The COMNETS Research Group (COMNETS RG) organized the Diaspora Talk Series Roadshow as part of its efforts to ensure the success of the Indonesia–Saudi Arabia Diaspora Program. This event was held at four partner universities: the Jakarta Veteran National Development University (UPNV Jakarta), Sriwijaya University (UNSRI), Muhammadiyah Kotabumi University (UMKO), and Jenderal Soedirman University (UNSOED).
This roadshow served as a platform for faculty members, researchers, and students to share knowledge and experiences, broadening their perspectives on the latest research developments, strategies for publishing in reputable scientific journals, and opportunities to build research collaborations with universities at the international level. The event featured Prof. Dr. Rahmat Budiarto, an Indonesian scholar based at Al-Baha University, as the keynote speaker, who shared his experiences and perspectives on research development and global academic networking.
In addition to serving as a forum for scientific discussion, the event was also used to present updates on ongoing research, evaluate achievements to date, and formulate directions for future research development and collaboration.
During the Diaspora Talk Series Roadshow, participants received materials covering four main topics, namely:
