Our Approaches
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH TO SOCIETY
PhD researchers hold the potential to revolutionise society, the community, and science. Professor Mohamed Kheireddine Aroua, Head of the Centre for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Utilisation at Sunway University emphasized, “Research is not only important but also transformative. It possesses the ability to save lives and the world. Research sparks creativity, encourages unconventional thinking, and leads to innovative solutions for both students and professional.”
In our research centres, the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation has 500-600 researchers, which includes 450 academic staff and 200 PhD researchers, offering them exceptional opportunities. Annually, we offer 40 PhD scholarships to deserving students, both from Malaysia and around the world. JCF inspires PhD students from disadvantaged backgrounds to fulfil their dreams.
