As the year 2025 draws to a close, Dr. Rantastia Nur Alangan, CEO of the Universal Institute of Professional Management (UIPM), received Season’s Greetings from the United Nations University – World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER). More than a ceremonial message, the greeting marks recognition of Dr. Rantastia’s continued engagement in academic dialogue and research collaboration with a United Nations institution.
In its official message, UNU-WIDER expressed appreciation for Dr. Rantastia’s active contributions and participation, while also conveying its hope to continue collaboration and the exchange of ideas in 2026. This communication reflects a sustained professional relationship between UIPM’s leadership and one of the most influential development economics research centers under the United Nations University.
UNU-WIDER is widely recognized as a strategic UN institution that plays a key role in global policy research, particularly in the areas of sustainable development, poverty reduction, and inequality. The relationship established with UIPM is seen as opening opportunities for research synergy, academic capacity building, and meaningful contributions to evidence-based public policymaking.
Responding to the message, Dr. Rantastia expressed his appreciation and reaffirmed his commitment to maintaining constructive engagement.
“I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for the Season’s Greetings conveyed by the United Nations University – World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER). The message represents recognition of the engagement and dialogue that have been established, and reflects the spirit of collaboration in advancing sustainable development,” said Dr. Rantastia.
He emphasized that UIPM views this communication as a positive encouragement to strengthen future exchanges of ideas, research initiatives, and academic cooperation, in line with the values of the United Nations and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The receipt of the message from UNU-WIDER is regarded not merely as an end-of-year formality, but as a strong signal of UIPM’s growing role within global academic and policy networks. This momentum further reinforces UIPM’s position as an institution actively engaged in international discourse on sustainable development and research-driven global economic policy.
