Bina Nusantara (BINUS) University actively provides expert advice and policy guidance to local, regional, and national governments through the participation of its academic staff in public consultations, expert hearings, and advisory forums. These engagements reflect BINUS’s commitment to applying academic expertise for the advancement of society and the development of evidence-based public policy.

One notable example is BINUS University’s contribution to international affairs, where an expert in international law from BINUS was invited by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia to provide insights on the Palestine issue. This engagement demonstrates BINUS’s recognition at the national level as a credible academic institution capable of contributing to foreign policy discourse and offering scholarly perspectives that inform Indonesia’s diplomatic stance.

In addition, BINUS legal scholars have provided critical analyses and public commentaries on the implementation of the new Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP 2023), particularly concerning the existence of the death penalty within Indonesia’s legal framework. Through such expert commentaries, BINUS academics contribute to the national dialogue on legal reform, helping policymakers and the public understand the implications of legislative changes from a human rights and legal philosophy perspective.

BINUS also plays an active role in higher education policy transformation, as demonstrated by its participation in the national discussion “Menjaring Gagasan Transformasi Pendidikan Tinggi Hukum”. This initiative involved legal educators and policymakers in rethinking the direction of law education in Indonesia to align with contemporary needs and global standards, with BINUS representatives providing strategic input on curriculum innovation and competency-based legal training.

Moreover, BINUS lecturers have served as expert witnesses in legal proceedings, such as in the Kresna Life case, where a BINUS academic provided professional expertise in court. This contribution highlights the university’s applied engagement in national legal processes and its role in supporting judicial transparency and accountability.

Through these various forms of participation — from policy consultation and legal reform discussions to expert testimony — BINUS University demonstrates a consistent commitment to providing evidence-based expert advice to government bodies. This reflects the university’s broader mission to bridge academia and policy, ensuring that scholarly research and professional expertise contribute directly to shaping Indonesia’s governance, justice system, and public decision-making.
