The Departmental Research and Development Committee (DRDC) hosted its first luncheon meeting for academic staff and PhD students for the 2025/26 academic year on 3 October 2025. The meeting provided an informal and engaging platform for academic staff members and research postgraduate students to connect, share ideas, and discuss upcoming initiatives for research and development of the Department.

A key highlight was the open discussion session, where participants shared their research insights and expertise, as well as the ongoing projects and important findings. The event concluded on a positive note, setting a collaborative tone for the upcoming academic year.

The DRDC would like to thank all who attended and contributed to making this event a success. We look forward to the next luncheon meeting, scheduled for 6 February 2026.
