The Sunan Ampel International Conference of Political and Social Sciences (SAICoPSS) is an annual public event designed to facilitate academic presentations on social, political and religious issues relevant to the conference’s theme. It also aims to promote collaboration between academics and professionals, to foster ongoing knowledge exchange and discussion about contemporary issues.

Hosted by the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya (UINSA), the conference is conducted virtually through the Zoom Webinar Platform. Presenters are encouraged to contribute to both the conference and publications.

The conference welcomes papers from diverse disciplines, perspectives, and geographical areas, focusing on the development of multidisciplinary and inclusive knowledge.
