Converging Knowledge for a Sustainable Future: Leading Transformative Change through Interdisciplinary Innovation

Conference Chair : Assoc. Prof. Dr. Radif Khotamir Rusli, M.Ed.

1. Background

The Djuanda International Conference is an annual seminar series organized by Djuanda University, Bogor, that promotes the integration of academic and professional research within the framework of Tawheed (monotheism) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each year, the conference serves as a platform to discuss pressing global and national issues, fostering dialogue, collaboration, and innovative solutions among scholars, practitioners, and policymakers.

Building upon this foundation, The 9^th Djuanda International Conference on Applied Sciences (DICAS) and the 9^th Djuanda International Conference on Social Sciences(DICSS) continue this annual tradition by emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and research synergy across various fields. The conferences reflect Djuanda University’s commitment to advancing knowledge that is not only scientifically rigorous but also ethically grounded in the principles of Tawheed recognizing the unity of knowledge, humanity, and sustainability.

In its 9th edition,the conference adopts the theme:

"Converging Knowledge for a Sustainable Future: Leading Transformative Change through Interdisciplinary Innovation."
