The Hibah talks event works as a platform for spreading information regarding the 2025 grant schemes, which includes grant programmes, writing facilities, and other various types of funding. The common grant programmes consists of four categories, which includes grants for lecturers, students, preparation for PKM, and collaborative international grants.

This year, the policies regarding the research period have been extended for both grant recipients of this year and for the year before. This is done to give more time for researchers in processing data collection, data organization, writing, and publication.
“As for the grant recipients last year who have not finished their research, they are allowed to continue it. We realize that producing good publications and research is very difficult to do in a short period of time. This is why this year’s grant scheme does not only focus on proposal writing and resource distribution, but there is also a form of facilitation in improving the quality of research,” explained Wawan Mas’udi in his speech, as the Dean of Fisipol UGM.
Specifically in regards to the deadline for submitting the final output for International Collaborative and Triple Helix grants, it is no later than June 30, 2027.

This initiative is in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, specifically in promoting sustainable education. Through this, UP3M of Fisipol UGM is committed to improving the quality of research by bridging the divide between data collection and publication.
