On 21st April 2025, Senior Lecturer Zahira Mohamed, stationed at the HDh. Kulhudhuffushi Campus, commenced participation in the virtual pre-conference workshop series for the International Conference on Intellectual Advancement 2025, which continued until 15th June 2025. The online training programme provided comprehensive guidance on key areas of academic publishing and scholarly writing, including abstract development, concept and review paper preparation, writing introductions and literature reviews, and effectively synthesising discussion and recommendation sections.

The workshop series offered participants valuable opportunities to strengthen their research and academic writing competencies while enhancing their understanding of the scholarly publication process. Through active engagement in the sessions, Ms. Zahira expanded her professional knowledge and skills in research communication, contributing to the advancement of high-quality academic scholarship and evidence-based practice.

The initiative reflects the Faculty of Education’s commitment to strengthening research capacity, promoting lifelong professional learning, and supporting academic excellence across its campuses. The knowledge and skills gained through the workshop will contribute to enhancing research productivity, academic dissemination, and scholarly engagement within the faculty and the wider university community.

The activity supports SDG 4: Quality Education by enhancing professional and research capabilities among academics; SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure through the promotion of research, innovation, and knowledge generation; and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals by facilitating academic collaboration, knowledge sharing, and engagement with the international research community.
