HumasUPNVJ - IJCST ( International Joint Conference on Science and Technology ) was originally a joint international conference initiated by several State Universities in East Java, Bali and Sulawesi. The conference accepts and reviews papers on all topics. Accepted papers have been published in ASL, IOP, and AP. In 2018, IJCST has been recognized as the leading consortium in Indonesia. Various conferences have been held under the umbrella of IJCST, in particular ICST (International Conference on Science and Technology) and ICSS (International Conference on Social Science). Every year, IJCST "publishes" more than 1000 open access papers.

Of the many papers submitted, UPNVJ succeeded in becoming one of the best paper winners represented by the Faculty of Engineering by sending 18 papers (9 papers for lecturers, 9 student papers). The paper from Reda Rizal himself as Dean of FT UPNVJ entitled " Analysis of the ambient air environment of the steam power plant industry ". Reda explained on the occasion when he was interviewed by the PR team that, "The results of this research were done while I was a consultant at UI from 1999 to 2014, one of which is this paper that I published. In addition, the goal is to show that burning coal for power generation causes pollution above standards.” he said

“God willing, the winning scientific work will then be published in a reputable international journal Q3 indexed by Scopus Q3. Hopefully the involvement of the Faculty of Engineering in this event can motivate other Faculty lecturers at UPNVJ to be able to participate in other international events. Live this life with the principle of making improvements/changes and minimizing the ENTROPY of life. Close Reda
