Hakim, Dr Leksono, Dr Purnomo, and others Dear participants Ass. Wr. Wb. It is our great pleasure to organize and present The Seminar on Interdisciplinary Research in Natural Resources and Environmental Management at the Graduate School Brawijaya University. I am greatly honored and pleased to welcome you all to this seminar.

UB GRADUATE SCHOOL THE CENTRE FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES: 1.Environmental & Development Studies 2.Woman Studies 3.National Security Studies THE CENTRE FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES: 1.Environmental & Development Studies 2.Woman Studies 3.National Security Studies ‘the smart card into the future world ’ Welcome to our campuss

C.I.S. THE CENTRE FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES: Goals: Promote and enhance any interdisciplinary studies to solve “the real-world problems”. Facilitate student in designing the “problem base learning program” and in conducting any ”independent learning” program. Interdisciplinary program challenges any students to learn “across multiple disciplines” and develop their academic focus “specifically” and “individual”. Sejak saat para mahasiswa memasuki Program Studi, mereka harus mulai menyusun “The Learning Program”.

‘ the smart card into the future world ’ DUNIA MASA DEPAN memerlukan “scholars” yang menguasai pendekatan-global untuk menjawab permasalahan pembangunan. Tidak lagi memadai hanya menguasai satu disiplin atau satu bidang kajian saja. Inquiry & discovery would be an interdisciplinary approach Oleh karena itu, misi Program Studi Interdisiplin adalah “membedah” batas-batas tradisional yang ada di antara disiplin, untuk membantu mahasiswa mengembangkan pengetahuan dan ketrampilan melakukan riset secara “smart” to solve any “present and future” real-world problems.

“We are not students of some subject matter, but students of problems. And problems may cut right across the borders of any subject matter or discipline.” Karl Popper (The Growth of Scientific Knowledge)

Since several years ago, we have organized seminars, conferences and workshops, in order to enhance our vision and mission to achieve our graduate school objectives: Promoting and Enhancing Interdisciplinary studies to solve any complicated real world problems.

INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDY PROGRAM (ISP): The main student competencies are: Menggunakan ketrampilan kajian/ riset interdisiplin untuk mengintegrasikan beragam perspektif Bekerja secara efektif dalam lingkungan kolaboratif. Mengkomunikasikan secara efektif hasil kajiannya kepada khalayak luas. Memahami dan menilai beragam pendekatan untuk problem-solving Refleksi diri untuk peningkatan kualitas personal dan professional secara terus menerus

Our graduate school fundamentally focuses on interdisciplinary studies, both Master and Doctoral degree. - - Environmental & Development studies -Woman Studies -National Security Studies - and others

Mission & Phylosophy Interdisciplinary Study Program “menyiapkan mahasiswa untuk mampu mengkaji masalah pembangunan aktual yang kompleks dengan cara riset independen yang mengintegrasikan dua atau lebih perspektif dan metodologi disiplin ilmu. Mission of the ISP are strengthening the basic values: 1. Discovery and Innovation; 2. Education First; 3. Integrity and Accountability; 4. Diversity; 5. Inclusiveness and Respect; 6. Energized Collaborative Communities. ‘the smart card into the future world ’

The ISP basic values are : “Belajar diperkaya dengan mencari pengetahuan melintasi batas disiplin keilmuan” Therefore the ISP are: student center learning Interdisciplinary Research Multi-methodology and multi-dimensional approaches.

Riset Interdisiplin bertumpu pada “discipline-based knowledge”, menghasilkan “integrated solutions to problems” yang melintasi batas disiplin keilmuan. Therefore ISP are: Problem base learning Mengintegrasikan atribut-atribut dari suatu pendekatan interdiscipliner dengan dilandasi fokus akademik yang akurat Menyediakan landasan yang kuat dalam hal teori, konsep dan metodologi dari dua atau lebih disiplin keilmuan

Pembelajaran berlangsung dalam lingkungan akademik yang terbuka terhadap beragam ide, latar budaya, perspetif disiplin ilmu, dan pendekatan, untuk men- solusi masalah. Therefore the ISP : appreciate any disciplines or field of studies integrate any scientific perspectives in learning theoritical instruments and rersearch methodologies so students can “rove” into the future world.

Studies on economic development and environmental problems are an interdisciplinary academic field and have its characters to crosses traditional boundaries between academic disciplines. It is especially important in the recent millennium to enhance our sustainable life in biosphere.

Masyarakat mendapatkan banyak manfaat dari kerja kolaboratif yang lintas disiplin untuk men-solusi masalah- masalah pembangunan Therefore the ISP: Empowering student as a “multi-functional” expert; by combining any relevant competencies to solve the real world problems Facilitating students in gaining any competencies needed to work in the collaborative environment. SIBERMAS: Community Resources Synergism

I would like to thank all of participants for their valuable contributions. Though this seminar, we will share our knowledge and experiences on interdisciplinary studies in order to achieve sustainability of our earth- biosphere. May the conference a complete success! thanks for your attention Malang, August 2011, Soemarno Wass.
