Research Advisory Council

UTP's aspirations are multi-faceted:

To be a leader in Research & Development and Consultancy
To be recognised internationally as a partner of choice for industries
To be a respected member of scientific communities, and
To provide an innovative platform for the research fraternity

This continuous pursuit of excellence birthed the Research Advisory Council (RAC) in 2010, which meets annually to deliberate issues and matters in the areas of Research, Innovation and Commercialisation. Prominent and esteemed members of RAC are entrusted to provide guidance, strategic direction and recommendations to enhance UTP's competitiveness through technology and innovation.
