ANNOUNCEMENT: THE CALL FOR INPUT OF DATA OF THE 2023 TOP RESEARCH SCIENTISTS MALAYSIA (TRSM) RECOGNITION, USM

Greetings from the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM).

The Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) through the Top Research Scientists Malaysia (TRSM) initiative aims to identify and recognise active Malaysian research scientists, acknowledge their contribution in Research and Development (R&D) and feature them as experts in their respective research fields. The Top Research Scientists Malaysia are the mentors for the next generation of scientists, leaders in implementing the nation’s STI agenda in ensuring a culture of excellence in Science, Technology, Innovation and Economy (STIE).

ASM also would like to encourage young scientists and ASM Fellows to input their data into the TRSM database. Their input of data will be captured and profiled for talent development programmes facilitated by ASM and other relevant bodies. It is hoped that the data captured in the database would be beneficial for stakeholders to measure the overall R&D capacity of the country, especially on the talent development in STIE.

In relation to this, ASM wishes to welcome outstanding researchers from your organisations to input their data in the ASM Awards and Recognitions system and database platform at www.mytopscientists.org latest by 15 April 2023.

Enclosed are the letter call for input of data with the TRSM poster, brochure, summary guidelines and user handbook for reference (Attachment 1-4).
