This collaboration can produce research that can produce various benefits for society.
In his presentation, Prof. (Em.) Budiarso suggested the use of pico hydro as a means of electrifying remote areas in Indonesia. Pico hydro is a hydroelectric power plant that can produce up to 5 kW of power and can be made using easily found tools, so it can be easily applied in less affordable areas.
Meanwhile, Prof. Nyoman explained that in the 4.0 era, the most important thing for industry or research is sustainability. Currently, large companies must contribute in reducing emissions, so sustainability needs to be an important agenda.
