Abstract

This study investigates science communication processes at Universitas Indonesia (UI), Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), and Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) using a qualitative multiple case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis, involving 15 key informants. Analysis employed an explanation-building approach in three stages—data collection, case profiling, and conclusion formulation—supported by triangulation through data cross-checking, member checks, and expert consultations to enhance reliability. Findings show that science communication in these universities forms an ecosystem that integrates communicators, messages, media, receivers, and feedback. Institutional actors act as strategic intermediaries, translating scientific knowledge into accessible, actionable forms. Messages align with national and global priorities and are tailored to audience needs. Communication channels combine formal academic outlets with digital media, public events, and community engagement, ensuring broad reach. Receivers—ranging from policymakers and industry to grassroots communities—participate actively, fostering two-way knowledge exchange and collaborative problem-solving. Feedback loops from internal teams and external stakeholders refine both research and its dissemination. Overall, the study highlights a holistic and impact-oriented framework for science communication in Indonesian higher education, bridging academia, industry, policymakers, and the public. This model strengthens national science communication capacity and offers a replicable strategy for linking research with societal needs.

Abstract

Indonesian universities are mandated to disseminate research and innovations to support national development; however,  a gap persists between knowledge production and its broader societal utilization. This study examines how science communication models operate within research downstreaming at Universitas Indonesia (UI), Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), and Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) using the deficit, contextual, lay expertise, public engagement, and hybrid models. A qualitative multiple-case study was conducted from September 2024 to January 2025 through in-depth interviews with 15 institutional informants and document analysis. Findings indicate that early downstreaming is largely dominated by deficit-oriented communication through journal outputs and institutional websites that prioritize academic validation and performance indicators, while later stages increasingly employ contextual, participation, and lay expertise models through cross-sector forums, policy interfaces, digital platforms, innovation events, and community service. Importantly, hybrid (multimodel) practices are present across both early and advanced stages, indicating that universities flexibly combine models to meet shifting objectives and stakeholder configurations from validation to adoption. The study concludes that downstreaming involves a communicative reconfiguration where adaptive multimodel strategies are essential to secure credibility, relevance, and uptake.
