Welcome to ICoCES-2026
In the era of global transformation, sustainability has emerged as a defining priority for governments, academic institutions, industries, and communities worldwide. Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the call for collaborative action has never been more urgent.
The International Conference on Community Engagement for Sustainability (ICoCES-2026), hosted by the Center of Research and Community Engagement (LPPM) Universitas Wahid Hasyim, will be held on 24 September 2026. This landmark event is designed to serve as a dynamic platform where scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and community leaders converge to share knowledge, exchange experiences, and co-create actionable strategies for sustainable futures.
At ICoCES-2026, we believe that community engagement is not simply an academic responsibility—it is a vital mechanism for translating research into real-world impact. Through participatory approaches, universities can strengthen local capacities, foster innovation, and build resilience in addressing structural, social, and environmental challenges.
By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and international cooperation, this conference seeks to:
- Strengthen collaboration between academia and communities.
- Disseminate innovative research and best practices.
- Promote integrated approaches across science, technology, social sciences, and humanities.
- Support evidence-based policy development.
- Empower local and global communities to actively contribute to the SDGs.
We warmly invite you to join us in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, for ICoCES-2026. Together, let us advance sustainability, empower communities, and shape a resilient future.
Be part of the dialogue. Be part of the change. Be part of ICoCES-2026.
