————————————————————————

The 4th International Conference on International Law and Legal Policy (ICILLP 2025) was a hybrid conference which includes several symposium series (offline and online) around the world. Dr. Renuka Thakore from University of Central Lancashire, Dr. Mohammad Saki from University of West London, Tonejit Gad-Harry from The University of Bristol Business School, and Dr. Abdullah Laghari from Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science and Technology, Nawabshah have chaired these symposium series on related topics. ICILLP 2025 provided the participants with good opportunities to exchange ideas and build networks, and it will lead to further collaborations between both universities and other societies.

Symposium:

University of West London, UK

Symposium Chair: Dr. Renuka Thakore, Lecturer in University of Central Lancashire, Dr. Mohammad Saki, Senior Lecturer in University of West London

The symposium “Property Law and Blockchain Applications in International Law and Legal Policy” explored the intersection of Property Law and Blockchain Applications, focusing on how emerging technologies are reshaping asset ownership, governance, and legal frameworks. Participants engaged in discussions on smart contracts, tokenization of assets, decentralized property registries, and the implications of blockchain for land governance and real estate transactions. The symposium also covered regulatory challenges, compliance issues, dispute resolution mechanisms, and the role of blockchain in ensuring transparency and fraud prevention in property transactions.

The symposium on Digital Governance: Inter-Firm Coopetition and Legal Frameworks for Sustainability explored the challenges of digital governance and the development of strategic approaches toward governance objectives. Through brainstorming activities, participants examined the dynamic interplay, synergies, and tensions that shape digital governance frameworks.

The first presentation discussed the role of the state in shaping local platform economies, showing how governments compete with international firms such as Uber and regulate platform workers through competition. The second presentation examined “buy now, pay later” strategies, noting how they normalize credit use among young adults while creating risks for vulnerable groups, highlighting the need for clearer regulations. The third presentation analyzed how digital technologies reshape organizations, employment, and governance, drawing on Orlikowski’s structuration model. Cases such as Amazon’s algorithmic management and Uber v. Aslam illustrated how algorithms act as managers, raising accountability and legal challenges. Despite reforms like the EU AI Act, GDPR, and Spain’s Rider Law, wide regulatory gaps remain.

The symposium concluded with three consensus points: digital governance challenges vary across contexts; employment relationships between platforms and workers must be clearly defined; and greater attention should be given to the security and safety of both users and platform workers.

Symposium Chair: Dr. Abdullah Laghari, Lecture of Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science and Technology, Nawabshah.

The Department of English at Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science and Technology, Nawabshah, organized an academic symposium entitled "Psychological Perspectives on Teacher-Student Relationships in Educational Contexts." The session was facilitated by Dr. Abdullah Laghari, who introduced the theoretical framework and core concepts underpinning the symposium's focus and importance in the modern century.

Dr. Laghari delivered a comprehensive presentation examining the dynamics of pedagogical relationships, with particular emphasis on their crucial role in fostering student motivation and enhancing learning outcomes. His analysis highlighted the importance of understanding interpersonal dynamics within educational settings to optimize the teaching-learning process in different levels in educational contexts.

The symposium featured active participation from seven undergraduate students from the English Department, who engaged in structured discourse emphasizing on the need of enhancing friendly engagement between teacher and students by understanding this notion. These participants presented analytical perspectives on the application of psychological principles in educational practice, demonstrating how such frameworks can be operationalized to improve teacher-student interactions and create more effective learning environments.

The session provided valuable insights into the intersection of educational psychology and classroom practice, contributing to the professional development of both faculty and students in understanding relationship-based learning approaches.
