Jakarta, INTI - The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), through the Energy and Manufacturing Research Organization (OREM), held the International Conference on Sustainable Energy Engineering and Application (ICSEEA) in Serpong, South Tangerang City, on Tuesday, February 3, 2026. The Chair of the ICSEEA 2026 Organizing Committee, Ludfi Pratiwi Bowo, explained that the conference serves as a strategic platform connecting research, policy, and real-world implementation in the development of sustainable energy and transportation systems.
She added that the strong participation of researchers, the diversity of topics, and international engagement reflect a shared commitment to addressing the challenges of the energy transition.
“Through cross-disciplinary, cross-sector, and cross-country collaboration, this conference is expected not only to produce meaningful scientific contributions but also to drive evidence-based innovations that have a direct impact on society and a sustainable future,” she said.
Meanwhile, Cuk Supriyadi Ali Nandar, Head of OREM BRIN, stated that ICSEEA 2026 emphasizes the importance of global collaboration in responding to the complexities of energy transformation and transportation systems.
“Transportation resilience, the transition toward clean energy, as well as the use of digitalization and artificial intelligence are key pillars in building systems that are safe, reliable, and sustainable,” he said.
Driving Evidence-Based Solutions Through International Collaboration
According to Cuk, the diverse participation from various countries and sectors reflects a collective commitment to generating solutions grounded in innovation and scientific evidence.
“Through this forum, it is hoped that sustainable synergies will be built, meaningful knowledge exchange will take place, and concrete cooperation will emerge that can deliver real impacts on energy reliance, economic competitiveness, and sustainable development at both national and global levels,” he explained.
Meanwhile, Aam Muharam, Head of BRIN’s Research Center for Transportation Technology, stated that strengthening transportation resilience cannot be achieved through a single-sector approach, but instead requires cross-disciplinary collaboration.
“These efforts include the development of vehicle technologies and propulsion systems, improvements in energy efficiency, electrification, safety and security aspects, as well as the integration of policies and supporting infrastructure,” he explained.
Aam noted that through the Resilient Transportation subtheme, ICSEEA 2026 is positioned as a focused platform for knowledge exchange and research collaboration.
“ICSEEA 2026 promotes more targeted knowledge sharing and research collaboration to produce transportation solutions that are adaptive, safe, low-emission, and relevant to both national needs and global dynamics,” said Aam.
The forum serves as a strategic space bringing together researchers, academics, industry players, policymakers, and other stakeholders to discuss and accelerate the development of sustainable innovation in the energy and transportation sectors.
Conclusion
ICSEEA 2026 demonstrates the growing importance of global collaboration in tackling the complex challenges of energy transition and transportation resilience. By fostering evidence-based innovation, cross-sector cooperation, and focused research partnerships, the conference aims to deliver practical solutions that enhance energy security, reduce emissions, and support sustainable economic growth at both national and international levels.
