This is IPB University’s Research Distribution for 2025, with Food Dominating, Followed by Health and Engineering
IPB University has released its research distribution for 2025, which shows that food dominates with 43,5 percent. This data confirms IPB University’s commitment to strengthening national food security through science-based research and innovation.
IPB University mapped out its 2025 research distribution with the largest composition in the food sector (43,5%). In addition, the health and engineering product sectors each contributed 16,8 percent. Meanwhile, the social sciences and humanities field reached 7,7 percent, maritime 7,2 percent, advanced materials 5,4 percent, and energy 2,6 percent.
Vice Rector for Research, Innovation, and Agromaritime Development, Prof Ernan Rustiadi, said that the dominance of the food sector reflects the identity and scientific mandate of IPB University as a broad based agricultural university.
“The distribution of IPB University’s research fields in 2025 will be dominated by the food sector (43,5%). Health and engineering products will each account for 16,8%,” he said.
According to him, this composition shows the strategic direction of IPB University’s research, which not only focuses on food aspects but also other fields that are very strategic in supporting human life.
He explained that strengthening food research is closely correlated with the development of a sustainable agromaritime system, while also responding to the challenges of global food security.
Furthermore, Prof Ernan said that the contribution of the social humanities (7,7%) and maritime (7,2%) fields shows an increasingly strong interdisciplinary approach.
On the other hand, the development of advanced materials (5,4%) and energy (2,6%) remains a major part of supporting technology and industry transformation based on biological resources.
With this distribution, IPB University reaffirms its commitment to continue driving cutting-edge research that has a tangible impact on society, the nation, and the sustainable development of Indonesia’s agromaritime sector. (dr) (IAAS/LAN)
