Center for Integrated Knowledge Invention (CIKI) was founded in 2016 by Dr A. M. M. Maruf Hossain, who specializes in ‘the intellectual treatment of sustainability’. [Intellectual Portfolio] [LinkedIn] [Email]

His doctoral work at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia, produced a fundamental intellectual process for the study of multifaceted bodies of knowledge/research in relation to sustainability.

This intellectual process is underpinned by a new mode of intellectual inquiry—one that enquires about the production of sound knowledge regarding things/realities in their totalities—while the production of such knowledge is essential to the provision of an effective intellectual treatment of sustainability.

While the research monograph titled ‘The Intellectual Structure of Sustainability’* advances this new line of intellectual inquiry through the formation of a theory that unearths the foundation of a new avenue of knowledge, termed as the scholarship of sustainability; CIKI was founded with its primary aim to contribute to the advancement of this new avenue of knowledge for the provision of effective approaches toward solving the problems of unsustainability.
