This component encourages increased participation of instructors in research projects through systematic support mechanisms and professional development programs to enhance research competencies and capabilities. Research ethics and integrity form the foundation of all research activities at UA, where research is inherently interdisciplinary and contextualized. Our vision is driven by the ambition to cultivate a culture that hosts research incubators to support new initiatives. Looking ahead, knowledge transfer initiatives ensure that research findings influence teaching practices and contribute to economic and social innovation.
