Tanta University Implements Clear Mechanisms to Measure the Success of Interdisciplinary Scientific Research

   As part of its strategy to develop the scientific research system, Tanta University has strengthened its institutional mechanisms for measuring and evaluating the success of interdisciplinary scientific research across various scientific disciplines, including natural sciences, engineering, computer science, life sciences, and medical sciences.

   This step reflects the university's commitment to supporting research that relies on the integration of different scientific disciplines, contributing to raising the quality of scientific research, increasing its academic and societal impact, and addressing complex scientific challenges that require multidisciplinary solutions.

   Tanta University relies on a set of quantitative and qualitative indicators to measure the success of interdisciplinary scientific research, most notably:

• The output of interdisciplinary scientific research, through monitoring published research involving researchers from multiple scientific disciplines and faculties.

• Citation analysis and research impact assessment of research that demonstrates its influence across multiple scientific fields.

• Joint research projects, especially funded projects that bring together the faculties of science, engineering, medicine, and computer science.

• Shared research infrastructure, including central laboratories and advanced research units serving multiple scientific disciplines.

• Joint supervision of graduate theses by faculty members from different scientific disciplines.

• International and industrial collaboration in research requiring diverse scientific expertise.

   The university's graduate studies and research sectors review these indicators periodically to guide research funding priorities, support multidisciplinary research teams, and organize workshops and training programs to enhance research collaboration across different scientific disciplines.

   Through these mechanisms, Tanta University affirms its commitment to systematically and sustainably measuring and developing the success of multidisciplinary scientific research, in line with the national strategy for scientific research and the Sustainable Development Goals.
