For PhD programmes, the reforms suggest adopting a “project-first” approach, reducing completion timelines, strengthening industry partnerships, and encouraging research aimed at developing tangible products. Committees will oversee the rollout of these changes. In addition, a Prime Minister Research Chair scheme is planned to fund 120 fellows working in priority areas.
