On Tuesday, 17th June 2025, we proudly hosted the first InSPIRE Workshop: Connecting Minds, Expanding Horizons & Creating Impact at BINUS University, Jakarta.
With over 80 representatives from universities across Indonesia, the event sparked vibrant discussions on internationalisation, artificial intelligence, and collaborative research. The workshop marked the formal introduction of InSPIRE—a dynamic network designed to foster partnerships between universities in Indonesia and Scotland, focusing on education, research, and knowledge exchange.
This event is just the beginning. We’re excited to deepen the connections we’ve made and build a strong, sustainable platform for global academic collaboration.
