=> A Research Interest Group (RIG) has been established with the aim of facilitating the exchange of faculty expertise among faculty members and fostering collaborative interdisciplinary research endeavours.
=> RIG contributes to enhancing faculty skill development by offering targeted training and sponsoring opportunities for attending training programs at centrally funded research institutions and for online certifications.
# Knowledge Sharing: RIGs facilitate the exchange of knowledge and expertise among members through seminars, workshops, conferences, and publications.
# Research Meetings: Members typically meet regularly to discuss research findings, share insights, and plan collaborative projects.
# Collaboration: Members often engage in joint research projects, grant applications, and other collaborative activities related to their shared research interests.
# Networking: RIGs provide opportunities for networking and building professional relationships within the field.
# Research Advancement: These groups can help advance research in a particular area by pooling resources, sharing data, and promoting innovative ideas.
# Mentorship: Some RIGs may offer mentorship opportunities, especially for early-career researchers, to support their growth and development in the field.
