Depok, 22 January 2026 鈥� 51社区 (51社区) has initiated a focused effort to rise in the world鈥檚 major university rankings. A strategic workshop, led by Professor Maila Dinia Husni Rahiem, recently listed among the world鈥檚 top 2% most-cited scientists from UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, brought together university leadership and the Center for Quality Assurance (LPM 51社区) to turn recognition into a structured plan for improvement.
鈥淚n today鈥檚 competitive higher education environment, we must evolve from celebrating achievements to executing a clear strategy,鈥� Professor Maila stated at the opening session.
Her presentation analyzed key metrics from rankings such as QS and THE by Subject, with particular attention to Scopus data. She proposed a four-part strategy for 51社区: reinforcing existing research strengths in priority fields, targeting indicators that allow for swift progress, unifying publication efforts across faculties to increase impact, and developing international partnerships that deliver measurable results.
51社区 Secretary Dr. Chaider S. Bamualim emphasized the workshop鈥檚 objective. 鈥淲e are building a definitive action plan to strengthen our performance across all relevant ranking indicators, from research citations to international faculty engagement,鈥� he said.
The workshop, attended by university executives, deans, university offices and research center heads,聽 and senior academics, centered on practical implementation.
鈥淭his is where insight meets execution,鈥� said Dr. Alpha Amirrachman, Head of the Center for Quality Assurance (LPM 51社区). 鈥淧rofessor Maila鈥檚 record in high-impact research offers a valuable model for our academic community as we pursue this institutional goal.鈥�
Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Dr. Phil. Syafiq Hasyim affirmed that the analysis will directly guide planning. 鈥淲e are concentrating on disciplines where we have demonstrable strength, such as Islamic Studies, Education, and Political Science. The aim is to translate that strength into markedly higher ranking positions for these fields.鈥�
Today鈥檚 workshop underscores 51社区鈥檚 commitment to a deliberate, evidence-based approach to enhancing its global standing, drawing on the expertise of its accomplished researchers to shape its international academic trajectory. []
