University Funding
In line with our commitments established during the initial meetings of the Research Council, we are
allocating 5% of our revenue to support the university’s research activities. Various research
promotion
schemes are in place, including the Capacity Building Seed Fund and the GEAR (Grants to Enable and Advance
Research) schemes.
- Capacity Building Seed Fund: This fund serves as seed money for individual
faculty members, empowering them to explore new research areas and expand their initiatives
in alignment with the strategic focus of their respective Schools or Departments.
- GEAR (Grants to Enable and Advance Research) Schemes: Aimed at generating
high-quality research, GEAR provides funding to groups of faculty members for external
recognition and sustainable success. Key categories under the GEAR scheme include:
- Science and Technology Advanced Research (STAR) Labs
- Product Design and Development Grant (PDDG)
- Other Schemes: Additional funding opportunities are available for
organizing and attending conferences, faculty development programs (FDPs), incentives for
quality research, and fees related to patent applications and other relevant activities.
