He expressed confidence that UNESA is optimistic about continuing to increase the level of research every year.
Apart from being an obligation, the importance of developing expertise in a field including innovation in content and research methods is an important aspect. Of course, increasing innovation is based on the research conducted.

Regarding research in Indonesia, Prof . Faiz said that publication platforms like Sinta really support research. However, higher education participation in research and service in 2023 will not be optimal. He hopes that participation will increase this year.
Some research and community service schemes have similarities, but also have some changes. Changes to the 2024 research scheme from DRTPM, with special research for novice lecturers focused outside Java. This reflects a commitment to supporting inclusivity and dissemination of research to wider areas.
On that occasion, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Turhan Yani, M.A., Director of LPPM highlighted the importance of involving competent resource persons in increasing competence in the field of research and service.
He noted changes to the scheme in 2024, especially regarding the assignment of study program coordinators with international accreditation, who will receive financial support for coordination of study programs resulting in international journal publications.
Prof. Turhan also reminded to immediately complete research proposals and emphasized the urgency in the finalization process. "Speed in preparing research proposals is very important to ensure the implementation of innovative ideas," he said.
