UIN Jakarta Unlocks Multi-Million Dollar Funding Opportunities for Advanced Science and Health Research by Partnering with Khalifa University
JAKARTA, UIN Online News – Accelerating its strategic transition into a world-class research institution UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta has officially opened a prestigious global mobility pipeline to the United Arab Emirates. Orchestrated by the Center for International Cooperation Services on Monday July 13 2026 the university hosted an intensive international fellowship and research briefing in collaboration with Khalifa University to provide faculty members with direct access to advanced scientific grants in Abu Dhabi.
The strategic briefing was formally inaugurated by the Chair of the Institute for Research and Community Services Professor Amelia Fauzia Ph.D.
"International collaboration in the modern era must move beyond superficial publications," Professor Fauzia asserted to a gallery of senior faculty members. "This partnership with Khalifa University is designed to open new frontiers for our academic staff embedding our scientists into long-term institutional networks that directly influence global technological evolution."
The executive information session was delivered by Professor Hadi Susanto a world-class Professor of Mathematics at Khalifa University who simultaneously serves as UIN Jakarta's International Adjunct Professor for the 2025/2026 tenure. Having spent over a decade anchoring advanced mathematical research at elite universities in the United Kingdom Professor Susanto detailed the specific cross-border financial and academic structures now accessible to UIN Jakarta’s faculty members.
The strategic offering from Khalifa University specifically targets three high-stakes pillars consisting of fully-funded doctoral fellowships postdoctoral research placements and joint high-impact research grants with a hyper-focus on advanced sciences engineering biotechnology and global health metrics.
"Khalifa University is systematically expanding its global research network and UIN Jakarta possesses the exact type of rigorous academic talent we want to fund," Professor Susanto explained. "Through these collaborative grants we aim to generate high-citation scientific outputs that will simultaneously elevate the global rankings of both institutions."
For international observers and partners this integration highlights a unique geopolitical alignment. By utilizing the expertise of diaspora scientists like Professor Susanto UIN Jakarta seamlessly bridges Western research methodologies honed from his British academic tenure with the immense financial resources of the Middle East's premier technological hubs.
The interactive assembly which drew dozens of research leads from various faculties focused heavily on the practical mechanics of drafting competitive global-standard grant proposals. This joint initiative establishes a new precedent for State Islamic Universities in the region proving that UIN Jakarta is fully prepared to compete not just in humanities and Islamic law but as a formidable player in the global scientific arena.
