1st call for international writing workshop “Enhance research skills
and publication capacity of early career researchers from local
universities in ASEAN”
Dear Early-Career Researchers (ECRs) from the Southeast Asian countries
We would like to invite you to participate in a three-day (in-person) International Writing
Workshop funded by the British Academy (UK), organized at Ton Duc Thang University,
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from 30 June to 2 July 2025.
Participation is free, and travelling expenses and accommodation for the workshop will
be supported by the funder.
This Workshop aims to provide essential training on research writing skills to enhance the
research capacity of early-career researchers in ASEAN. The workshop is also a valuable
opportunity for ongoing networking and collaboration among ECRs in Southeast Asia and
with well-established scholars from the UK. The sustained collaboration of these groups
will enhance the likelihood that more research outputs will be published in high-quality
journals and more research grants will be funded.
Planned program
Day 1: How to conduct research in social science
Day 2: Improve critical writing skills; How to publish your research (publication standard
and practice)
Day 3: Writing and presenting your research papers.
Facilitators:
Professor Teeven Soobaroyen, Aston Business School, Aston University, UK

Associate Professor Subhan Ullah, Nottingham University Business School, University
of Nottingham, UK
https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/business/people/lizsu1.phtml
Organizers:
Professor Tam Nguyen, Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University, UK
Associate Professor Hanh Le, Ton Duc Thang University, Vietnam
Participants’ selection
The participants are from Southeast Asian countries: Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia,
Philippines, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, etc.
The participants must be early career researchers (within 10 years since completed PhD).
To enhance equality, diversity and inclusion, the priorities are given to ECRs (but not
limited): women, ECRs with disabilities, ECRs from a rural or remote area, ECRs having
schooling in a non-English language, being a first-generation graduate, being from a
religious minority, or working for local universities.
An application should include:
(i) An abstract and introduction of the working paper
(ii) A curriculum vitae and brief of publication plan
(iii) A writing plan ECRs will complete during the project period
(iv) A letter of recommendation or support from the head of the department or university
to ensure ECRs will be allowed sufficient dedicated time to take part in the project if their
applications are successful.
How to apply for the workshop:
Please submit your application with title: “International Writing Workshop 2025” to

Wibowo Harry Sugiharto carried out dissertation research with the title “IoT-Based Water Quality Monitoring Framework for Mitigation and Early Detection of Water Pollution Using the New IKA Model” and led him to obtain a Doctorate degree at Undip’s Information Systems Doctoral Study Program (DSI).
Dr. Wibowo Harry Sugiharto, S.Kom, M.Kom successfully achieved a doctorate after defending his dissertation in an open examination in front of examiners at the Undip Postgraduate Building on Friday, February 7 2025.
Acting as an examiner for Prof. Dr. rer. Nat. Heru Susanto, ST, MM, MT (Promoter ) Agung Budi Prasetijo, S.T., M.IT, Ph.D (Co Promoter) Prof. Ir. Muhammad Nizam, S.T., M.T., Ph.D., IPM (External Examiner / Sebelas Maret University Surakarta) Prof. Dr. Ir. Purwanto, DEA. (Examiner 1 ) Dinar Mutiara Kusumo Nugraheni, S.T., M.InfoTech.(Comp)., Ph.D. (Examiner 2), and Prof. Dr. Rahmat Gernowo, M.Si (Head of Information Systems Doctoral Study Program).
According to Dr. Wibowo Harry Sugiharto, S.Kom, M.Kom that this dissertation discusses the development of an IoT framework based on mathematical models for real-time monitoring of water quality.
“This research proposes a new water quality index (IKA) model which includes five main steps, namely IoT system development, integration of the IKA model with real-time sensor data, data normalization using Gaussian and polynomial curve fitting, parameter weighting using the AHP method, and system integration testing,” said Dr. Wibowo Harry.
that this dissertation discusses the development of a mathematical model-based IoT framework for real-time water quality monitoring.
“This research proposes a new water quality index (IKA) model which includes five main steps, namely IoT system development, integration of the IKA model with real-time sensor data, data normalization using Gaussian and polynomial curve fitting, parameter weighting using the AHP method, and system integration testing,” said Dr. Wibowo Harry.
“The research results show that the Gaussian model has an accuracy of 97.54% and an execution time of 83.55% faster than linear interpolation, while parameter weighting with AHP shows that the grouping approach is more consistent with a consistency ratio of 0.02 compared to individual 0.08,” he added.
The integration trial succeeded in acquiring 6,779 data and proved that the system was able to detect changes in water parameters effectively for pollution mitigation.
The application of IoT technology in water quality monitoring enables real-time change detection, supporting better decision making and thus accelerating mitigation of worsening environmental conditions.
Dr. Wibowo Harry added that mathematical models such as the Water Quality Index or IKA have several main advantages. This model is light, transparent and flexible, making it easy to adapt to various needs. Additionally, it does not require large datasets or heavy computing infrastructure, making it more efficient than learning-based methods.
The Water Quality Index (IKA) plays an important role in providing a comprehensive assessment of water quality conditions through the integration of physical, chemical and biological parameters. To date, more than 35 IKA models have been implemented in various countries as an important tool in water resources management.
