This event has 2 sessions, the first session is a seminar and workshop and then the second session the participants present the results of research papers. In session 2, all participants were divided into 6 classes, namely class A, B, C, DE, and F. This class division was carried out to minimize time and adjust the number of participants who would present papers quite a lot.
On the other hand, this seminar was held because it followed government regulations that lecturers are obliged to fulfill the three pillars of higher education, including teaching, research and community service.
In addition, the purpose of holding this national seminar is for the participants to be more innovative in teaching and learning activities. Apart from that, this is so that we can establish friendships from the various universities that attend, and get to know the various research patterns. Budhi Martana as the secretary of LPPM UPNVJ hopes that the academic atmosphere, especially at UPNVJ, will be more diverse and innovative in accordance with the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education's directives which are in accordance with the times and 4.0-based education. Like the duties of lecturers in general, they are not only good at teaching but also doing research and community service.
