AUN/SEED-Net took part in the International Conference on Geological Engineering and Geosciences (ICGoES 2026), held from 10–11 September 2026 in association with the AUN/SEED-Net Regional Conference of Geological and Georesource Engineering (RC GeoE). Hosted by Universitas Gadjah Mada at its Faculty of Engineering, the event centered on the theme “Advancing Geo-resource Research for Environmental and Economic Resilience: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities.”
Held in Yogyakarta and accessible online, the conference welcomed participants from universities across Indonesia, Japan, ASEAN, and beyond, together with representatives from the industry sector. This hybrid format reflected the event’s broad regional and international reach while enabling wider participation and knowledge exchange.
Through more than 60 oral and poster presentations, researchers shared insights and emerging approaches across geological engineering, geosciences, and geo-resource development. Discussions underscored the field’s important role in addressing shared challenges, including environmental sustainability, economic resilience, and engineering contributions to sustainable development in the region and beyond.
The program featured keynote presentations by distinguished professors from Kyoto University, Hokkaido University, Kyushu University, and RWTH Aachen University, alongside invited talks from industry speakers. Their contributions enriched the conference dialogue and strengthened the link between academic research and practical applications in geological and georesource engineering.
In addition to the technical program, the conference offered a valuable opportunity for the AUN/SEED-Net team to reconnect with alumni, researchers, and lecturers who continue to play an active role in the network. These conversations opened fresh perspectives on current collaboration in Geological Engineering and identified future opportunities to further strengthen regional partnerships.
The successful convening of ICGoES 2026 and RC GeoE marks another meaningful milestone for one of AUN/SEED-Net’s flagship programs. More importantly, it reaffirmed the value of sustained collaboration and strong human-to-human connections in addressing common challenges. AUN/SEED-Net extends its sincere appreciation to the organizers, speakers, participants, alumni, and partners whose contributions made the conference a memorable and impactful success. ✨✌️
