world are multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary approached

Focus and niche selection (External factors)

Surveillance:

- Careful observation of economic, politics, and social culture are needed quantitative observation will improve the outlook scenario

Understanding chance:

- Specific competence is better

- Focus selection and program priorities Understanding treats:

• Local, regional, and international: GATS etc.

• Physical changes: Nature and Social

Internal Strategic Issues Collegial partnership development, a lesson learned

Develop groups of scientist (with an academic leader) who are eager to work in concept development where students can find communities to develop their scientific competencies

Research interest must fit with the targeted competence of the education program

Activities (Developing Research communities)

• Initiating and motivating research interest • Initiating and developing ideas • Improving Research Capability • Coordinating research activities • Drive student research involvement to improve relevance • Drive competition to improve quality • Maintaining ethics and academic excellence • Developing external academic networking • Developing relevance between education-research-

community services (where the teaching materials and methods can be continuously enriched and updated)

Research Cooperation With Others

• It can be realized after understanding our current situation for both internal and external strategic issues

• Self Evaluation is important steps in understanding the cooperation values with others

- Strengthening our weaknesses

- Helping to treat challenge

- Strategies of institutional development

• Improving academic atmosphere

• Access (include Funding) and sustainability

TRIMAKASIH ATAS PERHATIANNYA

Good Governance

1. Telling the truth (transparency and disclosure) Develop accounting system based on accounting standard and best

practiced to ensure quality of financial report and disclosure

Develop IT and MIS to ensure proper performance measurement

and effective decision making process

Publicly announced vacant position

2. Keep your promises (accountability and Responsibility)

Maintain accountable contact, Low enforcement, Develop audit

system, Use qualified external auditor

Be professional and ethical, awareness to social responsibility,

Ovoid abuse of power, sound business environment

3. Be fair (Fairness) Establish corporate rules to protect minority interest, self dealing

and conflict of interest, fairly present any material information,

introduce equal job opportunity

How to develop research ideas

for road map?

Observe our surrounding, identifiying the

situation, phenomena, and be contamplative.
