| Summary: | Higher Education sector is one of key contributors for a country’s advancement,
mandated to play strategic roles in training workforce, generate new knowledge and
nurture innovation. Higher learning institutions or universities are instrumental in solving
societal problems, and driving transformation in the society. Despite the available
resources for academics to conduct research, there exist various challenges that disrupt
the research culture in universities. This paper discusses issues confronting Malaysian
academics on research and development (R&D) activities, and recommends specific
interventions to improve R&D activities in Malaysian universities. The discussion is
expected to enlighten higher education authority of issues that require attention, and in
turn steer the direction of universities on R&D agenda. |
