Center for Excellence in Research, Training & Higher Learning

Centres of Excellence (CoEs) can be described as organizational environments that strive for,
and succeed in, developing high standards of conduct in a field of research, innovation, or
learning. Centres of Excellence involve high research quality and productivity, resource
attraction and concentration, international visibility and attractiveness (including staff
recruitment), and organizational robustness (good governance). They are often highly
attractive to research and development investments and talent in their field, and two
common pillars of excellence in this regard tend to recur namely prioritization and
concentration in terms of focus and resources. Therefore, they possess the ability to absorb
and generate new knowledge. Ideally, they would distribute and utilize this new knowledge
in the form of new capacity in their field, be it research results, innovations, or talent.

To be established as an offshoot of Punjab Higher Education Commission, the Center for


Excellence (CoE) in Research, Teaching and Higher Learning will work to improve
indigenous academic research quality and productivity, resource attraction and
concentration, international visibility and attractiveness (including staff recruitment), and
organizational robustness (good governance). The CoE will

1. Establish a consortium of various collaborative research groups, recognized


nationally in their field of research, to improve the quality and efficiency of scientific
research and production of new knowledge based on indigenous problems and
suggest their remedies.
2. Develop and sharpen the core competencies of people involved in teaching
profession viz. teachers, administrative staff, and support staff.
3. Facilitate the development and implementation of innovative teaching strategies,
and provides institution-wide support for faculty in the development of online,
