Since its establishment on May 18, 1970, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) has not only fulfilled the vision of its founding fathers to accord Bahasa Melayu as the language of learning and scholarship but has also successfully produced intellectuals and scholars who are among the nation’s pride.

Starting out with only three faculties, it has since grown into 13 faculties, 13 research institutes of excellence and two commercial entities, UKM Holdings Sdn. Bhd. and UKM Technology Sdn. Bhd. It has thus grown not just in size, but also stature, becoming a research institute in various fields of study including operating various research centres. Aware of the changes taking place in the academic landscape, UKM is taking steps to address them.

One is through e-Learning to prepare students through innovative teaching and forward–looking curriculum to meet demands of the new economic needs. It nurtures research to provide solutions to pressing problems while also engaging with the community and industry, to strive for sustainable development both at the national and international levels.

Malaysia’s First Fuel Cell Car

Malaysia’s first indigenous Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicle was built by UKM’s Fuel Cell Institute. It is a golf buggy powered by a fuel cell engine using a system known as a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell/Supercapacitor Hybrid Power. The electrical power is produced by a stack of fuel cells generated by electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen from the air at low temperatures that produces water as a by-product. Fuel cell vehicles thus have zero emission and are clean, green, environmentally friendly and sustainable. UKM was given the mandate by the Education Ministry to lead the project to develop a zero emission vehicle using indigenous fuel cells with a grant of RM7 million for 3 years.

Keyhole Surgery

UKM made history with keyhole surgery with a 14-day old baby to remove 95% of his pancreas, making the pancreatectomy surgery the first of its kind in the world for patients below 30 days old.

RESEARCH & INNOVATIONRESEARCH & INNOVATIONUKM Medical Molecular Biology Institute (UMBI) is a leading institute on molecular medicine in Malaysia. UMBI was chosen by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation to lead The Malaysian Cohort project, a large-scale population studies in Malaysia to date. The project screened 106,527 participants complete with data on health, lifestyle and environment and biophysical measurements. Their biospecimens are kept in TMC Biobank which is arguably the largest bio-repository in South East Asia. In 2009, UMBI became a Higher Institution Centre of Excellence (HICOE) which is a recognition given by the Ministry of Education. UMBI is currently conducting research to identify risk factors, to study gene-environment interaction and to discover biomarkers for the early detection of cancers and other diseases.

The objective of this program is to raise awareness among young children and emphasizes on the importance of acting as an individual and as a community to make a difference on issues relating to climate change. It is also to empower the young children, their families and the school community by providing the knowledge and tools for monitoring and measuring their energy consumption and reducing their energy footprint through multimodal environmental literacy materials and eco-science-based activities.

Solar Energy Research

UKM’s Solar Energy Research Institute was established in July 2005, aimed at finding alternatives to fossil fuel which has contributed to global warming and environmental degradation. SERI undertakes research and development to develop renewable energy technology and expertise in the challenging field. SERI has won numerous awards as it conducts world-class research in solar energy and renewable energy technology and management for economic and environmental sustainability.

Community & Industry Strategic Alliances & Engagement

In the quest to develop, maintain and sustain UKM as the leading player in the establishment of mutually beneficial partnerships between university, industry and community, structured governance and innovative policy has been established for effective implementation. This is true at national, regional and global level.

UKM is building strategic alliances and network with the community surrounding the university area in Bangi, Selangor and also communities around the living labs located in various parts of Malaysia. Among the humanitarian activities work done include or were helping flood victims in Johor, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Perak and adopting several schools and communities for academic and community sustainability. We also rendered assistance to national disaster management effort through our counselling experts.

One of UKM’s successful projects with the community is Crystal (Creative Youths Through Innovative Learning) by the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment and Faculty of Information Science and Technology that focus on guiding the students in schools to enhance their creativity via the use of microchips. The UKM students are mentors and facilitate the creativity of the students. UKM is the first public university to provide free legal service to public through the UKM legal aid clinic. It has successfully assisted members of the public who have limited resources lawyers who handle the cases pro bono.

UKM has established good relations with industry and has signed several MoUs and MoAs, for example with Sime Darby Foundation for the development of sport facilities, CIMB Foundation in organizing conferences and events, UEM and PINTAR Foundation for research and development. Such innovative industry and community engagement partnerships support and strengthen research, education and service at UKM.

UKM will also establish Malaysia’s first Health Technopolis at its medical and health campus where cutting edge medical research and development can be carried out. The huge amount of data from the medical and health science faculties in UKM will be merged and integrated to form the basis of Health Technopolis.

Through such partnerships UKM continues to work with industries such as Sime Darby, FELDA, MK Land and AGA Zone as part of its initiatives in preserving nature, marine life and the environment.

UKM engages with various communities at home and abroad in issues that include disaster management, sustainability, human well-being and economic development.

A university that engages both industry and community brings about mutual benefits to enhance intellectual, social and economic well-being. Prof. Dr. Imran Ho AbdullahDeputy Vice-Chancellor Industry and Community Partnerships

Among the relationships established are with Universidad Intercultural Del Estado De Mexico [UiEM], El Colegio De Mexico [COLMEX), Universidad De Ixtlahuaca [CUI] and Universidad Nacional Autonoma [UNAM].

The cooperation was further strengthened with the signing of MoU between UKM and Ministry of Education, Gobierno del Estado de México [EDOMEX]. The support from the Malaysia Ambassador in Mexico alongside with the Minister of Education of Estado de Mexico enhances the cooperation and enables lots of activities between the participating institutions.

Over the years, UKM has hosted the short-term mobility program “100 Mexico Mobility to Malaysia” [MM2M100] which ran from 15 May – 5 June 2013. Due to the success of the first program, EDOMAX emulated the program and welcomed 19 Malaysian students to experience the program in Mexico. The students were from nine public universities in Malaysia and UKM was the coordinator. The students participated in the Malaysia-Mexico Exchange Program (MPMEX 2015) from 26 January – 15 February 2015.
