Scholarship for Participants from Developing Countries:


One of the major objectives of this Conference is to promote international exchange among participants from different cultures. The Organizers believe that professionals from many developing countries where different rich cultural heritages are present will be able to contribute their local ideas, knowledge and practice experiences to the Conference. The captioned scholarship scheme is therefore set up to finance potential participants from developing countries who can contribute to the conference but are in need of financial support in order to make those contributions.
