A meaningful day at ARI, UiTM!

Today, we were delighted to welcome Dr. Eftekhar Ahmed from Newcastle University (UK) to ARI for an inspiring knowledge-sharing and collaboration session.

From the moment he stepped in, the discussions flowed with ideas on sustainable finance, social responsibility, Islamic social finance, and global consortium opportunities. Dr. Eftekhar shared insightful experiences from the Newcastle City Council’s net-zero efforts, community empowerment programmes, and how innovation can drive social and environmental change.

Our conversation expanded into EU Horizon opportunities, ethical finance conferences, philanthropy ecosystems, and integrating indigenous knowledge into governance. These ideas sparked new confidence that ARI can lead high-impact international research clusters.

The session ended with a promising outlook on funding avenues such as the British Council, UK PACT, and various international grant schemes.

We thank Dr. Eftekhar for the enriching exchange, and we look forward to building strong research collaborations for global impact.
