“Akademisi dapat bertindak sebagai policy entrepreneur, where they can invest and use the resources they have to identify and analyze policy problems to then propose policy solutions to these problems,” ujar Anas dalam keterangan tertulis, Tuesday (16/5/2023).
He conveyed this while delivering a scientific oration at the UNJ Open Session at the opening of UNJ's 59th Anniversary in Jakarta, Tuesday (16/5).
Furthermore, Anas said academics played a broad role in using knowledge, ability, capability, as well as materials for analyzing policies issued by the government. Academics can also strengthen evidence-based policies on the results of observations and analyzes based on data and information that are developing in society.
On the other hand, said Anas, academics also play a role in ensuring that development goals and targets are achieved. Therefore, Academics can be a bridge between government and society.
“Dosen dapat menginternalisasi dan menyosialisasikan kebijakan pemerintah kepada masyarakat sebagai bagian dari Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi. While students can help implement these policies to the community,” he added.

“Saya titip, so that the campus can be more active in campaigning regarding this matter because the future of our children is at 2050 later, determined from now on," he explained.
