Conferences are an invaluable resource for academics, offering more than just opportunities to present research. They provide a platform to engage with field experts, receive guidance and mentorship, particularly for postgraduate students, initiate collaborations on papers or projects, and advance professional development. The Directorate of Research, Innovation, and Outreach now coordinates conferences hosted directly by the various schools within the university, ensuring each event reflects the specific focus and expertise of its academic unit. These school-based conferences are held throughout the year and continue to attract high-quality research papers and presentations from scholars locally and internationally.
