Roadmap

Research Roadmap 2025-2030

The first horizon moves CIFBR from alignment and shared infrastructure to integrated research programs, real-world pilots, and ASEAN-level visibility. Each stage retains ongoing publication and talent-development activity while adding the next layer of capability.
2025
Foundation and Alignment

Priority Outcome

Confirm governance, thematic leads, research ethics, authorship and data rules; map member expertise and existing datasets; select three flagship questions; establish seminar and working-paper routines.

2026
Data and Capability Platform

Priority Outcome

Build a governed data catalogue and reproducible analytical environment; launch skills clinics; initiate partner agreements; complete baseline studies in market, banking, business, insurance, and Islamic-finance analytics.

2027
Integrated Models and Validation

Priority Outcome

Develop explainable forecasting, stress-testing, text-analytics, and network models; validate across Indonesian datasets and institutional settings; release documented research instruments and benchmark results.

2028
Partner Pilots and Policy Translation

Priority Outcome

Pilot early-warning, customer/market intelligence, actuarial-risk, and inclusive-finance tools; publish policy briefs and teaching cases; embed ethics, fairness, security, and model-risk reviews in every pilot.

2029
Scale and Institutionalize

Priority Outcome

Expand successful pilots across sectors; formalize an industry-regulator advisory forum; launch an annual CIFBR outlook; grow doctoral, visiting-scholar, and executive-learning pathways; pursue multi-year external funding.

2030
ASEAN Research and Impact Hub

Priority Outcome

Contribute to a regional consortium on computational finance, business, and risk; maintain flagship datasets and observatory products; host a recurring international forum; demonstrate measured partner and policy impact.

LONG-RANGE ROADMAP TO 2035

The second horizon consolidates CIFBR as a durable regional platform connected to international research networks. The emphasis shifts from individual projects to interoperable research infrastructure, comparative evidence, frontier methods, and demonstrable public value.

PERIOD STRATEGIC FOCUS PRIORITY OUTCOMES
2031-2032 Regional integration Link Indonesian and ASEAN data partners; establish shared protocols for secure data access and model validation; expand joint doctoral supervision, visiting appointments, and co-authored comparative studies.
2033-2034 Frontier intelligence and resilience Advance causal and generative AI, digital-twin and agent-based applications, climate-financial stress testing, cyber and operational resilience, and next-generation Islamic and inclusive finance.
2035 Sustained regional contribution Operate a recognized open observatory and partner network; publish comparative evidence relevant to emerging markets; maintain trusted tools and standards; demonstrate practical contributions to scholarship, policy, practice, and talent.



2035 Impact Framework

Knowledge A coherent body of high-impact, interdisciplinary research with distinctive emerging-market and Southeast Asian contributions.
Infrastructure Secure, documented, reusable datasets and analytical assets with clear governance, access, and maintenance responsibilities.
Practice Decision tools and standards adopted or tested by financial institutions, corporations, insurers, regulators, and development partners.
People A sustained pipeline of researchers and practitioners fluent in domain reasoning, computational methods, ethics, and communication.
Society Evidence of improved resilience, responsible innovation, financial capability, inclusion, and sustainability in partner contexts.
