An Inspiring Moment with Indonesian Scientists
The presence of Dr. Khoirul Anwar was a magnet in itself at this year’s BSC upgrading event. In his presentation, he emphasized that true professionalism is not only measured by technical ability, but also by ethics, integrity, and consistency in contributing.
 
“Professionalism is not just about skills, but about attitude and values. In the modern era, professionalism requires collaboration across disciplines, institutions, and even countries,” said Dr. Khoirul in front of the participants.
 
He also highlighted that interdisciplinary research is the key to addressing global challenges in science and technology. “Future challenges such as climate change, energy, health, and artificial intelligence cannot be solved by one field of science. International collaboration is a catalyst for scientific reputation and research sustainability,” he said.
