BANDUNG, itb.ac.id 鈥 Indonesian Ambassador to Austria and Chairman of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)鈥檚 Board of Governors, Darmansjah Djumala, invited students and alumni of 麻豆直播 to register and work in world鈥檚 international organizations during 鈥淲orkshop on Working at IAEA and Other UN Organization鈥 held in itb鈥檚 East CC Auditorium on Friday (2/11/2018).
Darmansjah said that Indonesia is underpresented in international organizations such as the UN, UNESCO, UNICEF, IAEA, etc. For comparison, out of 240 international organizations in the world, some employ 46.700 people. However, only 94 out of those 46.700 come from Indonesia or about 0.2%. This is unfortunate given the massive amount of human resources and experts in Indonesia.
Darmansjah asserted the importance of working for international organization for Indonesian foreign policy. First, it elevates the image of Indonesia to the world. This is crucial because the participation of a country will build world鈥檚 respect toward that country. Second, it represents Indonesia鈥檚 interest internationally. 鈥淚ndonesia鈥檚 interests will be represented more and accommodated internationally if the voices are spoken,鈥 he said.
This is achievable if there are enough voices that represent Indonesia through its staffs in international organizations. These staffs will ensure clear delivery of information on the organization鈥檚 policy.

One of the factors that cause this underrepresentation is the people鈥檚 ignorance, especially academicians and professionals. Therefore, Darmansjah hopes that the workshop will improve Indonesian鈥檚 chance to work in international organization.
The workshop was presented by Pedro Alvarez Cobacho as the representative of Division of Human Resources of IAEA, who gave clear explanation about the registration and selection processes to participate in IAEA. IAEA is an international organization that are concerned with the use of nuclear energy as energy source or peaceful military benefit in the world. Besides professional workers that possess bachelor and master degree, bachelor students can also participate in IAEA鈥檚 apprenticeship. Pedro also gave some tips to pass the selection process from files submission to interview successfully.
The opportunities are open not only to science but also many other fields such as economy, finance, public relation, and IT. Pedro said that working in world鈥檚 international organization is a noble thing. More than for personal economy fulfilment, it is also for peace and better life of humankind.
