The world is facing a new pandemic in 2020 that causes many changes in people’s life. Almost all fields have been affected by it. That is why the integration of multidisciplinary studies is needed to solve the problem so that humans can continue to live well by adapting to the new normal.

Acceleration and expansion offered by information technology have developed in such a way that it affects human existence and how to do things in ways that were not thought of before. The progress implies that many of the existing understandings, social practices and norms are in a position of necessity to contest, adapt, and even change. If not, then we will miss many things both opportunities and roles. Furthermore, if this development is not adequately anticipated, we may not only fail to anticipate contemporary challenges but also fail to understand the complexity of reality.

In the field of scientific studies, the above phenomena have received numerous and varied responses from many circles. In relation to the relationship between religion, science, and technology, many scientific studies have been conducted as richly as possible, and have produced interesting findings. In acknowledgment of the pressures between science and religion, and as an inquiry about progressively enters value-laden areas, propositions have been made for researchers to lock in with other communities on the moral, lawful, and social suggestions of science and innovations and for the ‘public voice’ to be brought into the developmental stages of decision-making.

LP2M UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang is pleased to announce that it had hosted the 2nd International Conference on Engineering, Technology, and Social Science (ICONETOS) 2020 on 31 October 2020 via online video conference. This international level conference aims to be more specific in the development and cutting-edge papers related to Engineering, Technology, and Social Sciences.

The main goal of the ICONETOS 2020 is to provide an opportunity for academicians and professionals from various Engineering, Technology, and Social Science related fields from all over the world to come together and learn from each other. An additional goal of the conference is to provide a place for academicians and professionals with cross-disciplinary interests related to Engineering, Technology, and Social Science to meet and interact with members inside and outside their own disciplines.
