Welcome to IDEAS: Research Group of Scholars (IRGS)
IDEAS: Research Group of Scholars (IRGS) is a global platform for researchers, academicians, scholars, and emerging intellectuals — connected under the Umbrella of IDEAS (An International Journal of Literature, Arts, Science and Culture), published by Institute of Advanced Studies, Dhaka. Our aim is to bridge local and global scholarly discourses, facilitate research collaboration, and offer a supportive community for scholars worldwide.
Members of IRGS may join from home or abroad. Scholars who have already published in previous volumes (Vol. 1–10) are automatically “free members.” Others can join by registering through a minimal registration fee.
IRGS works closely with other concerns of IDEAS — particularly the Ideas’ Bridging Cultures Foundation (IBCF) — to contribute meaningfully to global research, education, and cultural exchange.
