Participatory Bodies for Stakeholder Engagement
The involvement of local stakeholders in university decision-making is demonstrated through:
- Binus Advisory Board
The Binus Advisory Board consists of representatives from industry, government, academia, and associations. This board provides guidance and input to program managers regarding academic affairs, reputation, research, and graduate employability. The board meets regularly to discuss relevant issues, ensuring that stakeholder feedback is incorporated into decision-making.
- Curriculum Design: Program departments invite speakers from various fields to provide input. For example, during the development of the Master’s program in Industrial Engineering, stakeholders provided feedback on the importance of system thinking frameworks and modeling, as well as curriculum direction toward smart manufacturing and sustainability. This collaboration ensures that graduates are well-prepared to contribute to the digital transformation era in various companies in Indonesia and globally.
- BINUS Industry Partnership Program (BIPP)
The BIPP is a mutually beneficial collaboration between BINUS and participating companies. This program serves as a platform for sharing information and developments between the industry and the educational world. The alignment of supply and demand in the internship program, which is part of BIPP, exemplifies the commitment between industry players and the university. The concept of “partner” in BIPP aims to produce job-ready graduates. Each year, BINUS organizes BIPP gatherings and strategic meetings, along with visits to leading companies, to gain insights into industrial operations and innovative practices. This initiative enhances the quality of BINUS graduates and serves as a networking bridge to improve graduate outcomes in the future.
