To develop and strengthen a dynamic research, innovation and commercialization ecosystem at CUSIT by supporting high-quality research, facilitating competitive funding, promoting intellectual property and technology transfer, encouraging entrepreneurship, building strong national and international collaborations, and connecting academia with industry to create measurable academic, economic and societal impact.

Welcome to the Office of Research, Innovation & Commercialization (ORIC), City University of Science and Information Technology, Peshawar.

At CUSIT, we believe that universities must go beyond the transmission of knowledge and become active contributors to research, innovation, entrepreneurship and societal development. ORIC has therefore been positioned as a central platform to connect our faculty, researchers and students with funding agencies, industry, national and international partners, and emerging opportunities for innovation and commercialization.

Our focus is to build a strong and sustainable research ecosystem where ideas are encouraged, quality research is supported, intellectual property is protected, innovative solutions are developed, and promising research is translated into practical outcomes. We are equally committed to strengthening industry-academia collaboration, promoting startups and entrepreneurship, facilitating competitive research funding, and enhancing the national and international visibility of CUSIT.

ORIC will work closely with every academic department and relevant administrative office to ensure that research and innovation become an integral part of the University's institutional culture. Through collective effort, effective governance and a results-oriented approach, we aspire to contribute significantly towards positioning CUSIT among the leading universities of Pakistan.

I invite our faculty, students, researchers, industry partners and wider community to engage with ORIC and become part of this journey of research, innovation and transformation.
