Community Engagement for Sustainability

Community Engagement at Universitas Indonesia

Impact-based Community Service and Social Innovation

As a higher education institution, Universitas Indonesia is committed to the Three Pillars of Higher Education (Tri Darma Perguruan Tinggi). In the realization of this commitment, Universitas Indonesia continuously develops community service programs for the purpose of improving community welfare as well as building sustainable collaborations with various stakeholders at the local, national, and international levels.

At Universitas Indonesia, community service programs are managed under the Directorate for Community Service and Social Innovation (DPIS). DPIS encourages multidisciplinary research and multisector collaboration in supporting social innovation and engagement programs that target independence and empowered communities. Outputs from activities operating under DPIS include popular media such as news, products, and policy briefs.

Advanced Materials Research Center (AMRC) was established to ensure that research outcomes have broad industrial and scientific applications. Leveraging Indonesia’s rich local mineral resources, AMRC focuses on developing nanostructured materials through wet-chemistry processes, transforming ilmenite and tin into semiconductor oxides such as titanium dioxide and tin oxide in diverse forms like nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanotubes. The center also explores the use of local plantations as reductors and templates for shaping these nanostructures. AMRC’s current projects aim to apply these advanced materials in solar energy harvesting, energy storage, and photocatalysis for pollutant degradation, thereby contributing to sustainable energy solutions and environmental protection.
