FMIPA UNEJ and Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha Republik Indonesia (KPPU-RI) established a partnership on a self-managed study and institutional synergy (April 17). Present were KPPU-RI Commissioner Dr. Eugenia Mardanugraha, S.Si., M.E., accompanied by the Director of Economics, the KPPU’s Public Relations Officer (PPK), the Head of the Surabaya Regional Office’s Research Division, and several staff members. The KPPU team was welcomed by Prof. Dr. Edy Supriyanto, S.Si., M.Si., the Vice Dean III representing the Dean of FMIPA UNEJ, accompanied by Dr. Alfian Futuhulhadi, S.Si., M.Si., and members of KeRis Data Science.

In her remarks, KPPU-RI Commissioner Dr. Eugenia stated that this collaboration is a cross-disciplinary collaboration that supports the KPPU’s work program. “Law No. 5 of 1999 serves as the KPPU’s basis for preventing monopolistic practices, cartels, and unfair market dominance. Therefore, collaboration is needed to support economic transformation,” she said. She stated that the KPPU continues its fight to eradicate cartels, as evidenced by the recent fines imposed on 97 online lending companies. This collaboration is part of the data-driven business competition oversight effort.
Vice Dean III, Prof. Edy, also enthusiastically welcomed the collaboration between the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) and the KPPU-RI through KeRis Data Science. “This collaboration strengthens the FMIPA’s collaborative network with government agencies. FMIPA has the competence and expertise to contribute to the nation, as is the case with KPPU-RI today,” she said. The signing of the MoU took place in the Meeting Room of the FMIPA Dean’s Building. The Vice Dean II of FMIPA, Dr. Esti Utarti, S.P., M.Si., was present. Those present at the event also expressed their appreciation for improving the quality of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA)’s work with government institutions, aligning with the FMIPA UNEJ’s performance targets.
The signing was carried out by Ima Damayanti, S.H., M.H., as Kuasa Pengguna Anggaran Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha, and Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D., the Dean of FMIPA UNEJ. The agreement, which will last for one year from the date of signing, will see the parties collaborate on implementing Type II Self-Management Activities in accordance with the Business Competition Supervisory Commission’s Work Plan. Subsequently, the KPPU-RI team and members of the FMIPA Mathematics Data Science KeRis (Keris Data Science Mathematics) held a technical preparatory meeting to conduct a study on the sample design and composition of respondents for the business competition index.
