Urmia University students’ success at the 6th Digitalised International Invention, Innovation & Design Competition (DIIID) Johor 2024
Six teams of Urmia University students and professors participated in the 6th DIGITALISED INTERNATIONAL INVENTION, INNOVATION & DESIGN COMPETITION 2024, held in conjunction with Universiti Teknologi MARA Johor and Universitas Lampung.
The organisation of innovation competitions began in 2012, involving all faculties and branch campuses to foster participation in innovation competitions at the university level. In previous years, innovation competitions were organised at the UiTM Cawangan Johor level in compliance with the needs of RIBU. However, the year 2014 witnessed a change when the Innovation Unit, BPJI&A UiTM Cawangan Johor, began organising the Johor innovation competition, International Invention, Innovation & Design (IIID), at the international level located at Dewan Sri Temenggong (DST), UiTM Cawangan Johor. In 2015, IIID UiTM Cawangan Johor was jointly organised with UiTM Cawangan Johor Kampus Pasir Gudang and was held in Johor Bahru. The 6th DIIID 2024 with a hybrid approach (digitalized and face-to-face) was held in collaboration with Urmia University as one of the international collaborators of the competition.
This year six teams of Urmia University students and professors participated in this international competition with the support and facilitation of the International Office of Urmia University and succeeded in winning the top ranks among the hundreds of designs and inventions that participated in this competition.
