THEMES AND TOPICS

We are pleased to announce that the 5th International Indonesia Conference on Interdisciplinary Studies (IICIS) 2025 will be held on June 12, 2025, with renewed spirit and a powerful theme: “Addressing Global Challenges through Food Security and Strengthening Human Resources.” In today’s world, where environmental shifts, social inequality, and digital transformation are reshaping the way we live, two critical challenges have become increasingly urgent—and inseparable: how to build sustainable food systems and how to develop skilled, adaptable human capital. These twin concerns are at the heart of this year’s conference.

More than just a gathering of scholars, IICIS 2025 is expected to serve as a platforms where ideas converge across disciplines, inviting fresh perspectives and integrated approaches. IICIS 2025 is more than an academic event. It is a collaborative forum where ideas from across disciplines converge to inspire innovative, practical solutions. We invite scholars, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, students, and all interested stakeholders to join us in this shared endeavor. Together, we will explore integrated approaches that respond to the complex realities of our time and contribute to building a more sustainable, inclusive, and equitable future.
