A Brief History of the Establishment of the Higher Education Center of Excellence for Educational Resilience, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta

The Higher Education Center of Excellence for Educational Resilience at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (PUI-PT EDURE UNY) was established in 2022 under Decree No. 264.3/UN34/I/2022 as a strategic response to the growing challenges in education during the hyper-digital society era. This era is marked by the massive integration of technology across all sectors, creating vulnerabilities such as economic disruption, information overload, cyberattacks, digital literacy gaps, and shifting socio-cultural dynamics. These conditions demand strong adaptive capabilities, specifically digital and social resilience for individuals, communities, and institutions.

Resilience serves as the foundation for national endurance and sustainable development. Developed nations have placed digital, social, and cultural resilience at the forefront of their development priorities. Indonesia requires a center of excellence focused on resilience innovation to support societal endurance against technological shifts, sustain the creative economy and digital MSMEs, strengthen social capital within the digital realm, build an inclusive innovation ecosystem, and promote quality, sustainable education. In a digital society, resilience means more than just "surviving"; it implies the ability to "thrive and innovate amid disruption." Within this context, higher education institutions play a strategic role in responding adaptively to safeguard sustainable educational development.

The establishment of PUI-PT EDURE UNY was grounded in research findings and community service practices indicating that resilience is a pivotal factor in enhancing academic endurance, psychosocial well-being, and effective educational governance. However, developing educational resilience still requires an integrated, systematic, and evidence-based approach. Institutionally, PUI-PT EDURE UNY supports UNY's vision to become a world-class educational university that is outstanding, creative, and sustainably innovative.

The mission of PUI-PT EDURE UNY is to execute leading research in educational resilience development to support product creation, innovative learning media development, research facilitation and training, as well as assistance for resilience-building in families, schools, and communities.
