Razak Faculty of Technology and Informatics (FTIR) successfully organized the Razak Research Week 2022 (RRW 2022) from 3rd to 16th November 2022 at the Business and Advanced Technology Centre (BATC) building, UTM Kuala Lumpur Campus. RRW 2022 is an annual event for FTIR which has been organized since 2018.
The primary objective of RRW 2022 is to cultivate and establish an impactful research culture as well as to prepare students and researchers for a global research endeavor. RRW 2022 aimed to ensure the success and sustainability of the university as one of the Research Universities in Malaysia.
This program allows FTIR researchers from four different departments, namely Engineering and Technology, Advanced Informatics, Management Science and Design, and Perdana Policy Studies, to work together in synergy. The combination of these four departments has created an inter- and trans-disciplinary research opportunity among FTIR researchers. The theme for this year’s RRW is ‘Transdisciplinary Research and Innovation Towards Organizational and Societal Transformation’.
There were seven (7) programmes conducted during this two-week event namely Research Poster Competition, Project Poster Competition, Research & Innovation Showcase, Industry Showcase, Razak Annual Technology & Informatics Seminar (RATIPS), FTIR Research Champions Talks, and Research Workshops.
