Semarang – Diponegoro University Vocational School, on Wednesday and Thursday, 3-4 November 2021, will host the 2nd International Conference on Chemical Engineering and Applied Sciences (ICChEAS 2021). Located at Industrial Chemical Engineering Technology, this activity was carried out after its first activity was conducted at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Shah Alam, Malaysia in 2017. ICChEAS is one of the most advanced and comprehensive global forums for disseminating results and data in research, development , applications in chemical engineering and science applications. 2nd ICChEAS 2021 with the theme “Designing Tomorrow: Towards Sustainable Engineering and Technology”, this activity was attended by 4 major countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan and Finland. This prestigious forum presents an extraordinary keynote speaker, namely Prof. Hidefumi Yoshii from Setsunan Univ. Japan, Prof. Abrar Muslim from Syiah Kuala University of Indonesia, Assoc. Prof. Jaka Sunarso from Swinburne University of Technology, Malaysia and Assoc. Prof. Tony Hadibarata from Curtin University, Malaysia. Through this forum, researchers from the 4 major countries discussed with each other, shared their findings, collaborated and stayed in touch to produce new findings that were useful for the advancement of research and technology in this global era.
In addition to presenting extraordinary keynote speakers, the ICChEAS 2021 activity also presented invited speakers who were experts in their fields. The invited speakers who are no less extraordinary include Nanang Masruchin, Ph.D. from the Biomaterials Research Center (LIPI), Dr. Eng Asep Bayu Dani Nandiyanto from Indonesian Education University, Indonesia, Dr. Atikah Kadri from Universiti Technology MARA (UiTM), Malaysia, Dr. Teuku Rihayat from State Polytechnics of Lhokseumawe, Indonesia and Dr. Novi Hery Yono from PPSDM MIGAS-CEPU, Indonesia. In the sharing session, many questions from the participants showed that this pandemic condition did not dampen the enthusiasm of researchers to prepare for the future with sustainable technology engineering.
ICChEAS 2021 activities are also a forum for dynamic exchanges and collaborations between the academic community and the research community regarding sustainable technology engineering.
