As the times progressed, Biotechnology became evolved due to its wide scope of knowledge, or more easily called multidisciplinary. Many areas of science are biotechnology work areas, such as molecular biology, biochemistry, environmental biology, genetics, forensic biology, immunology, microbiology, pharmacology, botany, food technology and much more. It cannot be denied, each of these scholars have its own peculiarities, causing some difficulty of mixing up with each other. However, the combination of these disciplines is anticipated in order to bring more benefits to the audience than if the field of science is run independently.
Disruptive era is happening today, which is marked by a change in the existing global business order. Many established businesses are eroded by many businesses that are smaller because of the nature of sharing economy. Big retail uprooted because online stores began scattered. Big hotel uprooted due to business model like hospitality rental. It also may also have an impact on large industries that utilize natural resources, such as Monsanto or other major pharmaceutical industries. The use of natural resources whose information is more opened will be more welcome than the disclosed research results. Just imagine a science like Chinese traditional medicine, functional food, the use of markers with technology that can be distributed cheaply will explode in the market. This poses a challenge for scientists deepening the biological disciplines and natural resources to contribute to the wider community through their respective fields. The biotechnology community recognizes the need to work with others, such as experts from various fields such as pharmacy and medicine, to come up with ideas for health improvement efforts that can meet the needs of society and not just the science that dwells in the ivory tower. Therefore, the 2nd International Conference on Natural Resources and Life Sciences – NRLS 2018 this time theme “Managing Natural Resources for Better Health“.
Coincide with it, the NRLS 2018 event also will be hosted for the Konsorsium Biologi Indonesia (KOBI) Congress-II and Ikatan Program Studi Bioteknologi Indonesia (IPSBI) Summit. It is likely that this event opens doors for collaborative opportunities for research and technology development among academics and professionals. Moreover, with the involvement of invited speakers from abroad, exchanges and allegedly research ideas with global trending can also occur.
On this occasion also, I want to inform the good news for all the colleagues, that Ubaya Biotech Store (UBS) has been initiated. UBS is a service center for biotechnology services and products which is a downstream part of research in the UBAYA Faculty of Biotechnology. Some products and services are still in the development stage, but to date, the item and service list is getting ready and increasing a lot to be too wasted if it is used only in the internal faculty. Going forward, we personally hope that will be a consortium of biotechnology services and products in the future, where relevant parties can exchange ideas in the development of biotechnology products and services and fulfill their needs.
We hope you will enjoy your time with us and being encouraged for the collaborations and friendship, scientific exchange, development of joint interests and project that are of scientific and economic importance in order to explore the natural resources and life sciences and their importance in the most aspect of living, e.g. food and health, agriculture, sustainable environment and renewable energy development.
Thank you for your time and have a nice day

Event Report
The 2nd NRLS 2018 was held on August 23–24, 2018. This conference presented eight international speakers from five countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Netherlands,
Singapore, and Thailand. Over 200 representatives of 48 institutions participated in this event, involving more than 74 abstracts submitted in the form of oral and poster
presentations. After a rigorous selection process, the Scientific & Editorial Board have decided to publish 43 manuscripts in IOP Conference Series: Earth and
Environmental Science (EES), an international proceeding indexed in Scopus, Scimago, Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Science (CPCI-S) of Clarivate Analytics’s
Web of Science, etc. From 43 selected ones above, 21 manuscripts were results of joint research between Indonesia and various countries, e.g. Australia, England, India,
Japan, Georgia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Madagascar, Malaysia, the Netherlands, the Republic of Korea, Spain, and Sweden. Those manuscripts cover various biological
themes, i.e. Food Biotechnology, Agricultural Biotechnology, Medical Biotechnology & Forensics, and Environmental Biotechnology & Renewable Energy. Each of the 43
manuscripts in IOP Conference Series–EES have been reviewed by at least two experts using double-blind system. The published manuscripts have passed all necessary
improvement requirements (according to the IOP Proceedings standard), reviewer’s comments, SI (Système International d'Unités), and similarity tests (with the highest
threshold of 25 %) as well as editing procedure by professional editors from seven countries (Georgia, India, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, and Sweden).
Our appreciation goes to the reviewers, editors, and members of the Scientific & Editorial Board for their big efforts in reviewing and improving the manuscripts. For the
generous supports in succeeding the NRLS-2018, we extend our gratitude toward the University of Surabaya’s management and supporting units, our co-hosts the Faculty
of Pharmacy and the Faculty of Medicine, and our sponsors VISION TEKNIK, SCIENCEWERKE, INDOLAB UTAMA, and MEGAH SEJAHTERA SCIENTIFIC.
