Distinguished researchers, academics, students, brothers and sisters,
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
I must say that I am very pleased to welcome you to this 2nd
International Open University, which is “Conference on Research and
Integrated Sciences (IOUCRIS) 2022. I am thankful to all the
participants, keynote speakers, and the guests for attending this
conference to make it a success.
I specially thank the Keynote Speakers for their time and efforts. I also
highly appreciate the organizing committee and its members for making the conference a reality. They really turned it from a dream to reality, Alhamdulillah.
The International Open University (IOU) was launched by Dr. Bilal Philips in 2007 as a higher education institution that offers intensive online degree programs. The IOU is committed to spreading beneficial knowledge that is easily affordable and will benefit not only individual students and our graduates, but also empower entire communities around the globe.
The IOU is engaged in academic research, research training, journals publishing, and very recently, it took initiatives for organizing international conferences. We aim to create knowledge, develop collaboration with other institutions around the world, and foster research excellence.
We are very keen to improve the careers of our young academics and other researchers by enhancing their abilities for further growth and development. For the 2nd IOUCRIS 2022, we have received research
papers from numerous key areas, including Arabic Language and Literature, Business Administration, Education, Information Technology, Islamic Studies, Islamic Economics, Banking and Finance, and
Psychology. Alhamdulillah, we have received 116 research papers at this conference which is more than three times compared to our last conference. I highly appreciate our colleagues for making this conference a reality.
This conference is another milestone for our university towards achieving research excellence, inshaAllah. We will continue to engage ourselves in research to bring real-life solutions to societal problems. May Allah bless all of you. Once again thank you very much for participating in this
conference. JazakAllahu Khair.
