“Strengthening Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to Accelerate Human Capital Development and Economic Growth”
The Faculty of Engineering, University of Surabaya (Indonesia), in collaboration with the Department of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Brawijaya, is proud to host a conference titled “Strengthening Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to Accelerate Human Capital Development and Economic Growth.” This event marks a significant step forward in the ongoing global effort to harness the transformative power of STEM disciplines in shaping a more resilient, inclusive, and prosperous future.
In today’s dynamic world, STEM education and innovation stand at the forefront of solving complex societal challenges. This role encompasses driving technological advancement and industrial competitiveness, as well as addressing issues such as climate change, public health, and equitable access to opportunities. STEM is a vital engine for human capital development and sustainable economic growth.
The conference brings together a diverse and interdisciplinary group of stakeholders, including researchers, educators, policymakers, industry leaders, and development practitioners. Through keynote speeches, panel discussions, technical sessions, and collaborative workshops, participants engage in meaningful dialogue and knowledge-sharing aimed at enhancing STEM education systems, promoting equitable access and participation, fostering innovation ecosystems, and strengthening the links between education and labor market demands.
This preface serves not only as an introduction to the topics explored during the conference but also as a reaffirmation of our collective commitment to advancing STEM for the benefit of all. The insights and recommendations shared here are intended to inform policy, guide future research, and inspire ongoing collaboration across sectors and borders.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all participants, partners, and contributors who make this event a success. We hope that the knowledge and connections formed during this conference will continue to yield impactful outcomes long after its conclusion.
