Research Skill Mapping is the process of designing and developing a skill mapping framework for researchers by identifying and analyzing the essential competencies required to become influential researchers on the international stage. This includes academic expertise, research skills, technology, innovation, and research management.

This skill mapping framework systematically defines the Researcher Development Pathway, serving as a strategic guide to enhance researchers' capabilities in alignment with the country’s future needs. Additionally, it provides opportunities to translate knowledge and technology into economic value, whether through intellectual property filings or the advancement of energy technologies for carbon reduction.
