Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,

Alhamdulillah. This is another historic moment for the IOU. I am pleased to know that the Department of Business Administration is organizing another International Conference, during 26-27 August 2022, “The 2nd IOU Conference on Research and Integrated Sciences (IOUCRIS) 2022". I am also thrilled to know that 118 research papers, among which are 100 papers that have been accepted, have been submitted for this conference from all over the world.

The IOU has always been globally known for its teaching excellence. We are currently focusing on developing a good reputation for research excellence. The IOU organized its first-ever conference (IOUCRIS 2021) last year in 2021. And now, we perceive the 2nd IOUCRIS 2022 as another step towards our research journey,  in addition to our current relentless research engagements like our routine publication the ‘Journal of Integrated Sciences'.

In addition to its academic value, this conference has also created collaboration and networking opportunities for the IOU staff and students. In conclusion, I am pleased to realize that the conference will grant awards for the best paper and the best student participant.  This will in sha' Allah motivate our scholars to participate in similar conferences in the future.  

May Allah assist us and guide us to focus more on academic activities that aim to empower global societies and communities to achieve the IOU motto of changing the nation through education.
