Islamic Economics and Business Study Forum, FEBI, UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, sent two delegations to the IQTISHODUNA 2020 event on Wednesday and Thursday, October 21-22, 2020, and achieved remarkable success. The FEBI students, part of these two teams, are active members of the Islamic Economics and Business Study Forum (ForSEBI). ForSEBI Team 1 secured the 3rd place title, while ForSEBI Team 2 made it to the top 7 finalists. The scientific papers of both teams will be published in the Airlangga International Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance (AIJIEF).
IQTISHODUNA 2020 is the largest event held by the Islamic Economics Student Association of the Faculty of Economics and Business at Airlangga University (HIMA EKIS FEB UNAIR) with the theme “Towards Sharia Economic System: A Great Leap Forward.” The event comprises three series of events: the Islamic Economic Olympiad (SEO) for high school students across Indonesia, the International Debate and Call for Paper (IDCFP) for undergraduate students in Indonesia, and the Airlangga IQTISHODUNA Sharia Creative Talks (AISICT) as the main event. This year’s IQTISHODUNA event, held at Airlangga University, took place online via the Zoom platform from October 19 to 24, 2020.
The ForSEBI team from FEBI UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta that successfully received titles are:
3rd Place in the 9th Call for Paper IQTISHODUNA 2020, namely:
1. Alif Khuwarazmi Maulana Julendra (Islamic Accounting 2017)
2. Silvi Sri Mulyani (Islamic Accounting 2017)
3. Arfi Mulyasa Insani (Islamic Accounting 2017)

1. Alifia Nur Zaida (Islamic Accounting 2019)
2. Khusnul Zulmiati (Islamic Accounting 2019)
3. Nispawatil Isnaini (Islamic Banking 2017)
According to the Head of ForSEBI Team 1, “Even though the competition took place virtually, it still maintained a competitive atmosphere. Hopefully, it will serve as motivation and inspiration for FEBI students in general and all ForSEBI members in particular. Active involvement in organizations should not impede students from pursuing their goals and accomplishments. Likewise, the pandemic should not prevent anyone from being productive and innovative.”
“Becoming a finalist in the Call for Paper competition at IQTISHODUNA 2020 fills us with pride. This competition has allowed us to refine our skills in scientific research. It has been an extraordinary experience, teaching us how to stand by our principles despite the numerous challenges we have encountered. This achievement is the result of the team’s hard work and perseverance. We are grateful to have worked alongside them, and we hope that in the future, we can produce more work that brings about positive change. We encourage all ForSEBI members to continue learning, persevering, creating, and achieving,” said the Head of ForSEBI Team 2.
