BINUS University actively initiates and participates in cross-sectoral dialogues addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), bringing together government, NGOs, academia, and industry to collaborate on global challenges.

One major initiative is the BINUS Indo-Pacific Forum and BINUS Joint International Conference (BJIC), held in Bali in August 2024. The event featured prominent leaders such as Stephen Wahyudi Santoso (President of BINUS Higher Education & Professional Services), Dr. Nelly (Rector of BINUS University), and Prof. Dr. Tirta N. Mursitama (Deputy Minister for Investment Cooperation of Indonesia), who emphasized the importance of global partnerships and the pentahelix model for cross-sectoral collaboration. Diplomats such as H.E. Gina Alagon Jamoralin, the Philippine Ambassador to Indonesia, also underlined the role of regional cooperation for a sustainable future.

The conference included multiple specialized events, such as the International Conference on Biospheric Harmony (ICOBAR), which explored how digital technologies can drive sustainability. Keynote speakers from institutions like the University of New South Wales and Universiti Sains Malaysia shared strategies to integrate technology with sustainable practices, aligning with the Indo-Pacific Forum’s mission to foster innovation for a sustainable future.

In addition, BINUS participated in the International Conference on Sustainable Energy, Environment, Education, and Information Systems (ICSEEIS 2024), where Business Law faculty presented research on the role of artificial intelligence in legal reform, particularly in Indonesia’s evolving death penalty policies. This reflects BINUS’s broader commitment to convening dialogues that merge technology, law, and ethics in the pursuit of justice and sustainable governance.

Through these platforms, BINUS demonstrates its commitment to driving impactful research, education, and cross-sectoral collaboration—ensuring that academic insight, government policies, NGO expertise, and industry innovation intersect to advance the SDGs.
