Denpasar, July 6, 2026 – Udayana University, through the Bachelor of English Literature in the Faculty of Humanities, has once again demonstrated its commitment to being an "Impactful Campus." This was realized by organizing a Workshop and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to prepare for the deployment of the mobile application "Nyastra" to the Google Play Store. The event, themed "Commercialization of Digital Balinese Script Learning Research Innovation," was held in a hybrid format at the Hotel Grand Mirah in Denpasar and attended by representatives from the research team, industry partners, teachers, students, and other relevant stakeholders.

The event was officially opened by the Coordinator of the Bachelor of English Literature, Dr. I Gusti Ngurah Parthama, S.S., M.Hum. In his opening remarks, he emphasized that this workshop was not merely a technical meeting but tangible proof of the direct impact of lecturers' research on society. "This is a very important activity. We are not only discussing theory in the classroom, but also how the innovations from Udayana University researchers can be implemented, address community needs, and preserve our cultural heritage. This is the essence of the Impactful Campus," he stated enthusiastically.

The "Nyastra" mobile application itself is the result of innovative research developed by a team of lecturers led by Prof. Dr. I Wayan Mulyawan, S.S., M.Hum. This application serves as a tool for Balinese script transliteration and as a medium for learning the Balinese script. It allows users to easily convert Latin text to Balinese script and vice versa.

The workshop facilitated in-depth discussions and a shared commitment to ensure the application's readiness. The technical focus centered on finalizing the program code, optimizing performance, and conducting rigorous tests to ensure the application's quality and reliability before its public launch. From an administrative standpoint, comprehensive preparation steps for the Play Store platform were agreed upon, including the creation of graphic assets, the drafting of compelling application descriptions, and the design of transparent privacy policies. Furthermore, the workshop successfully devised a sustainability strategy involving all stakeholders. Promotion and socialization plans will be carried out synergistically, engaging school partners for direct education within the academic environment, industry partners to strengthen sustainability, and students in active roles in digital campaigns. The discussions also highlighted the importance of post-launch technical support mechanisms and user feedback collection to ensure continuous development.

"Today's collaboration demonstrates that successful research commercialisation requires strong synergy among three main pillars: academics as innovators, educational partners as grassroots adoption drivers, industry partners as value and sustainability enhancers, and the wider community as active users and custodians of the culture itself. The “Nyastra” application is concrete proof of this collaborative model," said the team leader at the closing of the event.

The deployment of the "Nyastra" mobile application is not only a strategic step towards the commercialization of research products, but also a real-world model of how a university can become a canter for solution-oriented innovation that directly impacts education and the preservation of local culture in the digital era.
