RESEARCH CENTRE​​

The concept of tiers, accompanied by validity periods and incentives, was formally introduced to the Centre of Excellence (CoE) subsequent to its approval by the UTP Executive Management Committee on July 31st, 2019. Since its inception in 2019, eligible CoEs have been acknowledged in accordance with this framework, aimed at facilitating their growth and long-term sustainability.​

Under this framework, research centers are classified into tiers based on their performance in internal audits, with corresponding incentives allocated accordingly. This approach ensures that UTP Research Centers are duly recognized and incentivized based on their achievements and commitment to excellence.
