Every successful project starts with a conversation. The first and most important step is to reach out to the Research Coordinator. This meeting is not just a formality—it’s where the project begins to take shape. Together, you explore the core idea, assess its strategic potential, and identify what resources, collaborations, or adjustments might be needed. This early dialogue ensures that the project is grounded in institutional priorities and positioned for success from the outset.

Based on this initial input, the researcher creates an entry in ReAp with a working title. At this stage, it's also crucial to assess which funding sources the project might align with. Following this, a second strategic discussion with the Head of Section (HoS) helps confirm that the project fits within the department’s research direction and strengthens its potential for support and approval.
