Heavy Investments
in R&D
Heavy Investments in R & D
- Scientific world changing: new players (Example: South-East Asia, Middle East, North Africa)
- Global R&D Spending increased from 790b to 1.145b (2002-2007) - No of researchers increased from 5.7m to 7.1m (2002-2007)- Tunisia in 1999 had zero science budget, now 0.7% of GDP into
science.- Turkey’s R&D expenditure increased six times(1995-2007), the
number of scientists jumped by 43% and four times as many papers with Turkish authors published (1996-2008).
- Iran’s research papers rose from 736 in 1996 to 13,238 in 2008. Its government is targetting to increase R&D to 4% of GDP by 2030.

Year 2011-2013 Spending:Budget Cut & Internal Funds
• Govt Wants to Reduce the Budget Deficit for year 2013• All IPTA Will Experience Budget Cut in year 2013• During Budget Review(9-4-2012), MOF Directed UM to
Provide RM100 million From Internal Funds in year 2013
• Since year 2010 - 2012, UM has to Provide RM167 million from Internal Funds
• Development Projects which use internal grants: Gemas, Jelebu, Bachok, Fac Engineering, PPUM, Fac Medicine, Sports Centre, Furniture, HIR, student’s facility
• On 18 April 2012: KSN Directed Sharing of Resources between Institutions, Cost Saving & Prudent Spending
• Funding is the Fuel to Research Advancement• Funding is the Fuel to Academic Progress• The Sustainability and Progress of any Institution
is Highly Dependent on the Funding It Receives
