  • Sustainability and Resilience Conference: Mitigating Risks and Emergency Planning – Life Sciences Track

    The Sustainability and Resilience Conference is an annual conference organized by the Deanship of Graduate Studies and Scientific Research at the University of Bahrain (UOB), and under the patronage of His Excellency, Prof. Ryadh Hamzah, President of the UOB. The concept of “Sustainability and Resilience” in itself is not new worldwide, yet still new to the Middle East region in general, and to the Gulf states in particular. In 2018, the first edition of the conference is conducted in collaboration with the Northumbria University in the United Kingdom and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), and is dedicated to the main theme of “Mitigating Disaster and Emergency Planning” in three vital sectors: (1) Energy and Engineering, (2) Health and Science, and (3) Cyber Security and Networks. The conference is a great opportunity for positioning Bahrain as a “Regional Hub” for sustainability and resilience and provides participants (both academics and practitioners) with gigantic opportunities for knowledge sharing and experience exchange that would eventually accumulate in setting new policies and strategies.

  • 2nd International Conference on Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security: A Comprehensive Approach (ICSAFS)

    Food security and agricultural sustainability have become crucial global issues in the last few decades. Although a number of solutions have been proposed, the issues need to be addressed comprehensively from different points of views including agricultural production, biodiversity, conservation, and innovation, as well as a policy related to the problem. Therefore, all the experiences of respective researchers, academicians, practitioners, and professionals worldwide need to be gathered in a common unified voice. The 2nd International Conference on Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security was held as a scientific forum to unite ideas, visions, and missions as well as to arrange appropriate strategies in anticipating local and global challenges in the future. The aims of the conference were to identify opportunities and challenges with a view to strengthen food security and sustainable agriculture, establish a network among the related institutions, and to share ideas and recent findings on food security and sustainable agriculture.

  • The 1st International Conference on Global Health

    For the last decade, the top 10 causes of death across the world have shifted slightly. According to CDC (Center of Disease Control and Prevention), the deaths caused by communicable diseases have reduced and by non-communicable diseases have increased. This phenomenon is also happening in Indonesia. However, unlike in developed countries, the epidemiologic transition is not complete—communicable diseases remain a burden. The decline of communicable diseases is very modest, thus creating a double burden of diseases. Additionally, emerging infectious disease has also become a concern.

    As the most reputed university in Indonesia, Universitas Indonesia, has taken into account to develop solutions to tackle these global health problems. This encouraged the University to actively seek global solutions and hold the 1st International Conference on Global Health—an event in which experts concerned and experienced with global health issues came together and held discussions. This conference will be held annually and is a distinguished event for experts, academicians, practitioners, and other people concerned about global health.

  • The 3rd International Meeting of Public Health and the 1st Young Scholar Symposium on Public Health

    In 2015, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) came to the end of their term, and a post-2015 agenda, comprising 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with 169 targets, took their place. The 17 goals of the SDGs integrate all three dimensions of sustainable development (economic, social, and environmental) around the themes of people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership to be completed between 2016 and 2030.

    Those 17 goals also offer a broader framework to address public health concerns in a more holistic way, recognizing the evidence that we can no longer separate poor health from climate change, inadequate housing, gender disparities, and economic privation. Every one of the 17 SDGs has significant public health implications.

    Public health irrefutably has a central place in SDGs since it mentions strong commitments to reduce preventable maternal and child deaths, end the epidemics of communicable and non-communicable disease, strengthen health systems capacity and achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) as well as several targets under the other goals that are also directly or indirectly linked to the health goal.

    The Faculty of Public Health Universitas Indonesia as the leading public health institution in Indonesia understands the importance of public health’s role in achieving SDGs. At the very basic, the involvement of FPH UI was started by building awareness of SDGs amongst its students in forms of academic and non-academic activities.

    To accelerate with SDGs’ achievement, the students need an experience where experts from all around the world share their knowledge and research as well as build a professional network and youth involvement. To address this need, FPH UI has conducted annual International Meeting on Public Health (IMOPH) since 2015, initiated by the Postgraduate Student Association. In 2017, the 3rd International Meeting of Public Health (IMOPH) was held in conjunction with the 1st Young Scholar Symposium on Public Health (YSSOPH). With the theme “Public Health as an Art and Science to Achieve SDGs,” this event was attended by nearly 200 participants who showcased their creativity, achievement, and research to contribute to SDGs acceleration. Both symposium and conference shared the same theme and topics.

  • The 2019 International Conference on Biotechnology and Life Sciences (IC-BIOLIS)

    The fourth industrial revolution era – which is denoted by automation in all fields including industry, financial, medical and education – is predicted to bring opportunities as well as disruption of relationships between human (society) and technology. This 4.0 Industrial Revolution will create new realms that humankind has never experience before. The readiness of human resources, technology and infrastructures are required to face the impacts of this revolution, as it will fundamentally change the way human lives, works and socializes. As such, it is important to ensure that the revolutionized technology will bring positive impacts to the society. This should be brought about by creating an integrated and comprehensive approach that involves stakeholders from all sections of society, including practitioners from public and private sectors, academia and researchers. Indonesia is a developing country which undergoes progressive changes towards a rapidly industrializing society. The country is characterized by its abundant natural resources and a demography dominated by parts of society at a productive age. It is a country on the verge of becoming a developed one. As with other developing countries, the shift towards the 4.0 industrial revolution demands a careful and measured management of existing opportunities and challenges. This requires human resources that are empowered with pertinent skills. Biotechnology, which moves around the interface between technology and biological sphere, holds a key role in assisting the country in navigating its course through the new industrial revolution. It utilizes biological resources for the welfare of human society and assists the progression of a nation towards prosperity. The advancement of biotechnology, supported by skilled human resources in the sector, is essential to ensure that Indonesia is well prepared in facing both the challenges and opportunities brought about by the 4.0 industrial revolution. By adopting a theme on “The Role of Biotechnology in the Era of 4.0 Industrial Revolution”, The 2019 International Conference on Biotechnology and Life Sciences (IC-BIOLIS) aims to create a platform for relevant experts and stakeholders in the field of biology and biotechnology to discuss and share experience relating to the management and appropriate utilization of biological resources, as well as the recent advancement of biotechnology.
