The keynote speaker for this training was Prof. Dr. Elisa Julianti, M.Si., a National Reviewer in Community Service under DRTPM. During the session, the speaker explained the process of submitting community service proposals and highlighted important aspects that applicants need to consider to avoid administrative errors that might result in immediate rejection at the early stages of review.
In addition, the Community Service Institution invited Dr. T. Henny Febriana Harumy, S.Kom., M.Kom., to share her experiences in implementing DRTPM community service programs, particularly her success in obtaining multi-year funding schemes.
