In this way, doctoral students can integrate the most appropriate methodologies to answer their research questions more effectively. In recent years, Islamic economic research has experienced rapid development, especially along with the growth of the sharia financial industry, zakat, waqf, and the halal economic sector.

It is hoped that this Research Camp can overcome these challenges by providing practical guidance in managing data, both qualitative and quantitative, so as to produce quality research and contribute significantly to the development of Islamic economics in Indonesia and the world.
This activity does not only focus on theory, but also invites participants to be directly involved in case studies, so that they can apply the knowledge gained in real contexts. This is very important for doctoral students who are completing their dissertation or who want to learn more about applicable research methodologies in the field of Islamic economics. This Research Camp is open to all Islamic Economics doctoral students and is expected to be a forum for them to improve their research skills, deepen their understanding of methodology, and produce research that is better and relevant to the needs of the times.
