On behalf of the organizing committee, we are glad and pleased to welcome you, all the participants to the 6th Open Society Conference 2024. It is an annual conference held by the Faculty of Law, Social, and Political Sciences, Universitas Terbuka. The theme of this year’s conference is “Facing Resilient Future through Sustainability and Innovation: Multidisciplinary Perspectives”.

To effectively address complex global challenges, a multidisciplinary perspective is essential. Input from various disciplines, such as sciences, social sciences, and economics, will contribute unique insights and foster the creation of holistic and effective strategies. Emphasizing systems thinking within this multidisciplinary approach allows for addressing root causes rather than merely treating symptoms. With this conference, we aim to provide an academic platform for the global dissemination of ideas. It offers a valuable opportunity for lecturers and students to engage in a knowledge-sharing environment centered around the seminar’s theme. To cater to diverse research interests, we have organized the topics into nine sub-themes:

With this conference, we aim to provide an academic platform for the global dissemination of ideas.

To cater to diverse research interests, we have organized the topics into seven sub-themes:

8. Language and Identity: Shifting Paradigms amidst Globalization.
9. Big Data and Society 5.0: Public Policy and Governance Context.

In bringing this conference into reality, we prioritize quality as the building bricks of the foundation, on which we lay our effort and hard work. We accomplish quality through different aspects of the conference.

We ensure it through double-blind peer review and clear criteria for abstract acceptance. This stringent selection process, guided by 33 outstanding reviewers from diverse institutions in Indonesia and abroad, distilled 120 abstracts into 86 full papers. This thorough selection process makes this conference the best venue to discuss various topics in humanities and social sciences.

To ensure all authors get high-quality publication opportunities, we strive for impact by collaborating with many nationally accredited journals and a well-known global publisher Atlantis Press for publishing in proceeding. Furthermore, the impact of our conference is also ensured through the spread of our authors, who not only come from Indonesia but also from other countries.

We strive for prestige by inviting distinguished speakers who are experts in their fields. We have three-panel speakers from three different countries, both academicians and practitioners, who can make the discussion more engaging from multiple perspectives. To draw ideas and thoughts on efforts in exploring the theme “The Facing Resilient Future Through Sustainability and Innovation by Multidisciplinary Perspectives”, we invite the participation of conference guest speakers, academics, researchers, and practitioners from various scientific and institutional backgrounds.

In terms of service quality, our committee is dedicated to prioritizing the participants’ best interests—ensuring their comfort and support throughout the conference. Additionally, we recognize and applaud outstanding papers by conferring awards for the best paper.

This conference is the result of the hard work, support, and dedication of several parties. We wish to thank all the committee members who together made the conference possible. The committee has been working throughout the year to propose sessions, review a record number of submissions, answer queries, arrange the schedule, and respond to last-minute requests. We also would like to extend our gratitude to FISIP Universitas Jember, FISIP UPN Veteran Jakarta, and FISIP Unnes Semarang for their invaluable contributions as co-hosts. Last but certainly not least, we thank all the authors and reviewers who form the backbone of this conference.

Thank you all for gracing us with your presence. Your participation is highly valued, and we hope you thoroughly enjoy the conference!
