  1. Optimizing AIT’s ResearchManifestoby Ulrich Glawe, PhD.

  2. Status Quo We need to respond to changed conditions One of the most prestigious educational institutions in Asia Integration of different disciplines in science and technology is ongoing Research potential, capacities and facilities available Ideal place to expand inter- and multidisciplinary research, ideal location Increase of quality, quantity and visibility of AIT’s research necessary

  3. Principles of Optimization No structural and personnel Changes required But Values such as Motivation, Cooperation, Openness and Transparency Activate and use ALL resources to their FULL potential Introduce well-planned marketing and outreach Minimize required operational investment

  4. Principal Tools Support of effectiveness and efficiency of activities ACHIEVEMENT-ORIENTED APPROACH Promotes activities and leads to Motivation Mobilizes available resources FAIR EVALUATION Confirms up-grading Suggests possible improvement

  5. Research Priorities Identification of further priorities necessary Target an generally accepted goal Analyze governmental and institutional directives and guidelines Involve in the identification process resources including the base Some research priorities already visible

  6. Research Priorities (Cont.) Excellent Atmosphere for Research Use AIT’s strength being multi - disciplinarily (Rotating) Unit-Partnerships are beneficial in the process Improvement of cooperation Fostering of openness and transparency Support of QC

  7. Research Capacities Research Capacity Potential and Priority Profile 2005 Determine research profile Involve individuals, units and Unit – Partnerships Centralize data Identify potential in research for different levels

  8. AIT’s Research Directive Capacity at Hand and Demand Capacity at Hand No Demand Capacity Lack and Demand Capacity Lack No Demand

  9. Research Projects - General Support and Guidance of Faculty on Proposal Production necessary Short-term smaller projects integrated in longer-term frameworks Funding supports indirectly the financial situation Knowledge of ALL potential sponsor agencies necessary Contribution to sponsor identification on faculty/unit level

  10. Research Projects Proposals Proposals have high Standard and better Change for Funding Proposal Evaluation Committee (PEC); Dean responsible, and 3 faculty from 3 schools Compliance with AIT research directive Academic relevance Cost (effort) / benefit analysis Provisions made? (overhead, research infrastructure and research facilities)

  11. Proposals; Effectiveness of Acquisition Assessment of Effectiveness of Acquisition in the Institute • Number of proposals • Accumulated proposed project costs • Received project funding per Faculty, Unit and School

  12. Project Funding – Regional, (Source 1) Adequate Cooperation with Industry, and Funding from Industry • AIT - INDUSTRY RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS with the “Productive” Industry • Framework for several research focus areas • Enhances commercialization of AIT’s research • Transfer of knowledge and intellectual property • Involvement of AIT alumni extremely helpful

  13. Project Funding – Regional, (Source 2) Increase in Research Quality • AIT - INDUSTRY RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS with the “Consulting” Industry • Need of local expertise, reliable research results, international quality • From an institute with excellent reputation (= AIT) • Challenge to produce top class research • Brings faculty to the cutting –edge research

  14. Project Funding – Regional, (Source 3) Funding from regional Governments is possible, extremely fruitful and effective REGIONAL GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES • AIT – RTG Joint Research Project • Absolute successful • Perfect “Demonstration Project” for excellent cooperation, fruitfulness and effectiveness in research

  15. SE–Asian –Research Cooperation & Hub RE SEARCH Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Local Univ. Possibilities for external International Funding Example

  16. Project Funding – International Large Potential, Chances good with AIT – University Partnerships • Use existing contacts and extend them • Raise contacts to institute level • AIT – University Partnerships • Alumni Association extremely supportive NATIONAL RESEARCH FUNDING AGENCIES GOVERNMENTS (Ministries) • Ministries of Education, Development, Cooperation, Environment etc. • AIT – University Partnerships

  17. Project Funding – International Large Potential, regional and international Funding possible Exploration into “new” Regions • Example: Middle East • High quality national universities • Shared research and development work • AIT - University Partnerships • Potential for research funding from this region, but also from outside

  18. AIT’s Research Directive Capacity at Hand and Demand Capacity at Hand No Demand Capacity Lack and Demand Capacity Lack No Demand Thank You !
