Higher education initiatives: from forums to research and development
Dr.. Ali Mohamed Osman Al-Iraqi
The past weeks have seen a number of initiatives of higher education in the form of forums and lectures dealing with the issues of the current economic, and this is a way to maximize the benefit of scientists and experts in universities in providing solutions to the Sudanese problem and push to promote the stream of awareness and enlightenment
The spread of universities and the diversity of disciplines provides an opportunity for them to be employed in the process of development and advancement, and as forums and lectures begin, it must be continued and expanded to achieve a national research and development policy. Research and development (R & D) is one of the most widely used terms in the scientific community. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defined R & D as "a creative work on a systematic basis to increase the stock of knowledge, including human knowledge, culture and society And use this knowledge repository to create new applications. "R & D also means all efforts involved in converting certified knowledge into technical solutions, in the form of methods, methods of production, and physical, consumer or investment products. These activities take place either in university laboratories, Search the application , Or in industrial enterprises without special consideration for their size
In addition to the scientific and technical importance of research and development activities, it reflects the desire of the state or institution to relinquish part of its current revenues and profits in order to improve its efficiency and future revenues by employing a portion of current revenues in research activities that are expected to bear fruit in the future. However, many research may not have the desired results, which poses many challenges to research financiers. In the United States, for example, out of every 10 potential drugs that go beyond basic research, only one drug succeeds in overcoming all stages of development and succeeds in reaching the market. It is therefore common in the United States to focus universities on basic drug research and experience while Companies are devoting their efforts to developing potential pharmaceuticals that produce university research results
R & D needs a binding national policy and a sincere will that sets priorities, allocates resources, establishes networks, and above all, drives the private sector to adopt research and development. This takes many forms, such as reduction of government fees, taxes and others. Geyad Engineering Research at another university or other.
This approach provides real renewable resources for universities, resources that grow through patent applications, modern applications and creative economic paths. These resources provide universities with opportunities to develop, expand and reflect seriously on the transformation of regional centers that receive undergraduate and graduate students with programs that put the country on the map of educational tourism
In conclusion, I reiterate my praise for the initiatives of higher education and call for their development to serve the country and universities and contribute to shaping a bright future for future generations.
