The 5th ICIIS is Closed, the Committee Selects the Three Best Papers
Lombok, UIN News Online – The 5th annual International Colloqium on Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies (ICIIS) 2022 in Lombok was officially closed this Thursday (10/20/2022). The organizing committee also selects the three best papers from 45 selected papers by participants.
The colloquium which was held by the Graduate School (SPs) of UIN Jakarta in collaboration with a number of partner universities was closed by the Rector of UIN Jakarta Amany Lubis. In her closing remarks, Rector Amany appreciated the success of this academic forum.
“I express my appreciation to the committee for making this event a success. I would also like to thank the speakers, university leaders, and participants who were involved in this activity,” said Rector Amany.
Rector Amany added that the colloquium filled with panels of expert speakers and presentations of papers provided a lot of useful information for the contribution of the academic world to people's lives. “I believe that our discussions in these two days provided a lot of valuable information and lessons,” she added.
The world and people's lives after the pandemic since almost the last three years, she explained, require many scientific perspectives in understanding various problems and finding solutions. “The world (post-pandemic, ed.) is full of challenges and worries, but we still have to be optimistic,” said Amany.
This, she explained, could be done by creating innovations on various social problems in line with Islamic teachings and universal human values. “Various information during this academic forum is very useful in expanding our mutual understanding in terms of research, religion, education, science, and technology,” she said.
