Graduate Forum

The International Research Conference on Humanities and Social Sciences (IRCHSS) has consistently provided a platform for academics and researchers to disseminate scholarly work.

While postgraduate students have participated in previous conferences, there has been less dedicated space specifically designed to support their academic development.

In this context, the introduction of a Graduate Forum aims to strengthen student engagement and provide a structured platform for emerging scholars within IRCHSS 2027.
