Om Swastiastu, Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, May God Bless us all, Salam Harmoni.

We are offering our most sincere gratitude to Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wasa/Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, God Almighty, for the graces that have been granted upon us so that we can all gather here to hold the fourth International Conference on Innovative Research Across Discipline, with themed “Enhancing Sustainable Development through Innovation and Creativity”.

First of all, let me thank the President of Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, the Keynote Speakers, the Invited Speakers, and all the committee for the collaboration in establishing this event. This conference was initiated and organized by the Research Institute of Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha back in 2015. It means progress has been made, including a shift to virtual conference today. It must not have been easy. Therefore, I congratulate the Research Institute of Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha for successfully tackle the challenges and strive to hold this event as an academic vessel for academicians, scholars, and researchers across Indonesia and the globe.

Honourable Keynote Speakers, Respected Researchers, and Esteemed Scholars,
Welcome to North Bali, Welcome to Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha, Welcome to the fourth International Conference on Innovative Research Across Discipline. I would love it so much if I can welcome you all in North Bali, to our little pride, Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha. Yet, due to the pandemic, virtual meeting has become the norm. I believe, virtual meetings like this will not lessen the essence of this conference. In fact, I believe this has massively increased the conference availability and diversity.

Honourable researchers,
The advance of human civilization has brought us here today. Yet, the adoption of technologies in the name of economic and social progress for our better lives has placed our planet in a crisis. Hence, we all need to take responsibility, in every aspect of our work and professional lives, which leads us to our theme, Enhancing Sustainable Development through Innovation and Creativity.
