Twelve IPB University Inventors Participate in Monev of Kedaireka Match Fund Batch 3

A total of 12 inventors of IPB University’s Kedaireka Match Fund Batch 3 Year 2024 programme attended the Internal Monitoring and Evaluation (Monev). The event was held at the IPB International Convention Centre (IICC), Bogor (11/10).

Prof Tri Prartono, Vice Chief of LKST IPB University in the field of Innovation Development and Technology Transfer said that this internal monev was to prepare for the external monev at the end of October.

“Hopefully it will run on time and the budget can be absorbed without reducing the achievement as desired,” he said.

Furthermore, he said that when the programme runs as expected, it is likely to continue in the coming year.

Chief of LKST IPB University, Prof Erika B Laconi conveyed this monev in an effort to get input on the achievement of the resulting programme. 

“Is the financial side in accordance with the rules? This is our way to make sure that all programmes are in accordance with the rules,” she said.

Meanwhile, Prof Dwi Guntoro, Assistant for Innovation Development of LKST IPB University said, this monev is one of accountability to the institution. The results of the monev of the Padanaan Fund programme activities will be the material for monev conducted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek).

“There are 12 programmes that received this batch 3 monev. The results of this monev will be used as reference material whether or not they can apply for matching funds in the next programme,” he added.

Through this monev, he hoped that each programme recipient would be able to see the development of activities until at least 60 per cent of the programme’s achievement. (*/Rz) (IAAS/HLF)
