The previous MoU ended in 2017.
The overarching aim of the MoU and MoA is to enable both FS and CSC to work together to develop strong links in research. With the signed MoU and MoA, both parties will continue to explore further opportunities for collaborative research in the development of performing fabric using promising photocatalyst. The collaboration would also beneficial to both parties in human resource and talents development as well as research grant securing.
Both UTM and CSC would like to express their gratitude to all the parties involved in ensuring this virtual MoU and MoA signing ceremony runs successfully.
