Dean’s Message

Prof. Wisdom Akpalu

Dean, School of Research and Graduate Studies

Welcome to the School of Research and Graduate Studies (SRGS) at GIMPA, the Institute’s newest school. Established in 2018, SRGS is dedicated to research and graduate studies. We aim to become a leading national research institute, acknowledged locally and internationally for our valuable contributions to national development.
We are committed to fostering an environment that encourages faculty and students to engage in impactful research, advance teaching and learning at the graduate level, and promote the acquisition of knowledge in general. As the coordinating body for all graduate programs, including master’s and doctoral programs, within the Institute, SRGS ensures the maintenance of high-quality standards. We facilitate interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, support research capacity building, and assist with grant application and management.
We aim to create a supportive atmosphere where graduate students can think critically, enhance their theoretical skills, and apply their knowledge to address real-world issues.

Collaboration is essential to our mission, and we have established partnerships with esteemed national and international institutions. These include ISSER at the University of Ghana, the Environment for Development Initiative (EfD) at Gothenburg University in Sweden, and the World Resource Institute (WRI) in the United States.
Through these collaborations, we promote high-quality academic research, develop new programs, enhance research capacity among faculty and students, and provide training for decision-makers. To ensure accessibility to faculty research and knowledge products, SRGS has implemented the GIMPA Working Paper Series (GWPS) and the GIMPA Research Intensification Seminar Series (GRISS). These platforms offer convenient access to the valuable work of our faculty. Additionally, SRGS has played a pivotal role in establishing the Institute-wide Institutional Review Board (IRB), which oversees and approves all faculty research projects involving human subjects.
On behalf of the SRGS faculty, I warmly welcome you to GIMPA. We are delighted to have you join us on this journey of research and academic excellence.
