Welcome to the 9th ICOWOBAS 2023.
About ICOWOBAS:
The first ICOWOBAS was held 14 years ago, in August 2007 In Surabaya to enhance a new collaboration between Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR), Indonesia and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Malaysia. A year later, the second ICOWOBAS was held in Johor Bahru, Malaysia on 3-4 June 2009 jointly with the Regional Annual Fundamental Science Seminar (RAFSS 2009). In 2017, the conference was held at Salahaddin University (Kurdistan, Iraq) to enrich the collaboration between UTM, UNAIR and Salahaddin University. In 2019, this event was held again in Johor Bahru, Malaysia at UTM. This event becomes a biannual event held by one of those universities. For the first time Tishk International University participated in the 8th ICOWOBAS 2021 conference.
And finally, this year, we are proud to announce that we, Tishk International University, will be the host of 9th ICOWOBAS-2023 and we look forward to meeting everyone in Erbil, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. The 9th ICOWOBAS-2023 will signify the collaboration between Tishk International University(Iraq), Salahaddin University Erbil (Iraq), Universitas Teknologi Malaysia (Malaysia), Universitas Airlangga (Indonesia).
The 9th ICOWOBAS-2023 is dedicated to offering a unique opportunity and atmosphere for researchers in Kurdistan Region-Iraq to gather, share innovative ideas, discuss novel problems, and collaborate in possible fields academically with international participants as well as themselves.
