As an institution of higher learning research is among its core functions. Research colaboration is a strategy for various reasons. First research is a continuum of activities, where one research findings leads to solution or solutions of a problem. Usually solution of a problem unveils new research problems. Many international organizations are involved in research as donors, and are therefore, having access to recent research reports unveiling many new problems for research and often request for research proposals and they are therefore, are potentially available for collaboration. IMTU shall therefore be watchful for invitations to submit research proposals for research funding by potential donors.

IMTU shall look for research opportunities (or research colaboration) by frequently visiting the websites of potential colaborators. This is an important activity of the Directorate of Research and Publications in collaboration with the Directorate of Quality Asurance.
