RApid-SMart Idea (RASMI) is a groundbreaking program launched by the Vice Rectorate for Research at Antonine University (UA), designed to promote and support impactful scientific research that addresses pressing community needs. |
Program Goals
Believing that research is a powerful tool for tackling societal, economic, cultural, health, and environmental challenges, RASMI’s primary goal is to encourage UA researchers and instructors to dedicate their expertise to short-term projects that create meaningful change within our communities. |
Dynamic Research Approach
RASMI is founded on the principle that all research — whether emerging from a preliminary idea or exploring new concepts — plays a vital role in sustaining a vibrant research ecosystem. This dynamic approach allows us to respond proactively to society’s evolving needs, especially during crises when new research opportunities frequently arise.

Engaging Students
To cultivate a strong research culture at UA, RASMI aligns with international academic standards by encouraging UA researchers to involve students in their projects. This collaboration not only enriches the research experience but also helps students become deeply rooted in the University’s priority research areas, preparing them for future challenges.

Selection Process
The Scientific Research Council conducts the final selection of funded projects, following an external evaluation process. Projects are ranked based on their scores, ensuring that the most promising ideas receive the support they need. This innovative initiative enables researchers and instructors to transform their ideas into concrete projects, with results published in reputable, indexed journals. |
