The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (MIPA) at Udayana University has received an invitation to visit the School of Culture, History, and Language (CHL) at the Australian National University (ANU) in November 2023. The delegation includes:
This visit is a part of the ongoing staff exchange and collaborative efforts between CHL/ANU and Udayana University, aligning with the establishment of the joint center known as the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on the Humanities and Social Sciences (CIRHSS) in 2019 (https://www.cirhss.org ).
The delegation will be engaged in the renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and the initiation of a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for new collaborative projects. A/Professor Pramartha, the CIRHSS Team Leader for Digital Humanities, will deliver a presentation and participate in collaborative work with A/Professor Ross Tapsell and other academic staff members to drive future research in digital humanities.
The collaborative efforts between ANU and Udayana, facilitated by CIHRSS, have yielded significant productivity, particularly in the field of linguistic research. Notably, the involvement of Professor I Wayan Arka (ANU) and A/Professor Pramartha (Udayana University) in the Enggano Project(https://enggano.ling-phil.ox.ac.uk ) is a testament to this productive collaboration. The Udayana team’s visit to ANU holds substantial importance for advancing the collaborative efforts and research endeavors, especially within the broader domain of digital humanities.”
Udayana University (Unud), represented by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (MIPA), is actively pursuing a collaboration with a prestigious university. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been formally signed between Udayana University and the esteemed Oxford University in England. This significant international research partnership with the world’s top-ranked university is indeed a reason to celebrate. It promises to enhance the visibility and reputation of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, particularly the Informatics Study Program, and Udayana University on a global scale.
The research project, spanning two years, also enjoys substantial financial support from the British government. The involvement of Dr. Cokorda Rai Adi Pramartha, a distinguished faculty member and researcher from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences’ Informatics Study Program, is a testament to the university’s commitment to its Key Performance Indicators (IKU), notably IKU 3 (faculty engagement beyond the campus) and IKU 6 (partnerships with world-class institutions).
On Tuesday, 7 February 2023, at the 1st Floor Meeting Room for Postgraduate Studies at Udayana University, Denpasar, a meeting was held between the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Udayana University and Dr. Ross Tapsel, lecturer from Australia National University (ANU). The meeting initiated by Cokorda Rai Adi Pramartha, ST.MM.PhD was approved and also attended by the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Udayana University, Dra. Ni Luh Watiniasih, M.Sc., Ph.D.
The meeting was an initial step to get to know the two parties better and as an assessment of cooperation between the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Udayana University and the Australia National University (ANU). For information, dr. Ross Tapsell is a researcher at the Australia National University’s College of Asia and the Pacific, particularly in Southeast Asian media. It is hoped that from this meeting a cooperation agreement will be made, especially in the field of Joint Research and Guest Lectures.

Enggano, with about 1500 speakers, is spoken on Enggano Island, off the southern coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, with a population of about 4000. Enggano is classified as “threatened”: only the elder generation are fully competent and fluent speakers. Many children speak Indonesian and little to no Enggano. Intensified contact with non-Enggano speakers is likely to continue and spread throughout the island, to the detriment of Enggano.
Our work on the Enggano language began with a pilot visit in February 2018, where we met with elders of the five Enggano clans, recorded some traditional stories, and worked with some younger speakers to record some verbal paradigms. We also visited an elementary school and the high school, discussed our project with the headmasters and some of the teachers, and gave presentations about our project to the students.
In 2018-2019 we received funding to continue the project from the Endangered Language Fund (2018-19) and Oxford’s John Fell fund (2018-19). In 2019 we were awarded a grant by the Arts & Humanities Research Council, UK for the project Enggano in the Austronesian family: Historical and typological perspectives, and in 2022 we were awarded a second AHRC grant, Lexical resources for Enggano, a threatened language of Indonesia.
