AIOU to hold national graduate conference

Islamabad: Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) will hold a National Graduate Conference soon to provide a platform to young researchers to promote their research-based work that helps the society to solve socio-economic issues.

This is the part of the University’s regular activities to promote creativity and innovations in the academic pursuits, said a press release issued here. Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Shahid Siddiqui has decided that the conference will be a regular feature to promote research culture in the country.

The graduate forum provides an opportunity for the graduate students (Masters and above) to share their research work that has already been finalized or is in process. The participation in the conference will be open for the students other than the AIOU. It is the second such event that will enable the graduates to develop their research works into publishable literature.

The university will offer a space for inter-disciplinary interaction for developing cross-disciplinary research proposals and to bring innovation in research at graduate level. The event is being organised by the varsity’s Office of Research Innovation and Commercialisation (ORIC).
