SMART CITY UI, a sub-awardee of the University of Notre Dame, has successfully conducted research on the Innovation Ecosystem Study and HEI Financial Sustainability Study in Indonesia for the past two years as part of the Indonesian HEIGHTS Study of the SHARE Project. The team finally disseminated their research findings and preliminary recommendations at the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES 2024) in Miami, US, on 13 March 2024, alongside the Philippines and Kenya, which are the country partners of the HEIGHTS Study.
During the presentation, the team discussed the barriers and enablers for fostering sustainable change through higher education-driven innovation. The team also presented a cross-national analysis of the financial sustainability of higher education institutions in LMICs.
The SMART CITY UI team's research findings and preliminary recommendations are expected to have a significant impact on the higher education sector in Indonesia and other LMICs, providing insights into how higher education institutions can drive innovation while ensuring financial sustainability.
