Research Centres and Research Groups at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus

The University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC) has recently completed an exercise to establish Research Centres and Research Groups. This has been done for a variety of reasons, inclusing:

1. To more actively promote our research both internally and externally
2. To have a “go to” person for a given research area
3. To enable us to be more strategic about where we direct our internal funding
4. To enable better provision of cross faculty and cross disciplinary research
5. To provide a structure that fits with the University’s Global Research Themes and Research Priority Areas
6. To provide better structures to support grant applications to initiatives such as Newton, EU, as well as national funding agencies

It should be noted that we expect this list of centres and groups to be refreshed on a regular basis.

Our Research Support Office is now working with these centres and groups to get them featured on our web pages.

Please feel free to contact the centre/group director should you want more information about a given research area. We will post links to each centre/group as soon as they are available.
