PREAMBLE:
=> A Research Interest Group (RIG) has been established with the aim of facilitating the exchange of faculty expertise among faculty members and fostering collaborative interdisciplinary research endeavours.
=> RIG contributes to enhancing faculty skill development by offering targeted training and sponsoring opportunities for attending training programs at centrally funded research institutions and for online certifications.
KEY FEATURES OF RESEARCH INTEREST GROUPS:
# Knowledge Sharing: RIGs facilitate the exchange of knowledge and expertise among members through seminars, workshops, conferences, and publications.
# Research Meetings: Members typically meet regularly to discuss research findings, share insights, and plan collaborative projects.
# Collaboration: Members often engage in joint research projects, grant applications, and other collaborative activities related to their shared research interests.
KEY FEATURES OF RESEARCH INTEREST GROUPS:
# Networking: RIGs provide opportunities for networking and building professional relationships within the field.
# Research Advancement: These groups can help advance research in a particular area by pooling resources, sharing data, and promoting innovative ideas.
# Mentorship: Some RIGs may offer mentorship opportunities, especially for early-career researchers, to support their growth and development in the field.
