History of CSI

The first CSI took place in Penang, Malaysia, in 2018. The 4th CSI in 2024 signified an ongoing international collaborative effort among affiliated institutions and marked the start of its second cycle.

Throughout the series, CSI has shown that diversity in research, pedagogy, and practice transcends borders and perceptions, uniting different views and professional experiences in a cohesive platform for innovation and knowledge exchange.
