Since its founding, ICIP has opened itself up to visits from academics and activists both from Indonesia as well as from overseas. These fellowships and exchanges provide a means for academics and activists to share their experiences and ideas regarding pluralism with Indonesian audiences, as well as learn new approaches and gain new insight from their experiences in Indonesia.
