DENTAL RESEARCH

PROCESS (2)A trial to understand and how to connect with the

RESEARCH To research is to investigate systemically.

(French origin word) Research comprises “creative work

undertaken on a systematic basis to increase the stock of knowledge – including knowledge of humankind, culture and society – and the use of this stock to innovate new applications.”

“You need a pipeline of researchers,” says Fox, DMD, DMSc, executive director of the International and American Associations for Dental Research (IADR/ AADR). “That means encouraging students to pursue academic and dental research careers.”

5- Funding

School of Research

PLAN Z In our modern Arab culture, we miss

having alternatives. Although skillful people around us are the people of alternatives.

Please, put in your mind during keeping trying, having a “PLAN B”, “PLAN C” and “PLAN D”, especially in Egypt.

During working these plans can be modified, even to reach “PLAN Z”

2- NEW IDEAS

2- NEW IDEAS: II- HOW TO KEEP?SHARE YOUR IDEAS THROUGH Publish a review, or even a letter to the editor. Publish a research paper with someone older. Emailing a foreigner researcher to work together. Submit to a Scientific Project Call Estabishing a research group to your new idea Don’t give up your own ideas to despair because

of people’s suggestions about the reality. Try it yourself, either with a colleague who

admires it or even alone. Take care without panic, in order not to be

stolen.

PUBLISHING: TALK TO BE KNOWN

3- RELATIONS

3- RELATIONS1. Education Professors2. Education Colleagues(Graduation, Masters)3. Work Colleagues4. Conferences, Workshops & Courses5. Online Connections

3- RELATIONS = COLLABORATION In the past few decades there has been much focus

on innovation and collaboration. Innovation is deemed to be the key to the

advancement of various world economies and the solution of the many challenges faced in today’s world.

Because of the increasing complexity of the problems faced in many areas, collaboration of people with many different skills and backgrounds, as well as different racial, ethnic and cultural groups.

Diverse Groups Collaborators may have complementary knowledge bases that facilitate the development of creative solutions.

This is a very reasonable assumption.

Each consists of: A lead researcher A group of students Possibly postdoctoral fellows, and technical staff.

The members do not necessarily work on the same research study.

What defines the group are the area of study, and most importantly, the lead researcher, who is often a professor at a research university.

Research groups can have different structures: either loosely or tightly organized.

3- RELATIONS - RESEARCH GROUP

3- RELATIONSA –TIGHTLY ORGANIZED RESEARCH GROUPS

The students and postdoctoral fellows associated with all of the lead researcher’s projects work together in shared laboratory space. (center of action)

These groups meet on a regular basis to:1. Report on the progress of their research2. Share knowledge and skills3. Critique one another’s research. 4. They may also engage in the collective reading and

critique of the literature in journal clubs. The proximity of students, postdoctoral fellows,

and the lead researcher in the laboratory provides for informal discussions.

They also engage in social activities together, such as cookouts and holiday and birthday parties.

RESEARCH PROJECT In the Research

Project, students have the opportunity to study an area of interest in depth.

They use their creativity and initiative, while developing the research and presentation skills they will need in further study or work.

4- Mentor

4- MENTOR Mentorship is a relationship in which a

more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person. The mentor may be older or younger, but have a certain area of expertise. It is a learning and development partnership between someone with vast experience and someone who wants to learn.

4- MENTOR Supervisor finding Supervisor invasion The social Media for Scientists

Professors. The Research Community

authorities, by charitable organizations and by private groups, including many companies.” (Wikipedia/Research)

ERASMUS MUNDUS The Erasmus Mundus programme is

another, parallel programme that is orientated towards globalising European education. Whereas the Erasmus Programme is open to Europeans, Erasmus Mundus is open to non-Europeans with Europeans being exceptional cases.

ERASMUS+ 2014–2020 Erasmus+ (2014-2020), also called Erasmus

Plus, is the new 14.7 billion euro catch-all framework program for education, training, youth and sport. 

The new Erasmus+ programme combines all the EU's current schemes for education, training, youth and sport, including the Lifelong Learning Programme (Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Comenius, Grundtvig), Youth in Action and five international co-operation programmes (Erasmus Mundus, Tempus, Alfa, Edulink and the programme for co-operation with industrialised countries). The Erasmus+ regulation was signed on 11 December 2013.

RECOMMENDATIONS1. Individually:

1. Keep Trying2. Read, think and Publish.3. Explore the profession as a researcher in the same time as a

dentist. 4. Any course, workshop, conference will help.

2. In Groups:1. Teamwork, try to aggregate2. Organize events, know people in the profession, and take

experience.3. Coordination between organs mean that we are living,

having nerves and control. We lack coordination in our Egyptian system.

3. Our Division:1. School of (Dental) Research2. Reaching 5 scholarships in our division annually in 5 years

will make a committee of experts.3. Arrangement of an event for “Experience Abroad” by those

who returns. (To become a tradition)
