The regional selection for the 2026 National Olympiad of Mathematics and Natural Sciences for Higher Education (ONMIPA-PT) was held at the Mathematics Laboratory 1, Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Jember (UNEJ) (May 5-6). “Twenty UNEJ students, consisting of 13 from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, 6 from the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, and 1 from the Faculty of Medicine, participated in the OMIPA-PT regional selection to secure a ticket to the national level at UNAIR Surabaya in June 2026,” said Prof. Dr. Edy Supriyanto, S.Si., M.Si. The Vice Dean III of FMIPA UNEJ, who was in attendance, provided direct support. The UNEJ delegation participated in the online selection according to the fields of competition: mathematics and chemistry in the morning session, and biology and physics in the afternoon session

Nindha Ayu Berlianti, S.Pd., S.Si., M.Si., one of the mentors for the ONMIPA-PT UNEJ delegation, stated that the participants participating in the regional selection were selected from the university-level selection process several weeks ago. “This year, we conducted the university-level selection process first, then provided coaching to the 20 students who passed to participate in the regional selection process,” she explained. The successful participants then received intensive coaching at the C-RiSSH UNEJ Building. “Before the regional selection process, system testing and tryouts were conducted. This year’s competition is different from previous years, as we use the SEB application, access keys for both mathematics and physics, and we have our own proctors,” she continued.

In a series of 27th birthday parties of the Faculty of Science and 61st birthday parties of the University of Jember. The Department of Physics FMIPA organized a visitor professor presenting Prof. Dr. rer.nat. Muhammad Farchani Rosyid, M.Si. from the Department of Physics, FMIPA, UGM (22/10). Taking up the topic of “THE HISTORY OF GRAVITATION”, the event was formally opened by the Dean of FMIPA UNEJ Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D. In his welcome the Dean said today’s event was special because it brought a professor from UGM who would deliver a lecture on the history of gravity. “It will discuss the development of the concept of gravity, starting from Aristotle who believed objects fall because they return to their natural place, to Galileo who proved all objects fall in the same way without hindrance,” he said in FMIPA’s Physics Auditorium.

Prof. Dafik said Einstein developed a theory of general relativity that explained gravity as the curvature of space-time by mass, as well as predicting phenomena such as gravitational waves. “And that the concept of balance in the universe has been mentioned in the Qur’an, Surah Al-Mulk verses 3-4, which shows the relationship between science and religious belief,” he continued. The Dean also invited as well as Prof. Veerabhadriah Lokesha from India and Prof. Sudrajat Supian, M.Sc., Ph.D. from the University of Padjajaran. Earlier, the welcoming speech was also delivered by the Chairman of the Department of Physics FMIPA Dr. Agus Suprianto, S.Si., M.T. who is also a fellow speaker during his doctoral studies at UGM Yogyakarta.
