I have attended IAFOR conferences since 2011 and my regularity of attendance is proof that I like being in the IAFOR community, particularly for its openness, the main principle implemented by the late Professor Stuart Picken. From the very beginning of my attendance I have come to know the pioneers and senior members of IAFOR who have open minds and allow numerous opportunities for scholars to share their knowledge and experiences with the aim of improving society and individual well-being. IAFOR has developed its activities from limited to more various areas of interest, and provides participants with more opportunities to expand social networking within various disciplines. Currently IAFOR also offers scholarships for those who have interests in conducting research and participating in education.
