OVERVIEW

Malikussaleh University together with 3 other universities UPI, UNJA, and UNRI received foreign loan grants from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia. The funds are used for physical development and resources packaged in Unimal's Advanced Knowledge and Sustainable Growth in Indonesia (AKSI)/AKSI-ADB UNIMAL Project. Along with that, ADB's Project ACTION also helped develop centre excellence in each college. Malikussaleh University is developing a Center of Excellence (PUI) in the field of biodiesel.

In this case, it requires increasing capacity in terms of knowledge and skills in terms of the production, use, and management of biofuels. Capacity building is needed for lecturers and laboratory staff who are focusing on biofuels, in the form of research, internships, and training.  Intensive biodiesel-related research was carried out by researchers.  Hopes that research can produce the output of scientific publications. The research results can be published in journal articles, conference articles, posters,  monograph books, patents, and IPRs.

The implementation of international conferences is intended to assist research publications within the Malikussaleh University lecturers and externally in the field of biodiesel. In addition, it can also fill in the GAP in the preparation of the centre excellence form.
