This activity is a strategic forum for strengthening synergy, increasing human resource capacity, and aligning the direction of public communication in higher education in Indonesia.
Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology, Fauzan, in his briefing emphasized that universities today not only act as centers for the development of science, but also as centers for innovation and solutions to various societal problems. Therefore, the function of public relations and protocols has an increasingly strategic role in building narratives, conveying achievements, and strengthening public trust in higher education institutions.
In line with this spirit, the participation of Politani Samarinda in the 2026 Public Relations and Protocol Coordination Meeting is an important momentum to increase institutional capacity in managing communication more effectively, professionally and adaptively to developments in digital technology. Various materials presented during the activity included higher education public communication, research and innovation communication, crisis communication, public relations transformation in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), and strengthening protocol functions.
For Politani Samarinda, strengthening the public communication function is an important part of supporting the institution's vision as a superior and competitive vocational college. Through planned and strategic communication, various educational programs, applied research, community service, cooperation, innovation, and academic community achievements can be conveyed widely and provide greater benefits to society.
Active participation in this national forum also opens up opportunities for Politani Samarinda to expand networks, share good practices with various universities in Indonesia, and adopt various innovations in managing public relations and public information services. It is hoped that the experience and knowledge gained during the coordination meeting will be a provision in strengthening institutional communication governance that is transparent, responsive and impactful.
Through involvement in the 2026 Public Relations and Protocol Coordination Meeting, Politani Samarinda emphasized its commitment to continue to improve the quality of public information and communication services, while strengthening institutional branding at regional and national levels. This step is in line with the Ministry of Education and Technology's efforts to encourage universities to be able to communicate various policies, innovations and achievements effectively, so that the benefits of campus existence are truly felt by the community and contribute to national development.
