Universitas Negeri Gorontalo
Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (UNG), located in Gorontalo City, Indonesia, is a prominent higher education institution dedicated to academic excellence and regional progress. Originally established in 1993 as the State Teacher Training College (STKIP), the institution evolved into an Institute (IKIP) in 2001 before officially attaining university status in 2004. According to its strategic roadmap for 2025-2029, UNG's primary vision is to become a leading, competitive university specializing in regional innovation development. To achieve this ambitious goal, the university is committed to a multi-faceted mission that includes organizing digital technology-based education to produce globally competitive graduates and gaining international recognition for its academic standards.
Furthermore, the university focuses on enhancing its research competitiveness to produce international-caliber knowledge and technology that supports national development and community welfare. UNG also prioritizes innovative, regional-based community service designed to address local challenges such as poverty and social inequality. These efforts are bolstered by strategic national and international partnerships and a commitment to maintaining an adaptive, transparent, and accountable governance system. With a diverse student body of over 22,000 individuals from across 27 provinces and a wide array of 85 academic majors, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo continues to strengthen its identity as an "Impactful Campus." By blending high-level research with community-focused initiatives, UNG remains a vital hub for intellectual growth and socio-economic transformation in Indonesia's eastern region, ensuring its graduates are well-prepared for both global and local challenges.
Department of Mathematics
Established on May 19, 2014, under the Ministry of Education and Culture’s Decree No. 114/E/O/2014, the Mathematics Undergraduate Study Program at FMIPA UNG officially began its academic journey by welcoming its first cohort of students in the 2015–2016 academic year. The program is dedicated to developing graduates who are not only academically excellent but also culturally grounded in the fields of mathematics and applied mathematics. These graduates are prepared to compete effectively in both national and international job markets, equipped with the skills necessary to address complex societal challenges. Furthermore, the program actively contributes to social progress by utilizing mathematical frameworks and applied technology through rigorous research and community service initiatives.
Symposium on Biomathematics 2026
The Symposium on Biomathematics (Symomath) is an annual scientific program organized by the Indonesian Biomathematics Society (IBMS) in cooperation with various universities in Indonesia, a tradition that began at Institut Teknologi Bandung in 2013. In 2026, the symposium will be organized by the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, in collaboration with the Indonesian Bio-mathematical Society, and will take place on 8 September 2026 at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, Province of Gorontalo, Indonesia. As a biomathematical forum, this symposium provides a vital space for scientific exchange and collaboration among researchers, students, and industrial practitioners who develop and apply mathematical, statistical, and computational tools to study complex phenomena across the broad fields of biology, epidemiology, ecology, medicine, and environmental science.
The symposium encompasses a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary research, specifically focusing on population dynamics, modeling infectious diseases, and integrating bioinformatics and systems biology. It further explores advancements in bioengineering and synthetic biology, the application of biostatistics, and the sustainable utilization of renewable resources within industrial sectors. Participants are encouraged to share insights on biomathematics as it relates to economic and conservation issues, the diverse applications of mathematics in medical sciences, and the latest developments in optimization and optimal control within the life sciences. Additionally, the program highlights the importance of computational methods for life science models and the study of complex ecological systems, fostering a comprehensive dialogue across these vital fields.
