Organised by the Office of the Directorate of Research, Innovation, and Postgraduate Studies, the event brought together faculty, researchers, and students to strengthen their skills in grant proposal writing and academic publishing.
The two-day workshop was designed to equip participants with practical knowledge essential for securing research funding and successfully publishing their work.

Experts from various academic disciplines provided invaluable guidance on research dissemination, emphasising best practices for increasing the visibility and impact of scholarly work. An interactive session allowed participants to refine their manuscripts and thesis documents with expert feedback, ensuring they were well-prepared for publication.
The workshop fostered a collaborative learning environment, equipping participants with vital resources to advance their research careers. By offering such initiatives, Zetech University continues to strengthen its commitment to research excellence, innovation, and academic growth.
