Transforming scientific evidence into action that empowers communities and change-makers alike.
Research for Social Impact (REFSI) is a research center under the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at Universitas Pejuang Republik Indonesia. We connect science with practice by transforming research into real-world action.
Through partnerships with community leaders, government agencies, and grassroots organizations, we bring science to life where it matters most. Our workshops and training programs equip both scientists and policymakers with the tools to communicate effectively and make better decisions for society.


Empathy is the foundation of social research; it transforms data into understanding and understanding into pathways for meaningful change.
