Career promotion at Universitas Padjadjaran is based on a structured, performance-driven system that recognizes interdisciplinary research through a quantitative point-based evaluation mechanism. Research outputs are assigned measurable performance scores, with higher points awarded for top-tier international publications (Scopus and Web of Science Q1–Q3), including scores exceeding 2,600 points for Q1 publications, and an additional 10% bonus for international collaboration.
This system is integrated into academic evaluation and promotion processes in line with national regulations, including Permendiktisaintek No. 52 Tahun 2025, ensuring that interdisciplinary research is formally recognized within career advancement.
Universitas Padjadjaran provides structured incentives and support for interdisciplinary research, including:
- Competitive research funding such as the International Matching Fund (up to IDR 100 million), Riset Kompetensi Dosen Unpad (up to IDR 85 million), and Riset Pengembangan Dosen Vokasi (up to IDR 30 million)
- Publication incentives for Scopus-indexed journals (Q1–Q3)
- Output-based rewards for publications, patents, policy contributions, and applied research outputs
A performance-based remuneration system, regulated under Rector Regulation No. 4 of 2025, further links research outputs to institutional Key Performance Indicators (IKU/IKK), particularly in research, internationalization, and education (MBKM).
These systems are supported by the Directorate of Human Resources and Workforce Competency Development and the Directorate of Research, Downstreaming, and Community Service (DRHPM), which oversee academic career development, research performance evaluation, and interdisciplinary research management.
Universitas Padjadjaran also recognizes outstanding academic staff through institutional platforms, reinforcing a culture of interdisciplinary excellence and research impact.
