Strengthening Governance: UPH’s Multi-Level Strategic Partnership with the Government
TANGERANG, 2024 – In a strategic initiative to bridge the gap between academia and public administration, Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) has solidified its role as a pivotal partner in shaping governmental policy. Through dedicated collaborations at the local, regional, and national levels, UPH is actively contributing its expertise to foster informed governance and drive national progress, demonstrating a profound commitment to translating knowledge into impactful public action.
This commitment is powerfully illustrated by the university’s formal collaboration with the Tangerang City Government. The recent Memorandum of Understanding focuses on leveraging the university’s strengths in education, research, and community service to directly support the city’s development goals. This partnership ensures that local policymaking is reinforced by in-depth academic research and expert insights; creating a solid foundation for initiatives, evidence-based policy recommendations, and technical advice that enhance the well-being of the community. By working hand-in-hand with local government leaders, UPH is helping to craft innovative and effective solutions to urban challenges.
On a broader scale, UPH has distinguished itself as a vital forum for national policy discourse. The university recently had the honor of hosting the “Kemenkeu Satu Banten 2024” event, a high-profile public lecture organized by the Ministry of Finance. This event transformed the campus into a hub for crucial discussions on the national economic landscape and the State Budget. By facilitating this dialogue, UPH provides an essential platform for government bodies to engage with the public and future leaders, thereby strengthening the nation’s capacity to navigate global economic challenges and underscoring the university’s role as a trusted partner in regional and national development.
Further extending its influence, UPH is enhancing its synergy with key national stakeholders to inform economic strategy. The university’s collaboration with the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) is a testament to its proactive approach in aligning academic curricula with industrial needs. This alliance not only prepares graduates for the workforce but also positions UPH as a key contributor to the national economic agenda. By providing research and strategic advice to the nation’s leading business organization, the university indirectly offers invaluable expertise to the government, helping to shape policies that drive innovation and economic growth.
Through these multi-level engagements, Universitas Pelita Harapan continues to build upon its legacy of service and excellence. The university’s dedicated efforts in providing expert advice have established it as an indispensable ally for the government, consistently delivering the intellectual capital necessary for robust and effective governance for a better Indonesia.
