Increasing the number of professors is crucial for education in Indonesia. Indirectly, the number of professors can be linked to the achievement of SDG 4, particularly in the context of improving education quality. Professors, or lecturers in higher education, play a crucial role in ensuring high-quality higher education that is relevant to the needs of society and the workforce. Here are some ways in which the number of professors can contribute to the achievement of SDG 4:

1. Availability and quality of teaching: A sufficient number of professors allows universities to offer a wide range of study programs and courses with high teaching standards. This can improve the overall quality of higher education.
2. Research and innovation: Professors are often also involved in research and innovation, which can enrich students' learning experiences and help in finding solutions to global issues related to the SDGs, such as climate change, poverty, and social inequality.
3. Student mentoring: Professors not only provide teaching but also act as guides and mentors for students. Through these interactions, they can help students develop skills, knowledge, and understanding relevant to achieving SDG targets, such as gender equality, access to education, and decent work.

To support this goal, the Accounting Doctoral Student Association (HIMA PDIA) Universitas Airlangga held a sharing session during Ramadan, presented in a relaxed and lighthearted manner, themed "Ngabuburit Riset 1.0." The main objective of this activity was to provide guidance and new perspectives for academics and practitioners to reach the pinnacle of their academic careers as Professors.

This event is open to the public, not only Airlangga University students but also everyone. Please join us.
