‘Training Course on Research Methodology’




 
I proceeded to the launching of the ‘Training Courses on Research Methodology, held at the seat of the Mauritius Research Council. The Mauritius Research Council has a national mandate to develop national research policies and encourage researchers. Research is meant to increase knowledge and development and is the application of knowledge to industry, management, economy, business and social development.  Good quality research requires additional skills to complement the academic training of researchers. These include good communication skills, use of specific statistical packages, flawless report writing skills, formulation of relevant market survey reports, ability to publish in high impact factor journals. We need some role models, some research champions from academia and the business world. I would like to request the Chairman and Board of the Mauritius Research Council to go further by keeping track of the trainees and assessing whether the training has been put into practice through publication of research.
