University of Mauritius Call for Proposals

The idea behind this call for proposal is to bring academics with limited policy level experienced to work with experience policy makers; and the young government employees, with limited capacity for research to work with experienced academics or experienced researchers from reputable research institutions.

These studies are intended to narrow the gap that exists between academic research and the research needed by policy makers.

Potential issues, which proposals could address, include the following:

Better Infrastructure and Logistics to enhance development in the region

Increasing exports of Services through movement of Natural Persons (Mode IV) - what should be done? Since the aim of SADC, by 2015, is to become a common market2, which would involve movement of natural person, it could be interesting for researchers to start conducting studies in this area.

How to attract Business Processes Outsourced by Developed Countries

Exports of Tourism and Medical Tourism; Synergies Among Institutions in the Country

The Country as an Educational Hub; What Needs to be Done?

The potential issues indicated here are only few examples of what can be researched.

Researchers should therefore not limit their choice to these topics alone.

Requirements:
