Our Approaches
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH TO SOCIETY
Research is the foundation of progress and the key to a more sustainable future. Professor Mohamed Kheireddine Aroua, a leading figure in carbon capture research and Head of the Centre for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Utilisation at Sunway University, emphasised, “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.”
Sunway University’s research centres, the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation, brings together more than 600 researchers – including 450 academic staff and 200 PhD researchers – to drive innovation and real-world solutions. Each year, we proudly award 40 PhD scholarships to aspiring postgraduate students from Malaysia and beyond, committed to pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
