Unhas Biology Students Win Second Place in the Student Curator Program for Biodiversity (MKDH)

The Student Biological Data Curator (MKDH) program is part of the MBKM program organized by the Indonesian Biology Consortium (KOBI). The program runs from February to June 2024. It includes an introduction to the biodiversity curator profession, presentations on the curation process by academics and experts, biological data curation activities by participants, and a final exam.

The MKDH program closing ceremony took place on Thursday, June 6, 2024, in the auditorium of the Faculty of Biology, Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta. Three outstanding participants were also invited to the in-person closing ceremony, including Nurul Dinza Jenia, a Biology student at Hasanuddin University. The criteria for outstanding participants were based on their active participation during the program, their exam scores, and, most importantly, their contribution to curated data to complete the Indonesian Biodiversity Index database.

The closing ceremony of the 2024 Biodiversity Data Curator MBKM, held at the Tropical Biology Auditorium, Faculty of Biology, Gadjah Mada University, also honored the top three participants: 1st place was a Biology student from Jenderal Soedirman University, 2nd place was a Biology student from Hasanuddin University, and 3rd place was a Biology student from Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University, Yogyakarta.
