Business News from Sri Lanka: The 2019 SLAYS Conference “Research for Impact” organized by the Sri Lankan Academy of Young Scientists (SLAYS) will take place in Colombo in October. Professional global and national researchers will share their experiences with local young researchers in this forum.
The conference’s target audience is early / mid-career researchers from learners of academia and business as well as postgraduate research. This will be a excellent chance for researchers from Sri Lanka to work together with global specialists and network with each other.
