Abstract

In an era of increasing global complexity, collaboration between universities is a must to optimize resources, expand impact, and accelerate the achievement of the SDGs. This study examines various initiatives taken by university leaders in Indonesia in building strategic partnerships, exchange programs, joint research projects, and collaborative platforms focused on the SDGs. Through the analysis of case studies from five leading universities in Indonesia, this article identifies best practices, key challenges, and key success factors in building synergies between universities. The findings show that visionary leadership, effective communication, and flexible governance structures are important elements in initiating and maintaining productive collaboration. Additionally, this article also discusses how college leaders can leverage technology and innovation to facilitate remote collaboration and more efficient knowledge exchange. The results of the study illustrate that synergy between universities not only increases institutional contributions to the SDGs, but also strengthens the position of universities as agents of change in sustainable development. This article concludes by presenting a strategic framework for university leaders to design, implement, and evaluate collaborative initiatives focused on the SDGs. The implications of this study provide valuable insights for higher education policymakers and institutional leaders in maximizing the role of higher education in achieving the 2030 global agenda.
