CEMACS USM to Enhance Research & Technology Transfer with Various Agencies
PENANG, September 2015 – Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) plans to establish partnerships with various research centres and world-renowned academicians to further strengthen the field of biodiversity studies through research collaborations and technology transfer.
The Director of the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies (CEMACS) USM, Associate Professor Dr. Shahrul Anuar Mohd Sah, who is also the Chairperson for the ‘4th International Workshop on Tropical Biodiversity and Conservation 2015’ said, the Centre aims to increase such collaborations through workshops such as this which is part of a five-year project, as a result of a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) signed three years ago.
USM became the fourth venue of this workshop, following those already held in Manaus (Brazil), Bangalore (India) and Arusha (Tanzania).
According to Shahrul Anuar, this workshop provided the best avenue for the academicians and the lecturers to share research outcomes and boost smart collaborations in identifying future potential researches to be highlighted for global benefits.
“Having such collaborations and discoveries would open the doors to more meaningful international networking relations, benefitting not only the academicians but also the postgraduate students,” he added.
