The 2026 FKP Roadshow will explore the role of infrastructure in supporting economic development in eastern Indonesia, with a focus on experiences in Kalimantan. The Roadshow will be conducted at Universitas Mulawarman (Monday, 26 January), Universitas Borneo Tarakan (Tuesday, 27 January), and Universitas Tanjungpura (Thursday, 29 January) and will feature presentations by academics from the host university, Telkom University and The Australian National University (ANU). The research presented will address infrastructure challenges, regional disparities, and policy implications for strengthening connectivity and growth outside Java. Each seminar concludes with an open discussion to encourage critical exchange and comparative insights across regions.

The Roadshow is supported by KONEKSI, a collaborative initiative by the Governments of Australia and Indonesia in the knowledge and innovation sector that supports partnerships between Australian and Indonesian organisations for inclusive and sustainable policy and technology.
