The Research
and Services Center (RSC) was established in 2000 as a working unit under
the supervision of SWU. The objectives of the RSC are to act as a
coordinator in the application of knowledge and science for both internal
and external offices in the interests of the University and society; to
conduct business negotiation management on legal conditions and agreements;
to oversee the interests and benefits derived from research and technical
services by the RSC; and to generate income by providing research and
academic services to the University in accordance with principles,
objectives and policies of the University.
To achieve
these objectives, RSC has been divided into the following three sections
based on function: Training, Research and Development, and Continuous
Education. All activities will be tailored toward the needs of service
users by utilizing academic resources in the University. Training,
seminars and workshops are designed to develop potentials in human resources
in the form of cooperation, study, service and joint development in
accordance with the University’s policy and are provided as continuing
education courses and programs. Special three to six month certificate
training programs are offered for Education, Consulting and Professional
Training, and Cooperative Administration. Research and Development
programs, however, are jointly run and are supported with funding from both
the private and public sectors. Continuous Education aims to use
professional development to further improve efficiency and aptitude in
working professionals. Distance learning, IT systems and normal
approaches are used to increase access to continuous education programs.
Recent activities and projects include: a follow-up study on Quality
Assurance in Higher Education Institutions; New Entrepreneurs Creation
Program for training, incubation and consulting; and Supervisory Skill
Development.
