The Department of Agricultural Microbiology held a Seminar or Guest Lecture on Friday, June 28, 2024. The Guest Lecture aimed to introduce ISO, HACCP, and SNI. The event was held at the Venture Lab, AGLC Building, 6th Floor, Faculty of Agriculture, UGM, attended by all microbiology lecturers and 54 microbiology students from various cohorts. The event began with a warm welcome from the Head of the Department of Agricultural Microbiology, Ir. Donny Widianto, Ph.D. In his speech, Donny conveyed that Training on Standardization and Conformity Assessment (ISO, HACCP, and SNI) is essential to be recognized and studied.
In this guest lecture, we invited a speaker from the alumni of Agricultural Microbiology, Antonius Ari S.P., who graduated from the Agricultural Microbiology program in 2004. As the speaker, Antonius explained everything from the meaning of standardization to the levels of standardization. “This certification is interesting and important to learn because this management system needs to be applied in various fields. Besides that, in a company, you also need to have a high social spirit,” said Ari. Next, the event continued with a question-and-answer session. In this session, the audience was very enthusiastic about asking questions. After the Q&A session ended, it was followed by a closing session and a documentation session. The benefit of this Guest Lecture is gaining valuable knowledge that will later become a provision for students in their future academic dynamics. This synergy is a strong evidence to achieve the goal of SDG 4: Quality Education.
