In February 2017, MTSF successfully conducted three promotional roadshows at the southern states of Peninsular Malaysia to further publicise its “Science & Technology Award” and “Science & Technology Research Grant” programs.
Started on 20th February 2017 at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor, MTSF delegation was welcomed by Associate Professor Ir. Dr. Herlina Bt Abdul Rahim, Deputy Director of Corporate Management. Some 60 young researchers and postgraduates attended the roadshow.
On 21st February, MTSF adjourned to Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian Institute of Chemical & BioEngineering Technology centre where 65 academicians and researchers from UniKL MICET and Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) took part. Dr. Zulhafiz Tajudin, Deputy Dean of Academic & Technology was present to officiate the event.
The final talk was held on 22nd February 2017 at Nilai University. It attracted some 60 participants from Nilai University and neighbouring universities, namely Manipal University, INTI International University and Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia. The function was officiated by Associate Professor Dr. Jason Lee Wai Chow, Director, Centre for Research Excellence
Thanks to the presence of Board Member & Deputy Chairman of the Selection Committee, Academician Professor Emeritus Dr. Yong Hoi Sen, the Q&A sessions were very lively and fruitful as many questions were satisfactorily answered.
MTSF hopes that more researchers from these universities have benefitted from the roadshow and look forward to more submission from these universities.
