🎓 Another proud achievement has been made by an Indonesian son on the international academic stage. The Indonesian Embassy in Warsaw attended the academic award ceremony held by the Poznań City Government for Indonesian student Iskandar Azmy Harahap, on 28 April 2026 at Poznań City Hall. At this prestigious academic awards event — now in its 22nd edition — Iskandar Azmy Harahap, a doctoral graduate of Poznań University of Life Sciences, received the highest award in the doctoral dissertation category for his research entitled *"The Study on the Impact of Isoflavones and Probiotics on Calcium Bioaccessibility and Calcium Status – In Vitro and In Vivo Studies"*, conducted under the supervision of Prof. dr hab. Joanna Suliburska. The research highlights the use of plant-based food ingredients, particularly tempeh, and probiotics to improve calcium metabolism and bone health. These findings make an important contribution to addressing global health challenges, especially the prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. During his studies, Iskandar also produced approximately 20 reputable international scientific publications and obtained a patent from the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland. Out of a total of 99 scientific works submitted this year, only 17 of the best received awards. This achievement is tangible proof of the quality of Indonesian human resources at the global level, while also strengthening Indonesia's contribution to the development of science and international innovation. Congratulations to Iskandar Azmy Harahap on this extraordinary achievement. May this accomplishment inspire the younger generation of Indonesians to continue creating and excelling on the world stage.
