Abstract:
The senate research committee of the University of Moratuwa encourages
research activities within the University. Research projects are carried out by
different levels of personnel belonging to different faculties and departments.
The amounts extended by the university as research support are categorized into
two groups and some research projects span over a few years. The senate
research committee administrative support is through the academic and
publication division which communicates the approvals etc., to those who
conduct research.
The funds approved by the university is disbursed by the finance division. There
are record files maintained at both these divisions. It is important to coordinate
activities of both divisions to identify fund disbursement, research progress, fund
reallocations and utilization of annual financial allocations. Also a study of the
research projects carried out with University of Moratuwa support would enable
the senate research committee to identify any future needs.
Therefore it is timely to identify the state of research work carried out with the
financial University.
