The ACU has partnered with the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) on a pivotal initiative to explore employing Full Economic Costing (FEC) for research in Malaysia.
The ACU Measures: Malaysia Full Economic Costings Survey seeks to strengthen the financial sustainability of Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs), Government Research Institutes (GRIs) and Private Research Institutes (PRIs) in Malaysia.
The survey is being shared with institutions of higher learning across Malaysia to gain a unique view and insight of the higher education research landscape.
Insights gathered from the survey will contribute to the development of strategic recommendations and guidelines for the national policy implementation of FEC models in government agencies across the Commonwealth.
Key areas the survey covers include
- Participant demographics
- Research income
- Costing and pricing of research
- Costing methodology
- Research management and administration
- Institutional decision-making processes
- Staff time
- Future challenges
We look forward to sharing more details as this exciting initiative progresses in 2025.
