The PRISM’s mandate is to:
BRIEF BACKGROUND OF PRISM
The College of Science and Mathematics has been known to lead in the pursuit of internationalization both in academics and in research among the colleges of MSU-IIT. It is the only college where the four departments (Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics & Statistics and Physics) have Ph.D. programs and are recognized as Centers of Excellence (Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics) and Center of Development (Physics). From 2009-2014, it has produced over 350 ISI and Scopus indexed publications from various research studies undertaken in the college. With this vigorous research climate, the need for adequate space to house state-of-the-art equipment and research facilities, along with the need to create a conducive academic and research environment, the PRISM was conceived and is now established as an answer to this need. PRISM is designed to house all the research laboratories of CSM. This is a move which strongly encourages collaboration between research groups to produce quality researches beneficial to both the institute and the community. PRISM members are institute faculty members who are actively doing quality researches in Science and/or Mathematics.
