We believe that all members and friends of the Institute, including all past, present and potential future participants in our conferences, have already noticed that for almost one year now, we have been partnering successfully with the International Academy for Advancement of Business Research™ (IAABR™). Also, we have been watching with a growing alarm the crimes against humanity committed by an organization acting in a part of the Middle East,  and which has been known under the names ISIL, IS, and ISIS. As socially responsible members of society, we ardently condemn these heinous crimes, and we feel that consistent with our personal values and the guiding principles of the Academic Organization for Advancement of Strategic and International Studies®, we must change our acronym to AcademicOASISWorld®. Therefore, from now on, you can see this acronym, along with its shortened version, or AcademicOASIS® also legally acquired by our organization, in all official announcements made by the Academic Organization for Advancement of Strategic and International Studies®.
