MESSAGE OF DIRECTOR
The Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC) at The University of Faisalabad (TUF) was established in 2014.
This is a fundamental step in empowering the students, faculty, departments, and institutes to
work for intensive research activities. The ORIC at TUF incentives the research culture by
encouraging the faculty and students to generate intellectual properties, innovate the
projects through research, and commercialize the products for the benefit of the nation,
and build a trustworthy bridge among the university and industries. In the modern era, to
lead in educational institutes, it requires impassioned, strong commitment, and deep research expertise
In today’s competitive environment our faculty and departments continuously
making their efforts to boost their standards toward teaching expertise
and quality research. The mission of ORIC is to manage, enhance and
develop the research programs and recognize the TUF among the best in advanced
research culture and the research-based top-ranking higher education institutes.
I am confident that ORIC at TUF will continue the progress to achieve the goals and one
day we will be accomplished prominent success in the fields for that we are struggling.
