This year's forum of the Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies (AIIAS) aims to address the basic concerns of the developing world, particularly in the area of intellectual capital, information literacy, and quality of life. Through the lens of business, education, and public health, the goal of the Forum is to achieve reform that is culturally appropriate and sustainable over time. More than an opportunity to discuss preferences, however, this conference is a challenge to provide data to enlighten the conversation-data collected and interpreted by those living and working in the developing world, who can provide an insider perspective.
The Forum is of particular interest to academics, researchers, educators and practitioners interested in current research results. Conference activities include
Presentations of new ideas, research findings, and recommend changes
Networking opportunities and interaction with other participants
