Bismillahhirrahmanirrahim

All praise and gratitude are due to Allah S.W.T., the Creator of the universe, who has made humanity interdependent in sustaining life.

The role of the Research & Innovation Management Center (PPPI) at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) is to strengthen research activities to produce distinguished scholars and high-quality, impactful research. It also aims to foster awareness and engagement among USIM academic staff in research fields recognized at national and international levels.

The PPPI consistently appreciates the commitment and efforts of every researcher at USIM in enhancing the productivity, quantity, and quality of research outcomes. PPPI strives to cultivate holistic excellence in all aspects and improve service delivery in research and innovation at USIM. Customer satisfaction with PPPI services has steadily increased, necessitating continuous improvements to ensure that we remain responsive, relevant, efficient, swift, and effective in meeting customer demands and expectations.

The existence of PPPI at USIM will foster strong collaborative networks with all faculties and responsibility centers to carry out research and innovation activities. I hope that this research and innovation culture can be adopted among all researchers at USIM in line with Naqli and Aqli knowledge, aligned with USIM’s philosophy of shaping an excellent generation and an enlightened society.

In conclusion, I urge everyone involved in research and innovation to prepare themselves with knowledge and strengthen their capabilities in facing current challenges, particularly in dealing with pandemics, technological advancements, socio-economic changes, and cultural dynamics.

Happy browsing on the PPPI website, and I hope the information provided helps disseminate your research.

Syukran Jazilan.
