Cultivating a Culture of Curiosity in STEM
Cosmos of Curiosity (CoC) was created to reignite curiosity and inspire a new generation to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). As global interest in STEM continues to decline, universities play a crucial role in reconnecting learners with the excitement, creativity, and human stories behind discovery.
CoC builds on the strong legacy of the International STEM & Innovation Virtual Colloquia Series (ISICS), which ran from September 2021 to 2025 as a global open-access platform featuring world-renowned scientists and innovators. ISICS was founded on a simple belief: knowledge is not for trading—it is for everyone.
Rebranded in 2026, Cosmos of Curiosity is now hosted under the Faculty of Intelligent Computing (FKC), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP). CoC continues to bridge students and the public with leading scientific minds worldwide, nurturing curiosity, lifelong learning, and confidence to explore the frontiers of science and innovation.
