INTRODUCTION: UMRC 2015
As a premier university in the country, the
University of Malaya has demonstrated its
excellent research competence over the years.
The research outputs of the university continue
to benefit the nation and have explicitly
enriched the society. Knowledge is of no use
unless shared. It is with this in mind that
University of Malaya will be organizing the
University of Malaya Research Carnival
2015 (UMRC 2015) under the
leadership of
the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research &
Innovation).
University of Malaya has established a strong
record of excellence in fundamental research
over the years. This has enabled University of
Malaya to move up the research value chain from pure research to applied and translational
research. This ‘Research Spiral’ path involves
the complex evolving relationships between
three interactive elements: implementation of
research action plans (outputs and on-going
research), updating of knowledge (sharing and
re-evaluation of research progress) and the
creation of networks (opportunities for
engaging
in
sustainable
knowledge
exchange).
UMRC 2015 aims to provide researchers,
community and industry with a platform for
networking and linkages. Since many of the
solutions to the current global problems
require an integrated approach, UMRC 2015
seeks to stimulate multidisciplinary interactions
among researchers and stakeholders. A myriad
of activities are planned which include
presentation of research outputs, forums on
University-Government-industry Partnership,
sharing of good practices of the excellent
researchers and other exciting activities. UMRC
2015 promises excitement and fun of research
which will provide lively interactions between
the researchers and the public. We cordially
invite all of you to join the UMRC 2015 to
network and learn from the best.
OBJECTIVES OF UMRC 2015
 To showcase University of Malaya Research
output and activities
 To provide a platform for networking and
linkages for researchers, community and the
industry
 To stimulate multidisciplinary interactions
among researchers
