Shanto-Mariam University of Creative Technology is one of the pioneer design based universities in Bangladesh. In 2003 while higher education was so monopoly and on average common trend in Bangladesh, Mr. Imamul Kabir Shanto, a valiant freedom fighter and progressive philanthropist founded a unique education system through the establishment of Shanto-Mariam University of Creative Technology, where Art and Design have been blossomed to build the ‘’Shonar Bangla” by using natural resources, practical pedagogy of educational method and cultural with the touch of aesthetics.
As a creative university we have an innovative research center for the faculty members and students as well.
Whereas the research output at a research center is primarily driven by the faculty members, visiting scholars, and doctoral students, the support personnel are also vital. At most research centers, four types of support staff are key to efficient functioning.
First, a center administrator is critical in running a research center. This person will typically coordinate the daily operations, support all entities involved in the center, and manage interactions of the center with the other constituents of the department/university and external vendors.
Second, a research coordinator is needed to manage and coordinate all research projects at the center. This would ideally include identifying research needs, coordinating project activities, and generating and delivering reports.
In addition, this member can also aid in disseminating research findings via journals, Design -related publications, and books, assist in all writing initiatives at the center, and explore new research opportunities that will keep the research pipeline of the center in steady flow. The goal of a research center is to enable interaction between faculty, scholars, students, Different Organizations and industry to enhance research opportunities, academic excellence, real-world problem solving, and knowledge creation and dissemination. This interaction is facilitated by the Director of the design centre.
Specifically, the overarching goal is to advance the art & design, science, and practice of learning and teaching as it pertains to the unique aspects of managing brands and customers. The integration of knowledge from other relevant disciplines intrigues the most sophisticated statistical knowledge to produce useful and cutting-edge knowledge. To facilitate research productivity, SMUCT DESIGN CENTRE ensures that each faculty member engages with multiple Projects.
