RESEARCH PROCEDURE

 

The Research Committee is responsible for approval and supervision of all research projects at IMPSC. Proposals for research, however, originate from three different sources:

• Projects proposed and carried out by our own academic staff in their chosen areas of interest. Such studies are usually funded from internal resources, resulting in reports and articles presented at national and international seminars and conferences, or published in professional journals, and occasionally, appearing as text-books.

• Applied research projects developed upon request for client organization on consultancy bases, for which funding will be provided through contracts with each particular client.

• Research carried out by masters’ and doctoral candidates under supervision of the academic staff , usually funded privately, or through scholarships from sponsoring organizations.
