Depok-After being delayed due to the pandemic, this year the Vocational Education Program of Universitas Indonesia will hold a hybrid conference “The 5th International Conference on Vocational Education Applied Science and Technology (ICVEAST)” on 26-28 October 2022. This international forum serves as a forum for researchers, academics, and practitioners. The theme of this fifth conference was “Attaining Sustainable Development Goals through Innovative Technological Research in Vocational Higher Education”.

The conference, which was previously known as the International Conference on Vocation for Higher Education (ICVHE), will collaborate with a number of leading academics in the world as keynote speakers, namely Prof. Benny Tjahjono, Ph.D (Coventry University, UK), Prof. Feifei Xu (Southeast University, China), Prof. Ts. Dr. Mohamad Sattar Rasul (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia), Prof. Peter Bath (University of Sheffield, UK), Padang Wicaksono, S.E., Ph.D (University of Indonesia, Indonesia), and Dr. Roos Geritsma (Hogeschool Inholland, The Netherlands). Vocational UI rebranded the name of the conference with a change in focus on applied education, especially on applied science and technology.

Program Chair of The 5th ICVEAST, Dr. Poeti Nazura Gulfira Akbar, S.T., M.Sc., said the purpose of the conference was to gain insight into higher education and the development of applied science in utilizing digital technology to help achieve the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and support global economic recovery. “This is also in line with the central issues of the G20, particularly the Education Working Group (EdWG) which focuses on the importance of preparing adaptive graduates. Researchers and policy makers in applied higher education must identify the impact of digital transformation on economic, social and environmental development, and explore options for action to ensure that the socio-technical transformation process promotes sustainable development and social justice,” said Poeti.

Three sub-topics will be raised in this conference, namely Fostering Economic Resilience and Building Future Enterprise through Technological Innovations; Digital Technology to Increase Competitive Advantage and Quality of Product and Services; and Big Data Utilization and Technology Application in Integrated Health Services to Improve Community Wellbeing. Poeti added, “As an interdisciplinary approach, The 5th ICVEAST will raise issues from these sub-topics based on the perspectives of technical, economic, social, and environmental sciences that actively involve stakeholders from the field, especially from the perspective of vocational higher education as a pillar of national development.”

On the same occasion, the Director of the UI Vocational Education Program, Padang Wicaksono, S.E., Ph.D, said that the conference was an effort made in order to realize the vision and mission of the UI Vocational to become a world class university. “Collaborations between lecturers and academics and international practitioners can occur through networking at the conference.
