Research Hub

Overview

The FIBH Research Hub at E-JUST is an innovative platform aimed at fostering interdisciplinary research and collaboration in the fields of business and humanities. Initially composed of three core centers—Sustainability and AI Center, Case Method Center, and BusinessExperimental Research Center—the hub serves as a foundation for addressing pressing global and regional challenges. With a focus on sustainability, cutting-edge methodologies, and hands-on learning, the hub aspires to drive impactful research and provide actionable solutions. While currently focused on these three areas, the hub is designed to evolve and expand its scope, incorporating additional research centers to address emerging trends and needs.

Vision

To become a leading research hub in Africa in interdisciplinary research and innovation, shaping sustainable business practices, advancing human-centered solutions, and equipping future leaders with the skills and knowledge to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Mission

FIBH Research Hub is dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research, fostering innovation, and promoting practical solutions in business and humanities. By integrating innovative research methodologies, the hub seeks to address real-world challenges, empower students and researchers, and create impactful contributions to academia, industry, and society.

Objectives

1. Promote Interdisciplinary Research: Foster collaboration across disciplines to create innovative solutions for complex business and societal challenges. Unlike many research centers that specialize in a single discipline, our hub emphasizes collaboration across business and humanities, fostering innovative solutions for complex challenges.
2. Address Global and Regional Issues: Conduct research that addresses sustainability, technology integration, and socioeconomic development in alignment with global and regional priorities. Our approach distinguishes the FIBH Research Hub from existing research centers by emphasizing a holistic understanding of these challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration. We aim to not only identify pressing issues but also to develop innovative, context-specific solutions that reflect the unique needs of our communities.
3. Enhance Practical Learning: Provide students and researchers with opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning to bridge the gap between theory and practice. We prioritize practical, experiential learning, providing students and researchers with real-world applications of their studies, which distinguishes us from centers that primarily focus on theoretical research.
4. Support Industry Collaboration: Build partnerships with industry leaders to align academic research with market needs and promote knowledge exchange. By actively building partnerships with industry leaders, we ensure our research aligns with market needs, facilitating knowledge exchange that enhances the relevance and impact of our findings.
5. Encourage Innovation: Leverage advanced technologies, such as AI, to explore and develop transformative solutions for businesses and communities. Also, Integration of Advanced Technologies: Our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technologies, particularly in sustainability and AI, positions us at the forefront of research innovation, enabling us to address contemporary issues in ways that traditional centers may not.
6. Expand Research Impact: Lay the groundwork for future expansion into additional research areas, ensuring the hub remains relevant and responsive to evolving challenges. The FIBH Research Hub is designed to adapt and expand its research areas based on emerging trends and societal needs, ensuring that we remain responsive to global and regional challenges
