About The Event
The 3rd International Conference on Innovation and Transformation for Development (ITD-2024) is an international initiative of Green University of Bangladesh (GUB) to expedite the spirit of innovation and transformation for development through promoting intellectual discourse and dialogues among academics, scholars, professionals and industry leaders around the globe in the fields of Arts and Social Sciences to be held on 9 and 10 November, 2024 onsite in our Permanent Campus at Purbachal American City, Kanchan, Rupganj, Narayanganj-1461, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The conference will also use a dedicated Virtual Platform (ZOOM) for some international presenters who will not be able to join in person.
The ITD conference was initiated first in 2021, at a time when the world had been shaken by the COVID-19 pandemic and was facing unforeseen challenges in coping with education and intellectual activities. We were extremely delighted by enthusiastic response and huge participation by academics, research scholars, industry leaders from home and abroad. Inspired by the grand success of the first conference, we organized our second ITD conference both onsite and online in 2022 which also proved a grand success. We are organizing the 3rd ITD 2024 on 9 and 10 November 2024. The theme for ITD 2024 is: The World at a Crossroads: Issues in Arts and Social Sciences.
We are inviting original and innovative papers from academics and scholars in the fields of Arts and Social Sciences. All submissions will be blind peer-reviewed and thereafter presented quality papers will be published in the peer-reviewed journal Green University Review of Social Sciences(GURSS).
