SCHOLARSHIP ADVANCEMENT PROGRAMMES (SAP)

SAP is an intervention to facilitate academics’ function in advancing the scholarship
they specialize or lead.

This entails a more dedicated focus being given to knowledge generation (conducting
research) and its dissemination activities (presenting in seminar/conference/workshop
or publishing in books, journals, book chapters etc.)
In SAPs 2019, 2020, and 2021, KIRKHS academics have been participating in the
programmes organized by their respective departments.

The SAPs have led to several desired outcomes, including:
1. facilitating academics to share their academic work with fellow colleagues;
2. disseminating their research findings/work to a larger community in the
academe, via various media (books, edited books, journal articles, book
chapters, newspaper articles)
