Overview of ORIC
In the modern era of technology, research and development (R&D) have joined hands with commercialization to become the driving force behind modern economies. This put immense responsibilities on the universities to develop a culture that emphasizes the need of research, development and commercialization. At KFUEIT we understand that the evolution of institution is directly proportional to the emergence of new technologies and that the inculcation of the knowledge of contemporary technologies requires liaison with industry. This vision leads to the establishment of the Office of Research, Innovation & Commercialization (ORIC) at KFUEIT in 2016, on the directions of Higher Education Commission (HEC). ORIC is operating on the mandate of generating new ideas to enrich the knowledge base that supports the academic agenda of Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering & Information Technology – KFUEIT and its members (students, faculty & staff) for achieving sustainable and equitable development in the academic arena. To maximize the impact of research, ORIC carries out a set of activities that serve as inputs to the university departments, the academic community.
Mission
Achieve ORIC vision by motivating, facilitating and guiding faculty members to comply with their individual and organizational R&D goals.
