Also on the agenda were a one-day PhD symposium where research students were able to present their work to the international community and develop their professional network; one-day tutorials delivered by experts; and two half-day workshops on the Internet of Things and big data for industry engineers and university scholars.

I hope the students will take advantage of the opportunity to speak with and learn from senior researchers and build their international network. Ultimately, our youth are the future of the ICT sector and of our nation. It is critical that we continue to encourage and support them in their academic pursuits.”
