From childhood, every individual possesses an inquisitive nature that makes them wonder about the world. This childlike curiosity seldom traverses into adulthood, but such quality may be seen as a critical ingredient in research. As such, anchored on this year’s theme “Fostering a Culture of Inquiry through Research and Innovations,” the 5th International Conference on Interdisciplinary Research Innovations (ICIRI) will delve into featuring and recognizing the best practices and novel attempts across different fields that promote the creativity and inquisitiveness of researchers from around the world. This year’s conference centers on advocating for cultivating a Culture of Inquiry amongst different disciplines, heeding the call towards crafting more innovative ways of responding to the rapidly changing world. With this, ICIRI 5.0 aspires to provide an avenue for researchers with trailblazing outlooks to share their innovative responses to both perennial and budding questions alike. Fostering a Culture of Inquiry through Research and Innovations, both in and out of the academe, commits itself to preserving the inquisitive nature and childlike curiosity of every individual, in hopes that such wonder may prove to be crucial in changing the world, one question at a time.
