BINUS University actively participates in international collaboration related to data gathering and measurement for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2024, this was demonstrated through several initiatives involving global academic networks, applied research, and education-based data practices.

UN SDGs Open Pedagogy Summit – Asia Chapter (2024)
In June 2024, BINUS co-hosted the UN SDGs Open Pedagogy Summit – Asia Chapter in collaboration with Montgomery College (USA), along with academic partners from the Passage to ASEAN (P2A) and the Nusantara Higher Education Network (NUNI). This international summit focused on integrating SDG themes into higher education teaching and learning.

As a key outcome, participating faculty—including those from BINUS—developed and shared classroom-based assignments that engaged students in collecting and analyzing local data related to sustainability challenges, such as social inequality, community health, waste management, and access to education. These assignments were designed not only to deepen student understanding of the SDGs, but also to generate grassroots-level data across different regions and countries.

This approach enabled BINUS and its international partners to gather and compare educational outcomes and community-level insights across diverse socio-economic contexts. The summit served as a model of how higher education institutions can contribute to SDG data collection in a participatory, scalable, and collaborative way—especially in the domain of SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

ICEED 2024

Held under the theme “Green and Sustainable Engineering for Climate Resilience,” ICEED 2024 brought together researchers, engineers, and academics from various countries to discuss innovations in sustainable engineering, renewable energy, environmental management, and infrastructure design. BINUS University participated as both a co-organizer and contributor, presenting peer-reviewed research that included empirical data and engineering-based solutions for climate adaptation and sustainable resource use.

The conference facilitated the exchange of data-driven research, technical findings, and methodologies that contribute to global knowledge in sustainable engineering—directly supporting the international community’s efforts to track progress and develop solutions aligned with the SDGs.

ICEZ 2024

In parallel, BINUS also played an active role in ICEZ 2024, which carried the theme “Empowering Digital Innovation and Green Technology for Sustainable Cities.” This conference focused on smart city development, environmental technologies, digital infrastructure, and green innovation. It was attended by international experts, researchers, and institutions who shared case studies, frameworks, and datasets that reflect current progress toward building sustainable and livable urban environments.

BINUS contributed through collaborative research presentations and publications, particularly in areas such as smart energy systems, waste management innovation, and urban digital transformation. The conference served as a platform for data sharing and benchmarking urban sustainability efforts across different countries.

Pada kesempatan kali ini saya diundang mewakili Wayang Plastik untuk terlibat sebagai Keynote Speaker ICEZ 2024. Storytelling Through Waste for a Sustainable Future atau Bertutur melalui limbah untuk masa depan yang berkelanjutan.

Both conferences served as platforms for international collaboration, where BINUS University contributed through research presentations, joint publications, and academic networking. These activities involved the exchange of data, methodologies, and findings that support global efforts in measuring and monitoring progress toward the SDGs.

These efforts also demonstrate BINUS’s dedication to being part of a global academic community that plays a role in informing policy, guiding innovation, and fostering sustainable development through research-based evidence.
