UWU Research Awards 2021

Establishing a strong research culture in Uva Wellassa University is an achievable challenge in the presence of proper drive and motivation. The founding of a strong research culture in the university will not only help us achieve the world-class status by improving the University’s rank locally and globally, but will also open up many other channels for further advancement as a higher education institute.

The Research Committee of Uva Wellassa University has taken initiatives to promote and strengthen the research activities in the university. A logical and positive step towards that would be to recognize, support and encourage the academics, who conduct high-quality research and publish them in recognized and indexed journals. Acknowledging such distinguished individuals through a fair rewarding mechanism would not only encourage them to pursue further research of higher standards, but would also surely entice the fellow academics to follow in their footsteps.

UWU Research Awards appreciates and promotes the research and related activities of Uva Wellassa University based on research performance, on a competitive basis.
