This colloquium represents a collaborative effort aimed at fostering constructive and innovative exchanges of ideas among academics, researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners. With this year's theme, "Social Transformation Through Research and Innovation," the colloquium serves as a platform to explore new approaches to addressing increasingly complex social challenges.

ISM believes that through in-depth discussions and close collaboration, effective solutions can be developed for the social issues facing our society. It is hoped that every discussion session, paper presentation, and workshop conducted during this programme will provide substantial benefits to all participants and contribute to sustainable social development in our nation.
