Putting Research Output Under the Microscope
Held under the theme โ€œAdvancing Sustainable Development through Quality Research and Innovation,โ€ the IHR featured parallel sessions for proposals and completed studies that gave presenters to refine their work based on the recommendations raised during the discussions.
By the end of the activity, organisers and participants emphasized the value of the review as a practical step in improving research quality before projects move forward to implementation, publication, or further institutional support.
