SMPPI V2: Powering Research, Conferences, and Innovation at UMS

Behind every groundbreaking discovery is a process — proposals, grant applications, conference submissions, financial tracking, and endless paperwork. For researchers, these administrative tasks can often feel like obstacles standing between ideas and innovation.

At Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), we believe researchers should spend more time doing research and less time buried in forms. That’s why we built the Sistem Pengurusan Penyelidikan, Persidangan & Inovasi (SMPPI) — a digital platform that simplifies and streamlines every stage of the research journey.
