Kajian ini bermatlamatmenjana satu makanisme atau sistem pemeringkatanprogram penyelidikan di universiti-universiti daninstitusi-institusi penyelidikan di <strong>Malaysia</strong> secara menilaiprogram penyelidikan berasaskan kriteria tertentu; danmembolehkan pengamatan kekuatan penyelidikansesuatu universiti, institut penyelidikan dan programpenyelidikan. Mesyuarat pihak berkepentingan danmesyuarat Kumpulan Panel telah dilaksanakan bagimembincangkan segala penemuan dan metodologiyang disyorkan untuk memperoleh input/cadangan danpandangan mengenai kriteria penilaian yang palingfi rst step. The objective of this plan is to enable ASM tostrengthen its position in guiding <strong>Malaysia</strong> in its pursuitof new knowledge in science for the benefi t of society.The study report has been deliberated by various panelscomprising ASM Fellows who have agreed on thestrategic planning framework that outlines the proposedvision, mission, shared values, goals, key strategies andaction plan. The proposed framework of the strategicplan has been deliberated at Discipline Committeemeetings and they have come out with proposedprogrammes / activities that have been synthesized andincorporated into the Academy’s RMK9 project clusterfor implementation.
