On February 15, 2025, PT Geo Fix Indonesia, PT Minera Nusa Drillindo, and PT Tekminera Nuestra Tierragua, in collaboration with the Indonesian Association of Geologists (IAGI), the Indonesian Society of Economic Geologists (MGEI), and Universitas Padjadjaran (UNPAD), proudly presented the Economic Geology Research Excellence Award 2025.
This prestigious award, which includes a cash prize of IDR 20,000,000, was granted to Prof. Ferian Anggara of the Department of Geological Engineering, Universitas Gadjah Mada, in recognition of his exceptional contributions to the field of economic geology.
Over the past three years, Prof. Anggara has produced a substantial body of work published in top-tier international journals, demonstrating both advanced expertise and innovative research. His registered intellectual property—including patents and trademarks—further reflects his commitment to advancing the intersection of academic research and industry practice.
The Economic Geology Research Excellence Award (EGREA) is designed to be awarded triennially to at least one Indonesian researcher—particularly those affiliated with government institutions—whose work represents a significant contribution to the field of economic geology and, more broadly, to Indonesia’s mining sector. Candidates are assessed based on peer-reviewed publications and registered intellectual property within the last three years.
This recognition not only honors Prof. Anggara’s impactful achievements but also underscores the vital role of research in supporting Indonesia’s geological and mining industries.
