The 45th Meeting of the Board of Advanced Studies and Research (BASR) at Superior University marked a significant step forward in advancing the University’s vision for impactful and solution-driven research. Chaired by Rector Prof. Dr. Sumaira Rehman, the meeting brought together Deans, Heads of Departments, and senior representatives from key academic and support offices to discuss strategic initiatives for strengthening research and innovation.
A major milestone achieved during the meeting was the approval of a mandatory Commercialization Module for all PhD programs. Developed by the Azra Naheed Center for Research and Development (ANCRD), the initiative, titled “One PhD, One Solution,” is designed to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world application by equipping doctoral scholars with the knowledge and skills needed to transform research outcomes into practical, market-ready solutions.
The program reflects Superior University’s commitment to fostering innovation, strengthening industry-academia collaboration, and cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset among researchers. By integrating commercialization into doctoral education, the University aims to ensure that research extends beyond publication and contributes meaningfully to economic growth, societal development, and national progress.
The BASR’s decision demonstrates a forward-looking approach to higher education, empowering PhD scholars to address complex challenges through impactful research and sustainable innovation. It reinforces Superior University’s mission of transforming knowledge into action and creating solutions that generate lasting value for communities, industries, and society at large.
At Superior University, research is not only about discovery, but it is also about creating meaningful impact, driving innovation, and shaping a better future through knowledge-based solutions.
