Institutional Research Agenda
WIT aims to advance the research capabilities of its students, faculty and staff through the provision of motivation, training, policies and environment for research proposal and execution. WIT aims to prioritize opportunities to those with limited research experience with preference to proposals that require multidisciplinary collaboration with researchers from various programs of WIT or other institutions.
WIT supports the proposal of researches that are feasible to execute within the capacity of its resources, and with outputs that can positively influence the policies, practices, or services of the institution in the upkeep of its continuous quality improvement.
