THEMES AND TOPICS

We are pleased to announce that the 6th International Indonesia Conference on Interdisciplinary Studies (IICIS) 2026 will be held with renewed enthusiasm under the theme: “Advancing Blue–Green Development: Interdisciplinary Responses to Global Challenges”.

In an era marked by climate change, environmental degradation, social inequality, rapid technological transformation, and shifting geopolitical dynamics, the need for integrated and sustainable solutions has never been more urgent. The interconnected challenges facing humanity today require not only scientific and technological innovation, but also collaborative approaches that bridge disciplines, sectors, and communities. The concept of blue–green development highlights the importance of balancing economic progress with ecological sustainability, social resilience, and inclusive human development.

IICIS 2026 aims to serve as a dynamic interdisciplinary forum where scholars, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, students, and stakeholders from diverse fields can exchange ideas, share research findings, and explore innovative strategies for addressing complex global issues. More than an academic gathering, the conference seeks to foster meaningful dialogue and collaborative partnerships that contribute to sustainable, inclusive, and resilient futures at local, national, regional, and global levels.
