GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE IN BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY FOR WATER - FOOD - ENERGY SUSTAINABILITY

GREETING FROM THE HOST

Selamat datang …

… is the Indonesian way to say “Welcome” to our guests. We cheerfully greet you to enjoy the warmth of

tropical climate in Yogyakarta, a cultural hub in Java Island, which is one of the biggest islands among

more than 10,000 islands of Indonesia Archipelago.

Universitas Gadjah Mada is ready to host you in our special event this year, WAFERS Summer Course

2018, which is designed to be visionary and insightful learning forum, with special programs to make it fun

and refreshing. The event will be full of unforgettable moments to celebrate newly build friendship among

the participants and to tie commitment to work synergistically for sustainable development goals (SDGs).

When we are talking about SDGs, water-food-energy nexus is always one of the central issues. Indo-

nesia is a special country as this is one of few countries in this world which is so blessed with rich natural

resources for clean water, all year long food harvest, and enormous energy reserve from both biomass

and geothermal origins. In our WAFERS Summer Course 2018, we would like to invite international and

national participants to share best practices in bioresource technology applications to build the mutual

vision in guarding our water, food, and energy resources.

We will accompany you in a special journey of learning during 10 days of WAFERS Summer School

2018. There will be lectures from prominent professors of Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Japan, USA, and

Australia in between field trips to project sites. You will interact directly with community organizations

successful in managing environmental programs and water protections. We will take you to see how engi-

neering and humanity converges to create a commitment towards sustainability. In the week end pro-

gram, you will also experience Indonesian legacy of wisdom by visiting the monument of ancient engi-

neering in Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple, Kotagede Heritage Trail, and historic tour around our

beautiful town, Yogyakarta.

Our summer course title is nicely fit into the acronym “WAFERS” which stands for Water-Food-

Energy-Sustainability. Our electronic engineering colleagues called semiconductor ‘wafers’. The technical

definition of semiconductor well match our expectation of this summer course: we hope to inspire the

participants to be a “semiconductor” in the circuit of sustainable development – just like semiconductor, it

might be small, thin, and even invisible, but without it, the entire system will not be functioning.

Join WAFERS Summer Course 2018 with curiosity and leave with new ideas. We are looking forward

to seeing you in Yogyakarta. It is our honor to assist you in transforming your curiosity into great ideas.

Dr. Wiratni Budhijanto – Chair

Dr. Rochim Bakti Cahyono – Executive Manager

ABOUT THE WAFERS SUMMER COURSE

Water, food and energy are the three main pillars in achiev-

ing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These three are seen

as a nexus that not only cannot be separated from each other,

but also depends on each other. But, in reality today, mankind

has been relentlessly pursued one while sacrificing the other two.

This cannot be ignored as it will bring Earth into a future where

these three prerequisites for mankind’s prosperities will be de-

pleted for the next generation.

In accordance with that notion, the Chemical Engineering

Department, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Gadjah Mada

organizes a Summer Course with topic of Global Perspective in

Bioresource Technology for Water-Food-Energy Sustainability.

The program invites participants from various countries to redefine “technology” with humanism

context as well as strong sustainability aspect in order to utilize technology to achieve the common Sus-

tainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The proposed Summer Course will be focused on natural bioresource that is tied with clean

water reservoir, food and energy. Natural bioresource is selected as focus because of the renewable

characteristic of this resource, so that its sustainability aspect can be guaranteed by a wise and proper

application of technology.

The program has been designed to create a vibrant environment to stimulate all participants

to express critical thinking, team work and the ability to present innovative solution on the utilization of

bioresources. The program combines group discussion, presentation from leading researchers from

around the world (USA, Japan, China, Malaysia, Indonesia) in this respective fields and visits to several

project sites and various interesting places in Yogyakarta. Additionally, at the end of the summer, trans-

ferable course credit will be granted to each participant.

After completing the course, all participants are expected to be able to:

• Analyze the general picture of water-food-energy problems and possible solutions in the 21st

century.

• Explain the appropriate selection of physical, chemical, and bioprocess technology for sustain-

able bioresource utilization.

• Evaluate the importance of community engagement for the application of selected technolo-

gies to achieve SDGs in the water-food-energy sector.

• Formulate challenges in their respective countries related to the implementation of appropri-

ate technologies as well as to identify steps to solve the problems at hand.

• Interact and work with colleagues across disciplines and across cultures.

ABOUT UGM AND YOGYAKARTA

Universitas Gadjah Mada is one of the oldest, biggest, and best universities in Indonesia, founded

on December 19, 1949. UGM is the largest institution of higher learning in Indonesia. Located in

Yogyakarta, Indonesia, the 360 acre university comprises of 18 faculties, 68 undergraduate study

programs, 23 diploma study programs, 104 master and spesialist study program, and 43 Doctorate study

programs.

UGM is implementing an educopolis area, a step taken by universities in creating conducive

environment for the continuity of the learning process. These efforts are pursued in the context of

developing multidisciplinary collaborations and responding to ecological issues in order to achieve the

vision of the university. Some of the steps are reducing pollution and vehicle exhaust emissions,

development of pedestrian, restriction of vehicles entering the campus, construction of new dormitories

on the campus, development of parking pockets, planting the trees green and many more.[www.ugm.ac.id]

Dr. Wiratni Budhijanto earned her bachelor degree in engineering from

Chemical Engineering Department at Gadjah Mada University (Yogyakarta,

Indonesia). Upon the completion of her bachelor degree in 1996, she won a

prestigious scholarship to proceed to the master degree at the same universi-

ty. She accepted an offer for a position as a lecturer in Gadjah Mada Universi-

ty in 1999. Her passion in science and research was then furthered nurtured

in College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV USA (2000-

2004) where she pursued her doctoral degree in chemical engineering. After finishing her dissertation

about fluidization engineering, she was recruited to work on a small postdoctoral program on bioprocess

engineering. The project was nitrogen fixation to improve the natural fertility of soil by utilizing the cya-

nobacteria. Since then, she worked on numerous bioprocess projects related to municipal and industrial

waste treatment, agricultural waste utilization and green chemicals for farming and post harvest treat-

ment, and biorenewable materials. However, on top of her scientific achievements, she is obsessed to

dedicate her chemical engineering expertise for society, especially the portion of Indonesian population

who reside in unfortunate areas and were struggling with poverty.
