02

Delegate crossover

IAC10 delegates receive a priority pathway into the Oxford main hall and the Golden Constellation.

03

Joint publication route

Pertanika Journal and the NeuroCampur Publishing Lab open a two-way research corridor.

04

Malaysia-to-Oxford relay

Melaka 2026 sets the national evidence; Oxford 2027 takes it to the diaspora and the world.
