Leading R&D and green initiative institution UKM joins MyBrain15

Officially one of the Research Universities of Malaysia, UKM – the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (National University of Malaysia) – is one of the key contributors to the government’s new program to develop a talent pool of high-level intellectuals to spur the growth of research and innovation in the country: MyBrain15. UKM’s reputation for pioneering environmental and research and development projects are in line with the government’s drive for more R&D initiatives in Malaysia and make it a natural partner for the project.

Recently, UKM’s collaboration with UNU-IIGH culminated in a dynamic hospital administration tool, patented as MyDRG and now used in many developing countries.

UKM’s vice chancellor Prof. Tan Sri Dr. Sharifah Hapsah Syed Hasan Shahabudin says the close collaboration with UNU-IIGH has produced “an internationally universal system.”
