Our Expertise

We have reached the last quarter of 2023. This month, SMERU engaged in numerous discussions with policymakers. In addition, we organized the 2023 Forum Pembangunan Daerah (FPD), or the Regional Development Forum in Kupang, in collaboration with the Provincial Government of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT).

The August issue of Nawala SMERU highlights some of our latest publications. These include a web story showcasing digital infographics and posters of research based on children's perspectives, a report on the startup ecosystem in Indonesia, and a scientific article analyzing the impact of Village Fund transfers on village well-being in Indonesia.

In the July issue, we bring you a variety of information derived from SMERU’s research. These include a policy brief on recovering learning losses during the COVID-19 pandemic, a popular scientific article discussing the challenges faced by children from single-parent households in accessing education, and a policy brief on development and economic prosperity published by Think7.

SMERU actively disseminates the results of its research through various events. Apart from being a manifestation of our responsibility as a research institution, the research dissemination events are a means of introducing SMERU's research results to a wide audience, including policymakers.

We celebrate National Education Day every May. Enhancing aspects of our education system is crucial to delivering higher quality and inclusive education.
