In support of the objective of Oman Vision 2040 "Inclusive Education, Life-long Learning, and Scientific Research that led to a Knowledgeable Society and Competitive National Talents", NU has evolved strategies to offer and support research and innovation that contribute to the nation-building process.  The NU research strategy aims to support research themes which align with Oman Vision 2040 and other national strategies to enhance the role of R&D in addressing current and emerging challenges. 

One such strategy enabler will be the NU research Day.  NU Research Day is envisaged to be an annual event that provides faculty and students with an opportunity to showcase their research, integrative learning projects, or applied practice experiences. The event offers an opportunity for NU student and staff researchers to share their work with the community and will include contributions from the Colleges of Medicine, Pharmacy and Engineering. 

We believe that the research day would be an ideal platform to discover research opportunities and to showcase the research conducted by NU students and faculty highlighting creative solutions and fresh thinking used to confront the world’s most pressing challenges and regional and national priorities.  

The NU research day for the year 2022 features two-day events, scheduled on the 2 and 3 of October 2022 with the first day dedicated to scientific deliberations and oral presentation competitions for NU faculty and students. It is envisaged that these presentations will be online using a Cisco-Webex platform. Over 40 scientific presentations from both faculty and students researchers from the College of Engineering, College of Pharmacy, and College of Medicine and Health Sciences are invited to this event. The most outstanding presentations and best research work under faculty and student categories will be considered for awards and prizes.

While the 2^nd day of the event features keynotes addressed by the experts and erudite professionals and interaction with industries. The event also hosts the scientific exhibition of ongoing funded research projects through a poster session.  It is anticipated that this event will be held at the Conference Hall, at the NU HQ building located in Bousher. We are anticipating over 100 participants for this event.  The event is organized to encourage and foster research from various colleges and departments of NU to present their work to various stakeholders including industries and the community. More details are presented in the below table.
