As part of the Communities of Success initiative, the International Conference on Communities of Success (ICCOS) provides a platform for global Muslim minority communities to engage on and enrich positive narratives and characteristics of successful communities embodying good Character, Competency and Citizenry. It seeks to contribute to the shaping of progressive religious leadership and development of new and contextualised bodies of knowledge to guide Muslims in responding effectively to complex socio-religious issues and challenges, and highlights the need for collaboration among religious scholars, state officials and community leaders to develop successful communities.
