About the Directorate
Research is one among the three main pillars of Mizan-Tepi University, fulfilling its major mission as a higher education institute.
The Research, Publication Ethics and Dissemination Directorate office is working aggressively on research focusing on projects geared towards solving society's problems. Furthermore, to address the research priorities of the country in general, and the community in particular, the office has adopted a thematic research approach.
Areas of research and relevant topics are identified in consultation with the relevant stakeholders, sectors, and community, who play a key role in meeting regional and national priority needs as well as relevant international trends.
The conduct of research is governed by the guidelines developed by MTU as well as the nationally harmonized research and community engagement guideline.
