Telkom University integrates sustainability into higher education through specialized courses, interdisciplinary learning, and energy-focused academic programs. By incorporating sustainability principles across its seven faculties and introducing the Bachelor of Energy Systems Engineering program, the university equips students with the knowledge and skills to address environmental and social challenges. Supported by cross-sector collaboration in line with SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), these initiatives connect education with practical solutions for a more sustainable future.
Telkom University is showing that caring for water can pay its own way. On campus, it has built a water management system in which clean canals, ponds and wetlands also produce fish, crops, compost and income that is put back into looking after the land. Beyond campus, it supports coastal and village communities that guard sea turtles, protect their coastline and teach children to care for the sea.
Telkom University keeps a close watch on the waters that flow through and beneath its 48-hectare campus in Dayeuhkolot, Bandung Regency. From the irrigation canal and Situ Tekno lake to its deep wells and treated wastewater, the university tests, samples and observes water quality to catch problems before they harm aquatic life or people. Monitoring is led by the Asset and Sustainability Directorate (ASUS), working with lecturers, students and outside laboratories. The university is now moving from manual sampling to sensors that report water conditions in real time.
Telkom University expands its health outreach programmes with 50 health-focused community activities in 2025. They range from digital stunting monitoring with Posyandu cadres and hygiene education in schools to exercise videos for older adults, assistive technology for children with disabilities, and physiotherapy robots for stroke survivors, advancing SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being.
Rivers, canals and coastlines do not stop at a university's boundary, and neither does Telkom University's work to protect them. In 2024 and 2025, its lecturers and students worked side by side with riverbank residents, village governments, fishing communities and turtle conservation groups to look after the waters they share. The collaborations range from the Cikapundung River watershed, which feeds the irrigation canal running through the campus, to neighbouring villages in Dayeuhkolot and Bojongsoang and coastal communities in East Java, Yogyakarta and Lampung. They are funded through the university's community service grants, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology, and Telkom Indonesia's Innovillage and CSR programmes.
Telkom University strengthens arts and cultural heritage preservation through 32 public performances and cultural activities recorded from January to September 2025, spanning music, theater, dance, film, photography, and visual arts. By encouraging student creativity, celebrating Indonesia’s cultural diversity, and showcasing local traditions to wider audiences, these initiatives contribute to SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and support a vibrant, inclusive cultural environment.
Telkom University is working alongside government agencies at every level, from West Java's provincial disaster management agency to village governments, to plan for floods, landslides and other climate-related disasters. Its researchers build the systems that help officials decide where to send relief supplies, when to warn residents and how to protect people before disaster strikes. The collaborations combine research and community service funded by the university, the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology, regional government and international partners. They put the university's expertise in data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) at the service of public disaster planning.
elkom University treats every type of wastewater on campus according to its characteristics before the water is reused or discharged. The aim is to uphold water quality and protect the ecosystems, wildlife and people downstream. The campus now runs 22 wastewater treatment installations covering its 53 designated wastewater management locations. Toilet, laboratory, cafeteria and rain water each follow a different treatment route, and much of the treated water is reused on campus instead of being released.
Telkom University prevents water system pollution by filtering river water through its campus IPAL and retention ponds before it reaches Situ Tekno, treating wastewater in 28 STP and IPAL units, and collecting used cooking oil and hazardous laboratory waste separately. Infiltration wells and biopores across 34% of the campus also reduce polluted runoff.
elkom University researchers are working directly to monitor, map and protect aquatic ecosystems and the species that live in them. Projects funded in 2024 and 2025 range from listening to marine life in the Java Sea to modelling how mangroves in Bali shield the coast from waves. The work is funded through internal research grants, national funding from the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology (Kemdiktisaintek) and the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), and partnerships with universities and companies in Indonesia, South Korea and Malaysia.
Telkom University supported a series of community events in 2025 that promoted the conservation and sustainable use of marine and water resources. The events ranged from sea turtle conservation training on the coast of Yogyakarta to waste literacy and water monitoring workshops in West Java. Most of the events were funded under the university's internal Mentoring and Training (Pendampingan/Pelatihan) scheme for Period I 2025, set out in a decree from the Vice Rector for Research, Innovation and Partnerships. Each of these received Rp4,250,000 in funding.
