It is inspired by the works and the accomplishments of Abdurrahman Wahid as an Indonesian and Islamic leader who always committed himself to inter-faith dialogues and world peace.
As a leading university in the world, University of Indonesia has to always advance its role not only in science, technology, research and academic; but also in developing a vision of humanist, dialog and peaceful world. Furthermore, the University of Indonesia is prepared to promote Indonesia to have a bigger role in world peace.
It is undeniable that Indonesia is one of the most pluralistic and multicultural countries in the world in terms of culture, tradition, religion and ethnicity. At the same time, Indonesia is also facing major changes within itself in relation to democratization and globalization movements around the world.
Indonesia’s world-standard politic and economic achievements have now brought the country to new challenges, both in solving domestic problems and its role in the world context. These political and economic changes are not resistant from the growing of social, cultural or even religious and faith conflicts.
