Developing learning contents and innovative product development  shall  bring the extremely wide range of diverse learners to the heart of Concordia locations to enrol.  

Called “Project Think and Write”,  the  R&D is created  in response to the current market demand for providing education to highly skilled and available workforce, locally  and globally.

Objectives:

1.CIC R&D  is committed to providing relevant LEARNING CONTENTS to the curriculum for  high quality  education programs  attuned to  both the local and international communities.
