Bridging the Gap. Unlocking Possibilities.
Across many regions, a clear gap remains between the current level of research output and the full potential of academic institutions. In both quality and quantity, research performance often falls short of national ambitions—highlighting the urgent need for strategic support, global collaboration, and sustainable capacity building.
Introducing Elsevier’s Research Acceleration Program
