NOUN Launches Maiden Annual Research Week, Unveils Landmark Publications

The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) has flagged off its first Annual Research Week, marking a significant milestone in its research endeavors.

During the launch, two landmark documents were unveiled to strengthen the university's research culture and accountability: the Research Innovations and Information Handbook and the Research Output Report 2021-2024.

Presented by NOUN Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Olufemi Peters, this handbook aims to guide researchers and stakeholders on innovative research practices and information management.

Unveiled by TETFund Executive Secretary, Architect Sonny Echono, represented by Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, this report showcases NOUN's research output and impact during the specified period.

Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe praised NOUN for producing impactful research despite its unique structure as an open and decentralized institution.

The TETFund Executive Secretary emphasized the importance of research in national development and encouraged universities to align their research with pressing national challenges.

The Annual Research Week is expected to showcase ongoing projects, foster collaboration across disciplines, and inspire new ideas among faculties and students. This initiative underscores NOUN's commitment to strengthening its research footprint and contributing to national development through knowledge creation and innovation.
