This collaboration is proof of the commitment of the Unud Postgraduate Program in supporting the development of science oriented towards sustainable development.

The Deputy Director of the Udayana University Postgraduate Program, Prof. Ir. Ida Ayu Astarini, M.Sc., Ph.D, stated in her speech, "We strongly support this collaboration and hope to continue to play a role in producing research that not only solves practical problems but also prioritizes sustainability in every road development policy. This collaboration serves as a foundation for creating better solutions in facing complex development challenges."

The seminar featured various speakers who are experts in the fields of infrastructure, food, energy, and water, who discussed how sustainable road development can be an important link in supporting the resilience of these three sectors. The speakers emphasized the importance of careful planning in road development that is not only functional and efficient, but also environmentally friendly and sustainable.

With the seminar and the signing of the cooperation agreement, Udayana University's postgraduate program hopes to strengthen the synergy between the academic world and practitioners, as well as encourage research and innovative solutions that can support sustainable development in Indonesia. (bmp)
