With a view to buttressing the research culture at MGI and incentivising its academics and researchers to become more research-active, a Research Policy Framework (RPF) has been devised and implemented to give a new orientation to research as well as the publication of research outputs, in line with the Institute’s research priorities, besides paving the way and delineating the importance of artistic or practice-based research in the visual arts, performing arts, and creative writing; the three areas of predilection of the Institute. To attain the objectives of the RPF, a Centre for Research (CFR) has been set up since September 2020 to shove up interest and passion for research on the part of academics and researchers, especially early-career scholars.
The aim and objectives of the CFR are as follows:
Aim
