The 8th Rural Research and Planning Group (RRPG) International Conference and Field Study as well as BUMDES Expo were held from 16-17 May at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) Centre for Rural and Regional Studies.

The event was themed Innovations of Rural Development for Implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
