OUR ACTIVITIES
Today, knowledge is very important. In all areas — like technology and social services —
R&D (Research and Development) gets the biggest part of the budget. If cities do more R&D
work, it will be a good and important change. Local problems can be solved better, and it will
help the government in making better decisions in the future, especially in education.
What the R&D Unit does:
Checks new project ideas and works with other teams.
Finds what the R&D team needs and helps to meet those needs.
Planning and carrying out training activities.
Works with the Ministry of Health’s R&D team.
What is R&D?
R&D means regular work to get new ideas, new knowledge, and new tools. It helps science
and education. It also helps to make new products and improve old ones.
The R&D team follows new changes and plans to improve things like education and other
areas in the institution.
Many people use the word R&D, but they may think different things. Some think it means
making new products, others think it means doing science.
The real meaning of R&D:
R&D is careful and creative work to learn more and use this knowledge in new ways. It has
three parts:
1. Basic Research: Learning new things just to understand them better (not for a direct
use).
2. Applied Research: Learning new things for a clear goal or to solve a problem.
3. Development Work: Using knowledge to make new products or improve systems and
services.
