| Institutions of higher education are naturally involved in the processes of creating new knowledge, both abstract and applied. No programs of high quality education can be implemented by people who are themselves not creative and who may be devoid of the excitement of innovation, discovery, or application of knowledge to new situations. It is accepted all over the world that the young teachers and scholars are a singular source of new ideas, which contribute to the advancement of society. The research activities of institutions of higher education are inspired by considerations of excellence at an international level as well as of application to solving the problems of a given society. These activities could be linked once again to the social, cultural, economic, and natural environment to focus attention on problems of local and regional development in the country in order to achieve the goal of national development. |
