In preparation for the World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI) 2024, the International Affairs and Linkages (IAL) Office organized a two-day lock-in writeshop to sustain ASC’s global standing and ensure timely submission of entries for the WURI 2024 Rankings, that opened on November 31 and closes on December 31, 2024.
