The Open Society Conference is the annual conference hosted by the Faculty of Law, Social, and Political Sciences, Universitas Terbuka, Indonesia. The conference has been held 6 times, starting from a national conference, and escalating into an international conference. This is a place for us academicians to disseminate our research. We also invited speakers either academicians or professionals for sharing and exchange knowledge. You may visit our past conference through UT TV Channel at @universitasterbukatv follow for more updates about Universitas Terbuka.

The 7th Open Society Conference 2025 carries the theme “Collaborative Digital Transformation for Social Inclusion: Innovations, Equity, and Global Lessons.” This theme reflects the growing importance of digital transformation in shaping inclusive governance, equitable public services, and sustainable social development across diverse contexts. The conference emphasizes collaboration across disciplines and sectors to ensure that digital innovation supports social inclusion rather than deepening existing inequalities.

The conference covers a wide range of topics, including digital governance, legal and policy frameworks, social communication, business transformation, taxation, cultural and linguistic inclusion, and community dynamics in the digital era. Through keynote sessions, panel discussions, and parallel presentations, OSC 2025 encourages evidence-based dialogue and critical reflection on global and local experiences.

The contributors’ full papers will be published in the conference proceeding. The proceedings of OSC 2025 compile peer-reviewed papers presented at the conference and aim to contribute to the advancement of knowledge, policy discourse, and practical solutions related to open societies and inclusive digital transformation.

Furthermore, the selected papers will be published in Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research or SINTA-indexed journals. For further information about this year’s conference, please click here
