Di saat manusia mencari cahaya kebenaran, Rasulullah SAW tampil sebagai teladan agung. Baginda menyinari hati dengan kejujuran, membina Madinah dengan wahyu, dan menyatukan umat dengan kasih sayang serta hikmah.

Madinah al-Munawwarah bukan sekadar kota tetapi lambang tamadun berteraskan tauhid, keadilan, ilmu dan akhlak. Dari sanalah lahir khayra ummah, iaitu umat terbaik yang beriman, menyeru kepada kebaikan dan menolak kemungkaran.

Kitalah pewaris warisan ini. Maka marilah kita melangkah dengan penuh tekun, berdisiplin, dan optimis. Dengan mencontohi sunnah Baginda, insya-Allah kita mampu membina bangsa yang berjiwa besar dan masa depan umat yang gemilang.

Centre of Excellence for Renewable Energy (CERE) continues to strengthen collaboration between academia and industry. The session, “Demand-Driven Research: Unlocking Public Private Research Network (PPRN) Grant Opportunities”, introduces participants to funding pathways that connect research expertise with real industry needs. This initiative ensures that solutions developed by researchers address pressing challenges faced by Malaysian businesses, particularly in the renewable energy sector.

The PPRN Grant by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) provides a platform for innovation that enhances productivity, fosters industrial growth, and ensures research outputs reach beyond the lab. By unlocking these opportunities, UniMAP empowers researchers and industries to co-create technologies that contribute to sustainable development, responsible innovation, and circular practices.

This initiative also demonstrates its alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—advancing SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) through stronger industry-academia collaboration, supporting SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) by fostering demand-driven innovation, and contributing to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) through sustainable research practices.

A special appreciation goes to Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohamad Nur Khairul Hafizi bin Rohani, Director of the Centre for Alumni Relations and Fellow Researcher at CERE, for sharing his insights and expertise in guiding researchers towards impactful collaborations under the PPRN framework. This reflects UniMAP and CERE’s ongoing commitment to driving sustainable industry-academia partnerships that create meaningful impact for society and the nation.
