�indings, despite current restrictions on international mobility, he said via live recording shown at the opening ceremony at UiTM Sarawak branch campus here yesterday.
“For this year’s special edition conference, not only do we need to create stronger networks that are of exceptional value, but, we and the rest of the world eagerly await the most recent innovation in science and technology developments that can help us face post-Covid-19 challenges with ease and assurance.”
Hence, he said, the conference was themed ‘Innovative Sciences and
Technologies in the Sustainability of Future Global Economy in Embracing Post Covid-19 Challenges’.
“In the face of a crisis that knows no borders, it is important that we continue to engage and collaborate with international universities and industries. By working with established universities, we can learn more quickly and also forge alliances that, in the face of future crises, will allow for actions in a
coordinated and more ef�icient manner, especially in sharing of resources and technological solutions.
