Since 2016, Universiti Malaya has conducted a community engagement conference managed by the UM Community Engagement Centre (UMCares). Started in 2019, UMCares took a challenge by promoting this conference internationally with a new branding; Universiti Malaya Academia – Community Engagement (UMACE) International Conference and in the 2021 was the first international webinar conference organised by the UMCares team. The aim of UMACE is to gather researchers, scientists, policymakers, government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and all the stakeholders that are involved directly or indirectly in community engagement projects.
