The current projects of KRIC are initiatives in particular disciplines/ areas and are of multidisciplinary and holistic nature. The Centre brings together diversity of experts from a range of fields to form multi-disciplinary, multi-country team to work together. Presently, the Center has following novel projects in progress:
To advance the field of psychology through scholarly research anchored to Islam our multidisciplinary team is using trans-disciplinary approach in developing definitions and conceptual framework of Psychology in Islam, with an aim to establish this emerging discipline to masters and doctoral accredited degree levels.

The concept of leadership can be viewed thorough multi focus lenses projecting numerous perspectives. Whereas, this project observes leadership through the teachings of Quran and leadership qualities of our beloved Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAWW) and his Sahaba (R.A) to define the key attributes of leadership and to propose a conceptual framework for an effective leader/ leadership.
The organizational study has long been probed in its diversity and complexity through various concepts but mostly in partiality. The studies usually are limited to fractional examination of dimensions; though added plentiful to fractional knowledge. However, they could not offer entirety of the conception that is worthy to be generalized across organizations, dimensions, and levels. The purpose of this project is to understand and develop framework, constructs and elements of mindfulness in the psychological & organizational context, individually as well as collectively to generalize across organizations, dimensions and levels, to reshape existing concepts for the future global integration.
Human Mind: Theory & Model (Psychology/ AI)
Today’s fast-growing IT world has brought revolutions, starting from availability of vast information, tremendous access speed, mobility and interconnectivity. We are now sticking to spider web of networks governed by artificial intelligence (AI) that has achieved extreme levels of computational power, yet the desire of technology to evolve machines capable of self-learning, judging and deciding like human being is still not possible. Attaining such a level calls for deep understanding of the human mind and its functioning, however, till date no concise theory or model of mind is available that can be tested for improvement and integrated into future AI. This project aims to develop a complete framework of human mind that can be of educational and clinical value to psychology, and can as well be realized in future AI projects of technology.
Reshaping Technology Paradigm for the Future (Technology Design & Architecture)
There is a paradigm shift in the ICT Industry to be more creativity and innovation driven. The increased competition of digital technology calls for cheaper, faster and more intelligent services. This needs major changes in hardware and software designs, construction and functioning. This project aims to reshape this paradigm for technology of the future by changing the founding framework as well as hardware/ software design.
Reshaping Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the Future
No doubt the bots, algorithms and present AI are reshaping the future to a level that is quite impressive; however, it is still far away from achieving level of true excellence that can mimic somewhat close to a human being. If AI does not achieve that level of excellence it will soon become a thing of the past. This project focuses on transforming the present concepts to evolve a new framework for AI based humanoid architecture design and operating system that enables achievement of desired level of excellence.
