Government science plays an important role in supporting effective, transparent, accountable, and service-oriented governance. The development of government science in Indonesia faces challenges arising from rapid technological advancement, changing socio-political conditions, and increasing public demands for adaptive governance, requiring digital transformation to strengthen its relevance. This study aims to identify digital transformation strategies that can support the development of government science in Indonesia through academic, institutional, and practical perspectives. This study employs a qualitative approach using a literature review and descriptive analysis of relevant scientific articles, academic documents, higher education policies, government dynamics, and public governance practices. The analysis identifies four interconnected strategies, namely strengthening the paradigmatic foundation and digital competencies, enhancing research, publication, and governance innovation, promoting cross-sector collaboration through digital technologies, and strengthening ethics and leadership in government. These strategies indicate that digital transformation can serve as an important catalyst for developing adaptive, innovative, and responsive government science while supporting improvements in gover- nance and public services. The development of government science requires an integrated transformation strategy that connects academic development, institu- tional collaboration, technological innovation, and ethical leadership to address contemporary governance challenges and strengthen the relevance of govern- ment science in the digital era.
