About

Serving Central Sulawesi since 1981

Universitas Tadulako grew out of the aspirations of the people of Central Sulawesi. The name Tadulako comes from a local philosophy meaning a leader who is just, honest, and courageous — values that guide the entire academic community.

Today the campus comprises 11 faculties plus the Graduate School, supported by a disaster research center that became a national reference after the 2018 Palu earthquake.
