The promotional event was held in a hybrid format, with in-person sessions taking place at FH UGM and virtual participation facilitated through Zoom. Participants attending in person included representatives of FH UGM and BI Institute. Meanwhile, online participants represented various faculties and universities, including the Faculty of Economics and Business UGM, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences UGM, Faculty of Engineering UGM, Faculty of Law of Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta, Faculty of Law of Universitas Islam Indonesia, Faculty of Law of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, Faculty of Law of UIN Sunan Kalijaga, Faculty of Law of Universitas Janabadra, Faculty of Law of Universitas Diponegoro, and Faculty of Law of Universitas Sebelas Maret.
Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic at the time, participants attending the event in person were required to complete attendance registration and undergo antigen swab testing before the program commenced to ensure the safety and comfort of all participants throughout the event. The JCLI promotion event began with welcoming remarks from Dr. Heribertus Jaka Triyana, S.H., LL.M., M.A., Vice Dean for Research, Community Service, and Information Systems of FH UGM. Remarks were then delivered by Dr. R. Dwi Tjahja K. Wardhono, Assistant Director of BI Institute. The main session featured a presentation by Dr. Iman Gunadi, Director of BI Institute, who introduced and promoted the Journal of Central Banking Law and Institutions (JCLI) to all participants. The presentation was met with considerable enthusiasm, prompting numerous congratulatory remarks as well as questions from participants eager to learn more about the journal and its academic contributions. The event concluded with the exchange of commemorative tokens between FH UGM and BI Institute, followed by a documentation session to capture the collaborative moment between the two institutions.
Before the launch of JCLI, Bank Indonesia had already published two academic journals: the Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking (BMEB), which is indexed by Scopus (Q2), and the Journal of Islamic Monetary Economics and Finance (JIMF), which is indexed in the Science and Technology Index (SINTA 2). With the introduction of JCLI, Bank Indonesia officially expanded its publication portfolio by establishing a third journal focusing on legal and institutional issues. JCLI is an English-language journal published three times annually. Through the establishment of JCLI, BI Institute envisions developing a high-quality academic journal with a strong international reputation in the fields of central banking law and institutional studies.
