The International Indonesia Conference on Interdisciplinary Studies (IICIS) is an annual academic forum initiated by the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, University of Lampung, Indonesia. Entering its fifth edition in 2025, IICIS continues to serve as a premier platform for scholars, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to engage in interdisciplinary dialogue and knowledge exchange concerning global and regional issues.

The 2025 conference theme “Food Security and Strengthening Human Resources”, underscores two interrelated global challenges: the need for sustainable food systems and the development of competent, resilient human capital in response to the pressures of environmental change, social disparity, and digital transformation.

This year’s IICIS will feature enriched thematic scopes that cut across academic disciplines within FISIP, ranging from governance, public administration, sociology, communication, international relations, business administration, and development studies. The conference will integrate theoretical, empirical, and practical contributions to address urgent questions about sustainability, equity, and transformation in both local and global contexts. In an era marked by rising geopolitical instability, climate change, armed conflicts, and widening social inequalities, the need for sustainable, inclusive, and interdisciplinary solutions is more pressing than ever.
