The UGM Research Directorate has undergone significant institutional changes. Initially established in 2007 as the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM), it later evolved into three divisions in 2015: the Directorate of Research, the Directorate of Community Service, and the Publishing and Publication Board. Following a recent reorganization in June 2023 under UGM's Rector Regulation No. 10 of 2023, the Publishing and Publication Board merged into the Directorate of Research UGM. Structurally positioned under the Vice Rector for Research, Business Development, and Cooperation, the Directorate of Research oversees research programs, scientific publications, intellectual property management, and other delegated functions to enhance research excellence at UGM.
