BINUS University undertakes educational outreach activities beyond its campuses both on an ad-hoc basis and on a programmed basis, including tailored training, workshops, community education, external-school learning activities, and voluntary student-run schemes. These activities are delivered by BINUS faculty members and students directly to external schools and local communities, providing practical learning opportunities to beneficiaries outside BINUS’s formal student population.

Ad-hoc activities

  BINUS conducted an educational outreach programme at Sekolah Indonesia Bangkok, reaching 30 external participants consisting of 20 students and 10 teachers. The programme included workshops and learning sessions on cross-cultural learning, educational board games, critical thinking, and creative communication for educators.

These activities demonstrate BINUS University’s educational outreach both on an ad-hoc basis and through programmed initiatives, involving faculty-led training, community-based education, external-school outreach, and voluntary student-run learning activities. The activities extend BINUS’s educational expertise beyond its physical campuses and formal student population to local entrepreneurs, community residents, teachers, and school students.

BINUS University extends lifelong learning beyond its enrolled students through free public seminars, knowledge-sharing activities, and community educational programmes. In 2025, these free activities provided external participants—including the wider community, workers, entrepreneurs, local communities, and the broader academic community—with access to university-based knowledge and practical skills.

1. Ad Hoc Events

• Public lectures and knowledge-sharing

On 12 July 2025, BINUS University conducted Knowledge Sharing: Chances & Challenges of Industry 4.0 Workforce via Zoom. The activity was designed to reach the wider community without geographical limitations and provided learning on workforce transformation, emerging technologies, labour-market changes, and the skills needed to remain relevant in the Industry 4.0 era. This provided accessible lifelong-learning content to participants beyond BINUS’s enrolled students.

• Community educational events

In 2025, BINUS conducted Laporan Keuangan Sederhana UMKM dan Analisa Laporan Keuangan. The educational webinar provided practical training on preparing and analysing financial statements for small businesses. By targeting external UMKM and community entrepreneurs, the activity extended BINUS’s educational resources to people outside its formal student population and provided directly applicable financial-management skills.

2. Events Conducted on a Programme Basis

• Public lectures and seminar series

In 2025, BINUS University collaborated with other NUNI member universities and international partners in organising the NUNI International Seminar Series #10, held online from 24–28 November 2025. The seminar, themed “Thriving in the Digital Age: Balancing Mental Health, Well-being, and Sustainability in a Hyperconnected World,” was open to the public and offered free participation in English, with e-certificates available. The event provided external participants with access to educational discussions on mental health, well-being, and sustainability in the digital age. As part of an organised international seminar series, this collaborative initiative demonstrates BINUS University’s contribution to programme-based public learning opportunities beyond its enrolled student population.

• Community educational programmes

From 6–9 May 2025, BINUS conducted Penguatan Literasi Digital: Pelatihan Dasar Komputer Internet untuk Masyarakat in Desa Ciputri, Cianjur. The programme targeted village officials and UMKM operators and provided hands-on training in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to strengthen digital skills for village administration and small-business activities.

These activities demonstrate BINUS’s provision of lifelong learning through both ad-hoc events and programmed educational activities, reaching external participants beyond its enrolled student population. Through public seminars, workforce knowledge-sharing, financial education for entrepreneurs, and practical digital-literacy training for local communities, BINUS provides structured educational opportunities and skills development for external participants.

BINUS University is committed to ensuring inclusive and equitable access to educational activities for all individuals, regardless of ethnicity, religion, disability, gender, or socio-economic background. This commitment is formalized through:

• Rector’s Decree No. 0136A, which contains provisions to eliminate barriers and promote equal participation (PART II, points E, F, and G).

• Rector’s Circular Letter No. 1677A/REK/IX/2023 on Anti-Discrimination and Anti-Violence, which enforces a Zero Tolerance Policy against all forms of discrimination and violence within the university community.

Key points outlined in the Circular Letter include:

• BINUS University stands firmly against all forms of discrimination and violence, both physical and psychological.

• All incidents of discrimination or violence must be reported immediately through official campus channels.

• Reports are handled confidentially, with thorough investigations to ensure integrity and fairness.

• Violations of the policy may result in disciplinary actions, ranging from warnings to more severe penalties in accordance with university regulations.

In addition to these policies, BINUS University explicitly applies a non-discrimination policy in its admissions process, ensuring equal opportunities for all prospective students without bias based on ethnicity, religion, race, social group, gender, or social and political status. This commitment particularly extends to individuals who require financial assistance and/or have disabilities, guaranteeing that these factors do not become obstacles to accessing higher education.

To operationalize these principles, BINUS University implements several key initiatives:

• Accessible facilities: including wheelchair ramps, assistive technologies in classrooms, and other accommodations to support students with disabilities.

• Affirmation Scholarship Program: providing financial aid to students from low-income and underprivileged regions to reduce economic barriers to education.

• Awareness and training programs: ongoing anti-discrimination and inclusivity training for students, faculty, and staff to promote a respectful and supportive campus culture.

Through this comprehensive framework of policies and programs, BINUS University ensures equitable access to all educational activities for all members of its community, reflecting its mission to foster a safe, diverse, and empowering learning environment.
