Chairman of seminar committee, Dr. Aris Ismanto, S.Sc., M.Sc., said “This seminar is usually held offline, but due to Covid-19 pandemic, we have to change our habits to be online. We received more than 200 abstracts from prospective presenters, but those who passed the selection stage were 107 presenters, of which 46 were from within Undip and 61 from outside Undip. The entire presenters are divided into 4 countries, namely Indonesia, the Netherlands, the United States and Japan.” The research results presented at ICTCRED 2020 will be published in International proceedings indexed by the Scopus Institute of Physics (IOP); International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (Q2), Biodiversity (Q3), Bioflux AACL (Q3), Squalen Bulletin of Marine and Fisheries Post Harvest and Biotechnology (Q4), Food Research (Q4); National journals indexed by SINTA such as the Marina Oceanography Bulletin, National Oceanic Journal, Tropical Marine Journal, and Fisheries Science and Technology.
Dean of Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Prof. Tri Winarni Agustini, M.Sc., Ph.D, in the midst of the activity emphasized that the ICTCRED 2020 activity is a collaboration from the fields of coastal health, socio-economy, and marine with the topics of Aquaculture, Fisheries, Marine Natural Products, Biotechnology, Coastal Engineering, Air Sea Interaction, Disaster Mitigation, And Rehabilitation, Coastal Policy, Fisheries Processing Technology, Coastal Resources, Coastal Social and Economic, Marine Science, Geoecohazard, Oceanography, and Coastal Health. ICTCRED 2020 activities are supported by the Association of Indonesian Oceanology Scholars (Ikatan Sarjana Oseanologi Indonesia), Center for ICZM Undip, Corem Undip, TU Delft Netherland, NWO Netherland, and TUFTs University USA. The Dean of Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences Undip hopes that this activity can be useful for advances in science and technology, especially in the fields of fisheries and marine affairs.
