FISIP Online,  Faculty of Social and Political Sciences is holding a Studium Generale which will be held on Wednesday, November 16 2022 at 10.30 – 12.30 WIB. This event took place in the Prof. Auditorium. Bahtiar Effendy FISIP UIN Jakarta and also broadcast via Zoom and YouTube. The theme of this event is "Cyber ​​Diplomacy and Cyber ​​Threats in the Midst of World Geopolitical Shifts ". 

This time Studium generale invited speakers, namely, Dr. Pratama Dahlian Persadha (Chairman of Communication and Information System Security Research Center), apart from that, a welcome and introduction to the studium generale from the Dean of FISIP UIN Jakarta, namely Prof. Dr. Ali Munhanif, MA. The event was moderated by Robi Sugara, M.Sc (FISIP UIN Jakarta) with his characteristically enthusiastic demeanor.

The Dean of FISIP gave a speech at this studium generale event by giving hope that this event could open students' insight into global cyber diplomacy and become more productive in exploring positive information. He also shared an overview of cyber threats in Indonesia today.

Then the event continued with a presentation by the speaker, namely Dr. Pratama Dahlian Persadha by explaining cyber diplomacy. "Cyber ​​diplomacy carried out by states exists at two levels, namely the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies located throughout the world. By operating at two levels, countries can adapt foreign policy messages and the image of their country according to the characteristics of local audiences - for example history , their culture, values ​​and traditions – in order to achieve the foreign policy targets and image they want to build," said Pratama. In addition to diplomacy between countries, diplomats also interact with various non-state actors, such as leaders of internet companies (for example Facebook or Google), technology entrepreneurs or civil society organizations.

After the resource person gave his presentation, a question and answer session was opened for the resource person by students. Students were very active in asking questions to the resource person and were enthusiastic from the start in participating in this general studium and the 5 questioners with the best questions each received 100 US Dollars given by the resource person. The event closed by giving souvenirs to the speakers.
