The speech contained information about the existence of PPSDM BMKG Jakarta and the flagship program, namely 500 masters and doctorates for BMKG staff, which has currently only reached 253 consisting of masters and doctoral graduates. It takes a university that will help to achieve this goal. There are 7 domestic universities that have been designated for this purpose. The obstacles experienced by students in completing their studies were also conveyed. The discussions that emerged included: (1) Something new offered by the Physics Masters Study Program which aims to accelerate the study period while maintaining quality, (2) Opportunities for the involvement of external supervisors (from BMKG) to be involved in supervising BMKG Jakarta class students, (3) Submission of Cluster Research Topics along with their PICs, and (4) Initiation of Cooperation between the Physics Masters Study Program and PPSDM BMKG, and (4) Draft of Cooperation documents to be prepared immediately.
