日惹纳德拉特尔乌拉玛大学获格林美365万美元资金，用于未来冶金学院土地收购

China - Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Yogyakarta (UNU Jogja) has officially received USD 3.65 million (around Rp60.2 billion) from GEM Co., Ltd., marking the first stage of funding for the establishment of the China–Indonesia Faculty of Future Metallurgy.

The funds will be used to acquire and register 14,801 square meters of land in Yogyakarta, which will host the future faculty’s academic and research complex. This land acquisition is the opening milestone of a larger USD 30 million (around Rp495 billion) investment that GEM and its industry partners have committed to the project.

Building a Hub for Metallurgical Innovation

The China–Indonesia Faculty of Future Metallurgy is envisioned as a world-class education and research hub in advanced metallurgy, sustainable resource utilization, and green energy materials. The campus will feature state-of-the-art laboratories, lecture halls, and student dormitories, providing facilities that meet international standards.

The academic programs will emphasize urban mining, circular economy practices, and energy materials research, with offerings ranging from undergraduate to postgraduate levels. In addition, students will gain access to scholarships, visiting scholars, joint research initiatives, and industrial training opportunities through GEM’s global network. The first intake of students is expected in 2026.

GEM Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shenzhen, China, is a global pioneer in urban mining and new energy materials, best known for large-scale recycling of electronic waste and spent batteries. The company has developed a dual-track business model of “urban mining + new energy material manufacturing,” supplying key industries worldwide while promoting sustainable practices.

The initiative has been strongly supported by Prof. Xu Kaihua, Chairman of GEM, who is regarded as one of China’s leading advocates of the circular economy. Prof. Xu has consistently emphasized the importance of linking talent development with industrial innovation, and his leadership has been central to making this international collaboration possible.

Strengthening Indonesia’s Downstream Strategy

Indonesia has placed a high priority on developing downstream mineral industries, aiming to shift from exporting raw materials to becoming a leader in high-value manufacturing. The establishment of the Faculty of Future Metallurgy at UNU Jogja is expected to contribute directly to this national agenda by producing graduates with specialized expertise and fostering innovation in sustainable metallurgy.

“This initial funding marks a concrete step forward, turning plans into action,” said Widya Priyahita Pudjibudojo, Rector of UNU Jogja. He continued, “We are grateful for GEM’s trust and for the visionary leadership of Prof. Xu Kaihua, which aligns with Indonesia’s ambition to build global excellence in metallurgical research and education.”

With the land secured, UNU Jogja and GEM are preparing for the next phase: construction of academic, research, and residential facilities, laying the foundation for Yogyakarta to become a regional hub for sustainable metallurgical innovation. [Nabil]

日惹纳德拉特尔乌拉玛大学正式收到来自格林美股份有限公司（GEM Co., Ltd.，简称格林美）的首笔资金——365万美元（约合6,020亿印尼盾），用于筹建中印尼未来冶金学院。

这笔资金将用于购买并注册一块14,801平方米的土地，未来将在此建设学院的教学与科研综合体。这次土地收购是格林美及其产业伙伴总计3,000万美元（约合4,950亿印尼盾）投资计划的第一阶段。

打造冶金创新中心

中印尼未来冶金学院的愿景是建设一个世界一流的教育与科研中心，专注于先进冶金、可持续资源利用与绿色能源材料。新校园将配备国际标准的实验室、教学楼与学生宿舍。

学院的学术项目将重点培养城市矿产开采、循环经济实践和能源材料研究，涵盖本科、硕士及博士层次。此外，学生还将通过格林美的全球网络获得奖学金、访问学者机会、联合科研项目以及产业实习机会。预计首批学生将于2026年入学。

总部位于中国深圳的格林美是全球城市矿产和新能源材料领域的先驱，以大规模回收电子废弃物和废旧电池闻名。公司开创了“城市矿山+新能源材料制造”的双轨模式，在为全球产业链提供关键材料的同时推动可持续发展。

该倡议得到了格林美董事长许开华教授的大力支持。作为中国循环经济的重要推动者，许教授长期强调人才培养与产业创新的结合，其远见卓识是推动本次国际合作的重要动力。

助力印尼下游产业战略

印尼高度重视矿产下游产业的发展，力图由单纯出口原材料转型为高附加值制造业强国。中印尼未来冶金学院的成立，有望直接助力这一国家战略，培养具备专业知识的高端人才，并推动可持续冶金创新。

“这笔启动资金标志着项目从规划走向落地。”日惹纳德拉特尔乌拉玛大学校长维迪亚·普里亚希塔·普吉布多佐表示，“我们感谢格林美的信任，也感谢许开华教授的远见卓识，这与印尼建设世界一流冶金科研和教育体系的雄心高度契合。”

随着土地的落实，日惹纳德拉特尔乌拉玛大学与格林美正筹备下一阶段：建设教学、科研和生活设施，为日惹成为区域可持续冶金创新中心奠定基础。
