We would very much like this year’s report to showcase the achievements of our alumni and their many and various contributions to Australia-Indonesia relations over the course of 2020. It might be an article, academic paper, or book that you published, a Master’s or PhD thesis you completed, a podcast episode, YouTube video, or short film that you produced, a website that y...ou built, an event you were involved in organising, or an organisation you helped establish. It could even be a new position to which you were appointed in 2020 that has some bearing on Australia-Indonesian relations. If it happened in 2020 and somehow contributed to the broadening or deepening of interaction and understanding between Australians and Indonesians, we would like to include a reference to your work in our annual report. If you have an achievement from last year that you would like featured in the 2020 ACICIS Annual Report, please email details to [email protected] by Wednesday, 31 March 2021. Jangan malu-malu. No achievement too small. If in any doubt, err on the side of self-promotion. Hayo!
