A Message from Universitas Indonesia’s Rector

We give praise and thanks to God Almighty, for with His grace, we have been able to complete the Universitas Indonesia (UI) Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) Report for the 2025-2026 period. With the title of ‘Research in Motion: Accelerating Sustainability’, we release this 2025-2026 SDGs
Report as a concrete form of UI’s accountability towards our commitment to contribute towards addressing global issues that are the focus of the SDGs through research and innovation. Through this report, we highlight the strategic steps we have taken to realize the SDGs within UI’s scope as a higher education institution, namely through the Tridarma of Higher Education: teaching, research, and community service. In line with UI’s Strategic Plan for 2025-2029, UI’s efforts in achieving the successful realization of the SDGs are done through the lenses of high-impact research and innovation, entrepreneurship, global competitiveness, increase of access and quality of education, as well as effective governance practices and cultural transformation.

With the awareness of sustainability as a continuous journey in mind, we view UI’s achievements during the 2025-2026 period as a solid foundation for UI’s aspirations for our future. In the 2026-2027 period and beyond, we will strive to continue upholding transparency in the implementation of sustainability at every step of UI’s journey.
