THE International Exposition of Research and Inventions of Institutions of Higher Learning (PECIPTA), which will be held for the fifth time this year, will draw the attention of local and international industries. The exposition to be held from October 8-10, is jointly organised by the Higher Education Ministry and Universiti Malaya.
The exposition themed “Driving research innovation towards value creation,” would be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). It would see a total of over 500 exhibits, from 19 public universities (IPTA) and 3 private institutions (IPTS) of higher learning.
“The focus of this exposition is to showcase the research and development (R&D) works that have been done, and encourage the commercialisation of the products featured,” he said.
Universiti Malaya vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Ghauth Jasmon agreed, saying, “we hope to attract not only local visitors, but more foreign visitors, as this event is aimed to expose the level of research and output that has been done by Malaysian universities”. “Based on what we have seen, the research capability of Malaysian universities is comparable to that of international standards,” he added.
Prof Ghauth said that they have saw over 30,000 visitors in the previous PECIPTA event, and this year, they hope to see more visitors.
p/s: There will also be a competition to spice up the event.
