The Faculty of Public Health (FPH) Universitas Indonesia (UI) has officially established a strategic collaboration with Human Factors Indonesia (HFI) through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Friday, May 16, 2025. Held at the Auditorium of Building G, FPH UI, the event marked the beginning of a sustained collaboration between an academic institution and a professional community in developing the science and practice of Human Factors in Indonesia.
Human Factors Indonesia (HFI) is an association formed by enthusiasts and professionals in the field of human factors. It aims to enhance human performance by applying the science of human factors to promote safer, more productive, and well-being-centered work. HFI serves as a cross-sector collaborative platform that encourages the application of human factors principles across various industries. The organization is officially registered under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia, with a decree issued on October 24, 2022.
The MoU was signed by Prof. Dr. Mondastri Korib Sudaryo, M.S., D.Sc., Dean of FPH UI, and Capt. Nurcahyo Utomo, Dipl.TSI., Chair of HFI, witnessed by faculty leaders, lecturers, and students from both undergraduate and postgraduate programs at FPH UI. This collaboration includes the organization of joint academic activities, professional training, and research initiatives in the field of Human Factors.
In her remarks, Prof. Mondastri emphasized that the partnership aligns with FPH UI’s vision to be a center of excellence in public health science, particularly in addressing strategic issues in occupational safety and health (OSH). “This MoU is a concrete step toward strengthening cross-sector collaboration. Through this synergy with HFI, we hope to promote the development of contextual and practical Human Factors knowledge to address various workplace challenges in Indonesia,” said Prof. Mondastri.
Capt. Nurcahyo Utomo also highlighted the importance of academic support in expanding the application of Human Factors principles in industry. He stated that this collaboration is more than a symbolic document—it is a foundation for creating science-based safety innovations. “We believe this collaboration will generate real benefits for education, industry, and society at large,” he said.
The MoU is also expected to pave the way for internship programs, knowledge exchange, and capacity building for both faculty and students in understanding and applying Human Factors approaches in the Indonesian context. FPH UI and HFI share a vision to build work systems that are not only efficient and productive but also place humans at the center of the system.
The MoU signing was a key part of a public lecture titled “Human Factors: Concept and Practice” held on the same day. The combination of academic dialogue and institutional collaboration reflects FPH UI’s commitment to remain at the forefront of public health education that responds to the evolving dynamics of work and industry. Through this partnership, FPH UI and HFI are ready to move forward together in shaping a healthier, safer, and more sustainable work ecosystem for Indonesia’s future. (DFD)
