KUCHING: A memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) and Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros) was inked on Wednesday (July 6).
Unimas said the MoU was to foster activities, research and development in the field of road safety and vehicle safety.
Unimas was represented by deputy vice-chancellor (research and innovation) Dr Wan Hashim Wan Ibrahim while Miros was represented by director-general Datuk Dr Khairil Anwar Abu Kassim.
Aside from that, it was to facilitate new research projects by both parties, potential implementation of Miros programmes such as training and consultancy on road safety at Unimas, and proposed elective courses for undergraduate and master level in the university.
The MoU will tap into the university’s research expertise, bringing the best minds together and aligning all efforts to develop timely real-world research works.
“The MoU is timely as Miros is actively working closely with other agencies, distributors and manufacturers in the field of road safety, including institutions of higher learning to constantly improve road safety for all road users,” Unimas said.
