The
University of Mauritius intends to put a high priority on research.
One of Research Week’s mandates is sharing and disseminating
research results. Research Week gives faculty and students a chance
to share some of their latest work with the university community
and to provide new researching ideas to the world. The event,
sponsored by the Pro Vice-Chancellor’s Office for Research,
Consultancy and Innovation, is open to all faculty, students,
post-doctoral fellows, residents, technologists and affiliated
researchers. The event is also open to the public.
This
year’s theme for Research Week
profiles and celebrates a variety of innovative programs, research
initiatives and projects that address Research & Innovation
Challenges.
UoM Research Week is open to any research or
creative project.
The purpose of this symposium is to:
-
bring the campus under one research umbrella;
-
promote and encourage excellence in University research;
-
provide a venue for students and faculty to share their
work with the campus community;
-
provide opportunity for university academics to link to
the business world;
-
provide opportunity for undergrads to prepare and present
their work presentations, to learn about and become involved
in university research efforts;
-
provide opportunities for researchers in all disciplines
to present their work at the same forum and innovate ideas
in interdisciplinary fields;
-
give a flavour of the different range of research technologies
and resources available;
-
provide opportunity for prospective students to consider
UOM for their higher education;
-
promote teamwork;
-
provide opportunity to identify funding sources for specific
awards;
-
provide opportunity to undergraduate and postgraduate students
to consider their career prospects;
There
will be two categories of presentations: oral presentations
and poster sessions.
We
are now accepting applications from all disciplines for poster
sessions and paper readings on research, scholarly, creative and
entrepreneurial activities. Faculty, students, and affiliated
researchers are invited to participate in this prestigious university-wide
research event! As the emphasis of the Research Week is to build
links between service providers and researchers, we encourage
all interested community groups also to participate.

with time for questions. All submissions should include the following:
