Assalamualaikum wbt. and hi all!

Today (3rd August 2021) is the day for our group to present the proposal of MySI Grant 2021 in the preliminary evaluation session organized by Yayasan Inovasi Malaysia (YIM).

Our team is lead by Prof. Madya Ts. Dr. Sheikh Ahmad Zaki Bin Shaikh Salim and our proposal is entitled ‘Program Agro-Ekonomi Penanaman Pelbagai Sayuran Berasaskan Teknologi Hidroponik Bersama Komuniti Orang Asli Pos Betau, Kuala Lipis, Pahang’.

Some snippets of this program :

Hi peeps!

Today is the kick start of the ACCER 2021. We had a special virtual gathering session with the UTM Vice Chancellor, Prof. Datuk Ts. Dr. Ahmad Fauzi Bin Ismail.

There are 25 participants and we have been divided into 5 groups with 2 mentors. The leadership topics selected by the organiser are based on the BIG Five #5 Things that focused in 2021 :

1. People Management
2. Institutionalize I.S.E.S
3. Strengthening Research Impact
4. University Governance
5. University High Performance Delivery

We are in Group 3 and our task is on Strengthening Research Impact. Here is the list of our team members :

I am very excited to gain new experience and sharing knowledge with the mentors and other buddies.

Till then, bye!
