Ladies and gentlemen, warm greetings from Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana!

Welcome to the International Conference on Mathematics and Physics (IconMaP) 2023!

We are so grateful that finally we could conduct the IConMaP in hybrid mode, after the terrible yet impactful pandemic. IConMaP is an integrated part of the 5th International Conference on Science and Science Education (IConSSE), a sequence of biennial international workshops organized by Faculty of Science and Mathematics (FSM), Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana (UKSW). This year Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) join as co-hosts. The IConMaP 2023 talks and discussion focus on “The Significant Involvement of Mathematics and Physics in the VUCA World” in which VUCA stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity. It shares key issues in educational challenges and emerging trends within the education system on mathematics, physics, mathematics education, and physics education to face the unpredictable force of change over the post-pandemic era and rapid advances in technology. Education has to adopt a learning culture and life-connected learning by implementing the decision making process, innovation, and creativity, searching for opportunities, and contextual thinking to meet all the requirements according to global competence and trends, without forgetting the aim of education itself.

IConMaP is marked as a part of the scheme to achieve Strategic Performance Indicators (IKS) in terms of increasing the number of publications of scientific articles at the international level and enhancing the number of international partnerships as well.

We hope that this conference could be a wonderful place to share the main role and challenges of mathematics, physics, mathematics education, and physics education in the VUCA World; to give insight how science teachers, researchers, and practician can survive in the VUCA world; to share experiences, new skills, approaches, and behaviors to manage ubiquitous and global events; and to establish relationships and connections related to education among the participants, which is addressed effectively in an adaptation turbulent environment. May we enjoy an academic fellowship of profound insights, visionary thinking, and long last networking that deeply resonate and inspire all of us here.

To all participants, invited speakers, presenters, and participants who participated onsite at the UKSW Salatiga Indonesia and online over the Google Meet platform, we welcome you to the IconMaP 2023 and thank you for your involvement and invaluable contribution. Moreover, we are honorably grateful for the keynote speakers: Dr. Joel Tiu Maquiling and Prof. Dr. Adi Setiawan, M.Sc. and also all scholars who have dedicated their time and expertise to make this conference a reality. Your contributions are the bedrock upon which we build our collective understanding, and we are indebted to your commitment to the pursuit of knowledge. Furthermore, we would like to acknowledge our deepest gratitude to rector Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana Prof. Dr. Intiyas Utami, S.E., M.Si., Ak for the abundance of support to make the IConMaP 2023 event succeed.

Last but not least, we invite you to immerse yourselves in the rich tapestry of ideas and discoveries that await us in the coming days. Let us harness the spirit of inquiry and cooperation to drive progress, inspire change, and make the world a better place through the power of knowledge!

Have a fruitful and joyful conference!
