Video series: The value of collaboration with Indonesia
Researchers from Leiden and Indonesia work together on a range of projects on topics such as disappearing languages and cultures, the role of Islam, circular economy, biodiversity and medicine. They also work on projects to improve legal education and make Dutch sources and Indonesian heritage accessible to Indonesian researchers.
What shape does this collaboration take? What is the value for researchers from Leiden and Indonesia? We explain in three short films.
History from an Asian perspective
The first film highlights the cooperation with Indonesian historians. They are being trained in making Dutch source material available in order to arrive at a historiography from an Asian perspective.

The second film focuses on the decades-long cooperation between the LUMC and the Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Indonesia in the area of infectious and inflammatory diseases. The shift to non-communicable diseases since urbanisation is an important focus for the joint research.

Videos on China and Latin America
This is the first part of a video series on regions we collaborate with. In the next two weeks, we will post videos about China and Latin America.
Leiden University and internationalisation
Research doesn’t stop at our national borders. Every day we work hard to make Leiden University a local hub for global challenges. We train Dutch and international students to become world citizens, and focus on issues close to home and further afield. The knowledge and insights that arise from bringing together national and international perspectives lead to stronger teaching and research. To achieve this researchers and staff work closely with colleagues in almost all of the countries in the world. Leiden University also has cooperation agreements with certain countries/regions, including China, Indonesia and Latin America.
