Dear Students and Visitors,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to the 8th AMDI-UNAIR International Postgraduate Research & Innovation Colloquium (AUPC2024) with the theme ‘Innovate, Illuminate, Inspire: Showcasing Your Research Journey’. This is our first collaboration with UNAIR, and as the chairperson of this event, I am honoured to mark the beginning of what promises to be an inspiring and enriching experience for all of us.

This colloquium represents a significant platform for us, as students, to showcase our research, share our insights, and engage in meaningful dialogue with our peers and mentors. It is a celebration of our academic journey, our curiosity, and our commitment to advancing knowledge.

During the 2 days colloquium, we will have the opportunity to delve into a diverse array of medical and health sciences topics. These presentations reflect not only the hard work and dedication of the students but also the vibrant intellectual community we are all a part of.

This year, we are privileged to bring together an impressive lineup of speakers from Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR), AMDI, industry sector, and community representatives. From academic challenges and career opportunities to the impact of community engagement and industry trends, we aim to provide a comprehensive talk and discussion that addresses the multifaceted nature of student life.

On behalf of the organising team, I welcome all of you to join us at AUPC2024, and submit your abstract for a chance to be chosen for publication. Together, let us create an environment where ideas can flourish, and where each of us feels empowered to contribute to the collective knowledge.
