At IBSUniversity, research is not merely an academic pursuit — it is a strategic instrument for transformation. It is through research that we address complex societal challenges, inform policy, strengthen industries, and contribute to sustainable development in Papua New Guinea and beyond.
As Director of Research and Postgraduate Studies, I am honored to lead a vibrant and forward-looking research ecosystem that fosters intellectual curiosity, innovation, and purposeful collaboration.
Our vision is to position IBSUniversity as a centre of excellence for applied research and postgraduate education, where knowledge is not only created but translated into impactful, real-world solutions.
Our approach is guided by a simple yet powerful philosophy:
“Research must be locally relevant, globally informed, and socially responsible.”
IBSUniversity actively embraces digital transformation and emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), to enhance research capability, improve institutional effectiveness, and drive innovation across sectors.
A defining strength of our Research Centre is its strong orientation toward industry-engaged and solution-driven research. We collaborate closely with government agencies, corporate organizations, and international partners to deliver evidence-based insights that support strategic decision-making and organizational growth.
We warmly invite industry partners, policymakers, researchers, and aspiring leaders to collaborate with IBSUniversity in advancing innovation, leadership, and sustainable development
