Policy and Strategy

Determination of priority areas for research direction before 2020 at the University of Indonesia level is based on various sources, such as the National Research Council, Directorate General of Higher Education, DRPM analysis and input from experts and UI leaders. Ten research focuses at the University of Indonesia before 2020 were formulated in the UI Research Master Plan Book for 2012, including (1) Government, Democracy, and Policy Studies, (2) Indigenous Studies, (3) Nano and Advanced Technology, (4) Genome, (5) ICT, (6) Culture, (7) Energy, (8) Urban Studies and Transportation, (9) Poverty Alleviation, Child Family and Community, (10) Restoring The Earth's Natural Support System. In order to align research and innovation, UI's research focus themes were revised using a new perspective, namely continuity between basic research and its application and development to solve national and world problems. Based on this, based on the Chancellor's Decree No. 1738/SK/R/UI/2020, the research focus of the University of Indonesia has been streamlined into 5 research focuses, namely (1) Health and welfare, (2) energy and material resources, (3) innovative and connected society, (4) earth, climate, and environment and (5) resilience and security. The journey of direction and focus of research at the University of Indonesia can be seen in Figure 2 below.
