Annual International Conference 2025 in conjunction with 1st Postgraduate Conference 2025
The Postgraduate Conference 2025 is the first international academic conference organized by the Graduate School of Universitas Syiah Kuala (SPs USK). As an institution committed to advancing scholarly excellence and interdisciplinary collaboration, this event aims to provide a dynamic platform for postgraduate students, researchers, and academics to present their work, share ideas, and foster research-based dialogue across multiple disciplines.
Held under the theme “Bridging the Knowledge and Skills for the Practices in the Realisation of Sustainable Development Goals”, the conference seeks to highlight the importance of integrating perspectives and methodologies from various academic fields, including Sciences and Engineering, Environmental and Life Sciences, and Social Sciences.
This inaugural conference welcomes contributions in the form of abstracts and full papers, and offers participants the opportunity to engage with keynote speakers, interactive discussions, and peer-reviewed sessions. It also marks an important milestone in the internationalization efforts of SPs USK, strengthening academic cooperation on a global scale.
As part of the Annual International Conference (AIC) of Universitas Syiah Kuala, themed “Innovating Together for a Sustainable Future: Green Technologies and Circular Economy in Action”, PGC 2025 extends the scope of AIC by offering a dedicated platform to highlight postgraduate perspectives and contributions.
Whether you are an emerging scholar or an experienced academic, we invite you to join us in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, or virtually, for two days of inspiring exchange, collaboration, and discovery.
