Conference

The Samudra International Conference on Science and Engineering (SICSE) is the third international seminar organized by Universitas Samudra. This seminar carries the theme “Advancing Sustainable Development 2030: Innovative Approaches and Multidisciplinary Collaboration in engineering and Environment“. Underscores the imperative of achieving sustainable development goals by 2030 through innovative solutions and cross-disciplinary cooperation. It emphasizes the critical roles of engineering and environmental sciences in addressing challenges such as affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), sustainable infrastructure (SDG 9), resilient urban development (SDG 11), climate action (SDG 13), and biodiversity conservation (SDG 15). By fostering collaboration among engineers, environmental scientists, policymakers, and other stakeholders, the conference aims to drive progress towards sustainable development by leveraging creativity, technology, and holistic approaches to address interconnected global challenges effectively.

Recent developments in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in Indonesia, have highlighted the urgent need for innovative approaches and multidisciplinary collaboration to address pressing sustainability challenges. Indonesia faces various environmental and developmental issues, including deforestation, air and water pollution, rapid urbanization, and climate change impacts such as rising sea levels and extreme weather events. These challenges directly intersect with the themes of the conference, as they require innovative engineering solutions and collaboration across disciplines to mitigate their adverse effects and promote sustainable development.

We look forward proposals or abstracts from scholars and industry professionals in the social sciences and humanities. These contributions will enrich and broaden the range of perspectives for dialogue at this conference.

Conference Objectives

  • Facilitating Knowledge Exchange: Provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices related to sustainable development, innovative engineering solutions, and environmental conservation.
