Abstract

The 7th International Conference on Mathematics, Science and Education 2020 (ICMSE2020) is the international conference organized by Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Universitas Negeri Semarang (Indonesia) under the theme of Accelerating Innovative Research from Laboratory to Industry. This conference aims to discuss the innovation of the laboratory research as well as to downstream those innovative products.Since the world has faced the global Covid-19 pandemic, it would be too risky to hold international conference through direct plenary meeting. Therefore, the conference that was originally conducted in Semarang, Indonesia, on 6 October 2020 but then it was converted into virtual conference to protect participants from Corona Virus transmission. In addition, travel restrictions also prevented participants from attending the conference onsite, then the virtual conference setting was decided as the best option to keep the conference ran on schedule.The keynote and invited speakers from five countries consisting of Asst. Prof. Dr. Chalongrat Daengngam (Thailand), Assoc. Prof. Stephane Bressan (Singapore), Asst. Prof. Aditya P. Adiredja, Ph.D (USA), Assoc. Prof. Ch.M Dr. Roswanira Abdul Wahab (Malaysia), and Prof. Dr. Ir. Amin Retnoningsih, M.Si (Indonesia) delivered their talk through video conference, and the technology support to deliver the conference was “Zoom Video Conferencing” software. All keynote speakers shared the material from their countries as well as the participants.There were three sessions which involved opening, invited speaker presentation and authors’ parallel presentation. Opening session consisting of keynote speech and opening remark lasted 20 minutes, followed by each invited speaker presentation for 20 minutes and each author presentation took 10 minutes. The breakout rooms were provided to facilitate authors in presenting their research result. Every parallel session was guided by one moderator to lead the discussion. Participants still could involve themselves in the intellectual discussion in invited speakers and parallel sessions although the conference was conducted virtually as they could write the question through chat box or directly deliver their question.Finally, the committees via review stage selected the papers-presented in this forum to be published in Journal of Physics: Conference Series (Institute of Physics Publisher) indexed in some databases, including the Conference citation index, Scopus, Chemical s Service, and Astrophysics Data System. We hope that this program will expand the mutual understanding and respect in stimulating research in Mathematics, Science, and Education; share research interest and information, and create a form of collaboration and build a trust relationship. We are delighted to be able to show the world what recent developments in the field of Mathematics, Natural Science, and Science Education through this fruitful program.As conclusion, we would like to acknowledge to all of supporting teams, especially the organizing committee members and reviewers, for their great contribution in conference organization. We hope that this program will further encourage research publication in Mathematics, Natural Science, and Science Education and build trust relationship. We feel honoured and privileged to serve the best recent developments in the field of Mathematics, Natural Science, and Science Education to you through this exciting program.ChairpersonProf. Dr. Dyah Rini Indriyanti, M.P.List of Committees, Images are available in this pdf.
