The GRIC Platform

As a collaboration catalyst, GRIC focuses on:
  • Identifying Industry Research Needs: Conducting periodic surveys to identify and compile the research needs of industry is a crucial first step. This allows for a focused approach to addressing industry-specific challenges as well as aligning research efforts with industry requirements.
  • Mobilising Research Outputs: This step is essential for ensuring that research findings are easily accessible and can be effectively utilised by industry and policy makers. This promotes the dissemination of knowledge and its practical application.
  • Supporting Research Development: Supporting the development of research outputs tailored to industry needs is a vital role. This helps ensure that research is not only conducted but also relevant and applicable.
  • Facilitating Collaboration: One of GRIC’s core functions is to facilitate collaboration among various stakeholders, fostering an environment conducive to research and innovation. This collaborative approach is key to driving progress.
  • Conducting Policy and Dialogue Sessions: Engaging in policy discussions and dialogues is a strategic move to translate research outcomes into actionable policies and practices. This demonstrates a commitment to driving change at a systemic level. 
  • Organizing Learning Workshops: Organising workshops to build the capacity of both research and industry stakeholders is a proactive approach. It ensures that all parties involved are equipped with the requisite knowledge and skills which are pivotal for achieving meaningful collaboration.
  • Advocating for Resources: Advocating for a conducive business environment as well as technical and financial resources to support research and innovation aligned with industry needs is a critical function. This advocacy underscores the importance of funding and support for research initiatives.
