Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia: Renowned for research

UKM Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Mohd Hamdi Abdul Shukor believes engagement with stakeholders is crucial in producing impactful research.

Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) prides itself on impactful and beneficial research. The varsity has produced many outstanding alumni who have contributed to important research in many fields over the past three decades. Research should never be confined to the walls of academia, said UKM Vice-Chancellor Prof Datuk Ir Dr Mohd Hamdi Abd Shukor.

“Research findings should be relevant to the nation and society so that it can benefit and provide direct impact to the community and industry,” Prof Hamdi noted. “In as much as we can, we hope to tie up UKM research with our partners be it industry, NGO or other government agencies. We also want our researchers to venture into international research collaborations”
