Yogyakarta — The Center for Eco-Material Engineering and Manufacturing (PRME) at Yogyakarta State University (UNY) participated in the 14th International Conference on Educational Research and Innovation (ICERI) 2026 through an exhibition held on the university campus. The event served as a platform to disseminate PRME’s innovations and research findings to the academic community, researchers, students, and the general public. PRME UNY’s participation was also integrated into the "INSAN Jogja Anti-Bullying Festival," held on September 29, 2026, at the Yogyakarta State University Auditorium. This event functioned as a collaborative space, bringing together academic, educational, and public stakeholders to foster a safe, inclusive, and character-building learning environment.

During the exhibition, PRME UNY showcased various activities and research trajectories centered on eco-materials, materials engineering, sustainable manufacturing, and sustainable technological innovations. This presence was part of an effort to broaden the dissemination of research outcomes while demonstrating the center’s practical contributions to society. PRME’s involvement in the INSAN Festival held academic significance by facilitating the translation of knowledge and innovation into real-world applications. Research was not confined to laboratory settings or scholarly dissemination; rather, it was communicated to the public through educational and interactive activities. This approach encourages the application of academic knowledge to support learning processes, technological literacy, creativity, and the development of a positive educational environment.

Through this engagement, PRME UNY demonstrated that the development of sustainable technologies and materials can be integrated into a broader educational ecosystem. Interactions with festival participants provided an opportunity to highlight the importance of innovation, technology, safety, sustainability, and experiential learning in fostering an educational system that is adaptive to the demands of the times. Participation in ICERI 2026 and the INSAN Jogja Anti-Bullying Festival further strengthens the role of PRME UNY in bridging research, education, innovation, and community service. These activities are part of PRME UNY’s commitment to ensuring that research outcomes are not only academically relevant but also effectively disseminated to provide tangible benefits to society. Through active engagement in various academic forums and public initiatives, PRME UNY continues to bolster a research ecosystem oriented toward innovation, sustainability, and social impact. Participation in the INSAN Jogja Anti-Bullying Festival serves as a concrete example of PRME’s contribution to bringing academic values ​​and technological innovation closer to the community.
