This achievement also reflects the active engagement of MIL students in supporting several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 on Quality Education through strengthened student research capacity; SDG 13 on Climate Action through research that advances climate mitigation and adaptation efforts; SDG 15 on Life on Land through ideas promoting sustainable environmental management; and SDG 17 on Partnerships for the Goals by emphasizing the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration in developing sustainable solutions.
The event, held at the UGM Library, was attended by undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students from various academic backgrounds. Among the 15 selected poster presenters, non-presenter participants actively contributed by evaluating posters, engaging in discussions, and participating in question-and-answer sessions. The atmosphere remained lively and interactive throughout the seminar, with full participation from attendees. In addition to the poster sessions, participants had the opportunity to deepen their understanding of SDGs-related research, converse directly with presenters, and expand their academic networks through cross-disciplinary networking activities. All participants also received an e-certificate as recognition for their active involvement.
Through this accomplishment, the Master of Environmental Science students reaffirm their strong commitment to contributing to environmental and sustainability issues at the national level. The seminar not only served as a platform for students to showcase their scientific work but also provided a collaborative space that strengthens the role of young scholars in advancing the achievement of the SDGs through research, innovation, and sustainable partnerships.
