International Conference on Academia-Community Engagement (InACE)

Introduction

The International Conference on Academia-Community Engagement (InACE) provides a platform that enables academicians, researchers, professionals, students and organizations from around the world to share valuable information and experience which will subsequently contribute to carrying out more refined community projects. The goal of this conference is to improve the quality of future community projects by exchanging insights via oral and poster presentations. InACE will involve speakers with professional expertise and experiences in the implementation and development of community projects. The anticipated participation by the guest will allow a greater contribution in achieving the maximum impact. InACE will be held as a hybrid conference (virtual and physical), with the physical conference conducted in Kuala Lumpur. This year, the conference will be co-organised with Universitas Airlangga, Indonesia. The partnership established between the two universities through the World University Association for Community Development (WUACD) is expected to involve other members and networks from around the world.
