Welcome to the 3^rd International Symposium on Current Progress in Functional Materials.

Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Indonesia is warmly invite you to attend and present your papers in The International Symposium on Current Progress in Functional Materials (ISCPFM), which will be held in August 2018 from 8^th to 9^th with the theme of Functional Materials for Technologies Development. Every region in the world with their own unique geographical features possesses different biological, minerals, and natural resources. This material diversity is potential to be developed as functional materials, which can be utilized to encounter some problems in society, locally or globally. Functional materials play an important role in our everyday life, as it covers a wide range of applied sciences. From materials utilized in computer science to the ones employed to cure diseases. An exceptional growth of functional materials is promising to lead to the improvement of technologies in various fields. Scientists dedicate their research to harness the functional material’s potential to solve health problems as well as to overcome the growing energy requirement issue.

The ISCPFM established in 2016, facilitates a forum for scientist fellows as well as graduate students, master degree and doctoral degree students to share their research activities through oral and poster presentations, to be involved in intense discussions regarding the updated functional materials. The exchanging ideas between scientists from different countries and regions will accelerate technology development and application related to functional materials. The objective of this symposium is to organize an excellent networking among the researchers as well as collaborators from around the world on a single platform. It provides the opportunities for the researchers to share ideas and application experiences directly, to develop research relations and expand the research collaboration internationally. Featuring two days of interactive discussions, presentations, question and answer as well as networking sessions, this symposium gathers important topics from multiple guest speakers to share their views and research on the most updated functional materials studies.
