البحث العلمي وأثره الفاعل في نهضة الجامعات
The study seeks to address the fundamental inquiry about the influence of scientific research conducted at universities on the advancement of society across its educational, economic, and political dimensions. The researchers used the descriptive methodology to gather information and analyze the findings. The study yielded many findings, with the most significant being the correlation between research activity at universities and its association with certain elements, which revealed a deficiency. The relationship between universities and industrial sectors is hindered by regulatory, technical, and financial challenges. There is a lack of cooperation due to universities perceiving a lack of confidence from industrial institutions in their postgraduate research, and industrial sectors feeling that universities are not interested in conducting applied research that addresses production. The researchers proposed several recommendations, such as enhancing the collaboration between society and the university, facilitating the involvement of the private sector and productive institutions, allocating financial resources for scientific research, and streamlining administrative procedures. To regulate the protocols for managing the funds and to solidify the perception that scientific research is not a frivolous expenditure, but rather the most lucrative kind of investment.
