Research Facilitation
CITRIC is set up as a flexible working space with 24 total seats available for research staff at any given time. Seat allocation is organised through a hot-desking system whereby desks are used by different people at different times, in the interest of maximum space efficiency. Since CITRIC's inauguration, 53 research staff members from AKU's academic departments (i.e. Pathology, Pediatrics, Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Surgery, CoE Women and Child Health, Obstetrics and Gynaecology) have benefitted from using the space to facilitate their research activities.
