Honorable Chancellor, Vice-chancellor, Deputy Vice-Chancellors of
International Open University (IOU), distinguished guests, keynote
speakers, honorable faculty members and staff, researchers, paper
presenters, audience, and my beloved students, Assalamu Alaikum
Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
I am very excited to welcome you all to the 2nd International Conference of
IOU, which is 2nd IOUCRIS. This conference will run for today and tomorrow, the 26th and 27th of August 2022. The objectives of this conference are to create opportunities and foster a research culture among our academics, staff, and students. In addition to offering quality teaching,
IOU also focuses on research excellence. We regularly organize workshops and training on various issues to support our staff and students. We also publish a quarterly peer-reviewed journal, titled “Journal of
Integrated Sciences” to demonstrate our commitment to research. So, please participate in the conference activities and enrich our researchers with your valuable comments and suggestions.
You will be happy to know that today we have very special sessions for our research students where
two distinguished academics and researchers from IOU and outside will deliver their thoughtful speeches. I will request all our research students to be very attentive to those sessions and be equipped with the knowledge that will be delivered by the scholars.
I am also delighted to announce that all full papers submitted to 2nd IOUCRIS can be considered for publishing in our Journal of Integrated Sciences subject to peer review. Those who could not submit a
full paper due to time constraints, may submit their full papers by October 31st, 2022, to be considered for publication. The 2nd IOUCRIS is our 2nd International Conference. The credit goes to the Department of
Business Administration for organizing such a big conference whereas the Directorate of Research and Publications is in the overall management of the conference. I pray and hope that such a great initiative
will be continuing in the future organized by other departments, In sha’ Allah. We are open to building partnerships with other academic and business institutions to co-organize conferences in the future.
Please join me in prayers that Allah (SWT) may give us the ability to make the 2nd IOUCRIS 2022 a big success.
Dr. Afroza Bulbul Afrin, Associate Professor, Director of Research & Publications, Conference Coordinator, IOUCRIS
