Objective

This project focuses on improving the NM-AIST’s research and education quality through the use of big data, open data and artificial intelligence and through the provision of e-resources to support self-learning. The activities involve purchasing equipment for the department of library services and the ICT Resource Centre (IRC) and School of Computational and Communication Science and Engineering (CoCSE). Training for IRC and Library, stakeholders on the uses of electronic resources, and industrial and professional visits as well as training of 1 PhD are also supported. The project also aims to improve NM-AIST’s societal impact through collaboration with the library and the VLIR P5 project for dissemination of research results
