On October 31, the first International Conference on Technology and Science (ICOTENS 2024), which was organized by Pakuan University's Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, came to a triumphant conclusion. The conference, which had as its theme "Transformation Towards Sustainable Natural Sciences," brought together scientists and specialists from around the world to solve urgent environmental issues using a multidisciplinary approach that integrated computer science, biology, chemistry, mathematics, and pharmacy. This momentous occasion demonstrated Pakuan University's dedication to promoting sustainable solutions based on cutting-edge technology and thorough scientific research.

A wide range of scholarly contributions from several domains were given at ICOTENS 2024. The importance of modeling and prediction in comprehending environmental changes and maximizing resources for conservation was highlighted in mathematical talks. Research in biology examined how pollution and climate change affect biodiversity, while chemistry advances concentrated on environmentally friendly technology and sustainable materials. Pharmacy contributions showed how to manufacture pharmaceuticals in a sustainable way, and computer science was crucial in applying data analytics, AI, and machine learning to resource management and environmental monitoring.

Two plenary sessions featuring eminent keynote speakers were presented at ICOTENS 2024. Asep Denih, S.Kom., M.Sc., Ph.D., dean of FMIPA UNPAK, moderated the first plenary session, which featured presentations from Prof. Dr. Anna Permanasari, M.Si. from Universitas Pakuan and Prof. Dr. Eng.
