The Faculty of Psychology at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), in collaboration with the Indonesian Neuropsychology Association (ANI), continued the first ANI National Scientific Meeting (Temilnas I ANI) on Saturday (September 26) at the UC Hotel Ballroom. Following discussions on the practical applications of neuropsychology through workshops on the first day, the second day addressed broader challenges, including professional workforce development, assessment tool development, and building a scientific ecosystem that meets the needs of Indonesian society.

The development of neuropsychology in Indonesia has highlighted the need to strengthen the capacity of academics and practitioners, particularly in applying knowledge of the brain and cognition to education, assessment, and intervention. In response to this need, the Indonesian Neuropsychology Association (Asosiasi Neuropsikologi Indonesia/ANI) organized its first National Scientific Meeting (Temu Ilmiah Nasional/Temilnas), themed “Bridging Science and Strengthening the Neuropsychology Ecosystem.” The Faculty of Psychology at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) hosted the event from Friday to Sunday (September 25–27).
