The strategy for "Developing scientific research" aims to bolster the quality and impact of research activities. This includes strengthening researchers' skills by participating in workshops and engaging in collaborative projects. For example, attending a conference can offer insights into current trends, while participating in journal clubs facilitates the discussion of new research.
Another aspect of the strategy is increasing funding opportunities. This involves identifying potential funding sources, crafting competitive grant proposals, and networking with other researchers for joint applications. An example action is attending grant writing seminars to refine proposal skills, which is critical in securing research funding.
Lastly, enhancing research visibility is key, emphasizing publishing in high-impact journals and sharing findings through conferences and social media platforms. Researchers can also increase visibility by collaborating with media outlets to disseminate research, ensuring broader outreach and engagement.
