Unesa. ac.id SURABAYA—Strengthening the collaboration of smart technology with chemistry in realizing sustainable development goals or Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is an important discussion at the 2024 National Seminar on Chemistry (SNK) held by the Chemistry Education Study Program and Chemistry Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA), Surabaya State University (UNESA), on Saturday, September 21 2024.
Seminar which took place online with the theme ' Smart Technology Collaboration with Chemistry and Learning to Realize Sustainable Development Goals'was attended by a number of key speakers including; ChM. WenNee Tan, Ph.D., MMIC, MRSC from Universiti Sains Malaysia; Ir. Rochmad Indrawanto, S.TP., M.MT from PT Lautan Natural Krimerindo; and Dr. Sukarmin, M.Pd (Surabaya State University).
Apart from that, there were also other speakers such as; Prof. Dr. Jusniar, S.Pd., M.Pd., from Makassar State University (UNM); Dr. Sc. Bangun Satrio N., M.Sc from the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN); Dr. Ridwan J., M.Si from State University of Malang (UM); Dr. Abdul Rohim Tualeka, M.Kes from Airlangga University (Unair); Dr. Napsin Palisoa, S.Pd., M.Pd from Pattimura University (Unpatti); and Anggi Khairina, M.Sc., from the Indonesian Defense University.

The Dean of FMIPA UNESA provided reinforcement in SNK 2024.
Chairman of the committee , Kusumawati Dwiningsih said that this seminar discussed various topics in the fields of chemistry and technology, including the role of learning media in overcoming chemical misconceptions. Apart from that, it also discusses the integration of essential oils and nanotechnology, the production of non-dairy powdered creamer in support of the SDGs, as well as green chemical innovation and smart technology for the SDGs.
“Current issues such as the application of graphene oxide and the development of forensic chemistry in Indonesia is also a concern. Including, several aspects that are the topic of this seminar, namely; chemistry education, materials chemistry, organic/pharmaceutical chemistry, chemical process technology, and preneurship chemistry," he said.
He added, this seminar is intended to strengthen the innovation ecosystem in the chemical field. Chemical scientists and practitioners, he continued, have a big responsibility to continue to innovate, so that the breakthroughs that are born can support sustainable management of natural resources.
"This event is also an opportunity to strengthen collaboration between researchers , educator, and chemistry practitioner. "I hope that we can all share knowledge, experience and new ideas that can be applied in learning and research in the field of chemistry," he said.
