During the 67th Dies Natalis of Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), held at Aula Barat ITB, academic achievements across faculties were formally recognized as part of the institution’s ongoing commitment to research excellence and innovation.

On this occasion, Ir.

The recognition was based on sustained contributions published in Scopus-indexed Q1 and Q2 international journals during the 2018–2025 evaluation period.

Acknowledging the contribution of 21 Scopus-indexed (Q1 and Q2) publications in 2025 that strengthen ITB’s research performance and academic reputation while advancing studies in energy, economics, and sustainable finance, IEEF extends its appreciation for the impact on the national and international research ecosystem.

This recognition reflects structured research engagement aligned with institutional standards of rigor, impact, and relevance.

The Dies Natalis ceremony served not only as a celebration of institutional milestones but also as a reaffirmation of ITB’s role in advancing interdisciplinary research that supports Indonesia’s long-term development objectives. Through continued collaboration between academia, industry, and policymakers, research initiatives are expected to further contribute to resilient energy systems, sustainable financial frameworks, and evidence-based policy formulation.
