Research is the creation of new knowledge or using old knowledge creatively to generate new concepts, methodologies, and understandings. This can include synthesis and analysis of previous research to the extent that it leads to unique and creative results.
The two most important components of any research project are ideas and execution. The successful implementation of a research project depends on the effort of the researcher and the infrastructure available to carry out the research.
Research projects require human and material costs, and funding is essential to meeting these requirements. Research funding is needed to meet these costs and the smooth implementation of research projects.
This is the outline of Knowledge Coffee with the theme “Business Agility in the Pandemic Era: Socialization from Facebook (Meta) Research Awardee” on Tuesday (13/12). The discussion presented researchers from ITB who were fully funded by Meta. They are the Head of Management of Technology (MoT) Laboratory of SBM ITB, Dr.rer.pol.Eko Agus Prasetio, Dedy Sushandoyo, Ph.D. (SBM ITB), and Head of Artificial Intelligence Center ITB Dr.Eng.Ayu Purwarianti.
Meta awarded outstanding professors with research awards to support ongoing research efforts. Awards usually result from research awards programs to help build long-term relationships with academics and support innovative research.
From time to time, Meta invites academics to propose research in certain fields that align with Meta’s mission to build community and bring the world closer. Meta is pleased to invite faculty to respond to this request for research proposals to drive further innovation in this fundamental distributed systems challenge and deepen collaboration with academia.
