The 19th International Indonesia Forum Conference:
Water, Land, and Societies in Transition: From the Regional to the National and Beyond
The 19th International Indonesia Forum (IIF) conference will focus on sustainability at the crossroads of water and land, of the rural and urban. This may include issues related to specific coastal zones, river basins, peatlands, forests, agricultural frontiers, or rural–urban interfaces, or broader issues that affect diverse spaces. The key questions are how environmental change, economic development, and policy interventions shape everyday life, resources, and land use in Indonesia and beyond.
The IIF conference will be held on 29-30 July 2026, at Universitas Tanjungpura (UNTAN) in Pontianak, Indonesia. Persons wishing to present papers at the conference are invited to submit a short CV and one-page abstract in electronic form (PDF or Microsoft Word) to Dr. Frank Dhont at frank.dhont@iif.or.id and secretariat@iif.or.id, respectively, by 30 March 2026. In principle, abstracts must be in English, and papers will likewise be presented in English; Indonesian-language presentations will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
