The international conference brought together scientists, researchers, and practitioners from various countries to discuss the latest developments in environmental science and renewable energy. During the event, Hasan presented two scientific papers focusing on clean energy development and technology-based learning innovations aligned with the global United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The first paper, titled “A Review of Ocean Wave-Based Renewable Energy Systems: Global Research Trends, Challenges, and Sustainability Opportunities,” examined global research trends in ocean wave energy technology. The study explored the potential of ocean waves as a renewable energy source, identified technological challenges, and highlighted opportunities for future development to support the transition toward sustainable energy systems.
The second paper, “How Students’ Perceptions and Innovations Through Solar Panel STEAM Projects as Renewable Energy?”, investigated how project-based learning using solar panels within the STEAM Education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) approach can enhance students’ creativity, innovation, and understanding of renewable energy concepts.
Both studies contribute to several key SDGs, particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 4 (Quality Education), and SDG 13 (Climate Action). The research integrates renewable energy innovation with science education, aiming to support sustainability-oriented learning and environmentally friendly energy solutions.
The research was conducted under the supervision of Nadi Suprapto as Promoter and Eko Hariyono as Co-Promoter, who guided the development of the study in renewable energy and sustainable science education.
The ICERE 2026 conference opened with remarks from Marco Abbiati, Science and Technology Counsellor at the Embassy of Italy in Vietnam representing University of Bologna, followed by welcome remarks from Trang Si Trung, Dean of the School of Fisheries and Life Sciences at Nha Trang University.
The forum also featured keynote speakers from leading global institutions, including Sophia University in Japan, Pusan National University in South Korea, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in China, and Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral in Ecuador.
Over the three-day conference, participants engaged in various academic activities such as keynote speeches, invited talks, scientific discussions, and parallel sessions where researchers presented their latest findings.
Hasan’s participation in the international forum strengthens global academic collaboration while demonstrating the contribution of UNESA’s doctoral students in advancing renewable energy research and sustainability-oriented science education aligned with the SDGs. (*)
