GOMBAK, 23 May 2023: To acknowledge IIUM academics’ hard work in conducting their research and producing publications, the Responsible Research and Innovation Appreciation Day (RRIAD) 2023 was organised by IIUM Research Management Centre (RMC) and held on 15th May 2023.
According to RMC, Responsible Research includes ethical, sustainable, and socially helpful research other than merely solving a problem.
Thus, RRIAD is one of the platforms that IIUM has initiated to honour and recognise academic members who have excelled in their innovative and published research and publications.
Additionally, it serves as a platform to motivate IIUM staff to publish and conduct research in an excellent manner.
