Cross-disciplinary R&D Colloquium 2018

Aimed at enhancing students and staff research experiences, UTAR Institute of Postgraduate Studies and Research (IPSR) is enduring the practice of organising two colloquiums per year. Held since May 2014, the Organising Committee once again successfully organised its ninth R&D Colloquium 2018 (1.0) at Kampar Campus on 21 April 2018.

The objective of the colloquium was to offer a platform to exchange research ideas, interests and project funding related to the cross-disciplinary topic areas. Presenters were encouraged to present early-stage research plan in order to receive some valuable feedback and suggestions. It also aimed to develop cross-disciplinary collaborations at a concrete level through finding synergies and common interests.

Some 120 local and foreign researchers joined and came together during the university’s biannual colloquium on research and development. The UTAR R&D Colloquium (1.0) 2018 brought research participants together to present and share their research efforts in multiple fields of studies.
