**Unleashing Opportunities: The Transformative Impact of HEC-Pakistan’s IRSIP Program**

The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has initiated a transformative project called the “International Research Support Initiative Program (IRSIP).” This initiative offers a six-month research fellowship abroad to full-time PhD students in Pakistan. The primary objective of this program is to provide extensive exposure to PhD scholars, enriching their research endeavours with global insights. IRSIP opens doors to a multitude of opportunities, including enhanced research skills, increased visibility, cultural exchange, networking prospects, access to expertise and resources, collaborative ventures, and impactful publications. Through these diverse experiences, IRSIP empowers scholars, fostering professional development and facilitating the creation of high-quality, globally relevant research outcomes.

However, the IRSIP enrollment in the country remained pending due to lack of awareness among scholars. There is an urgent need to inspire scholars to seize this golden opportunity, immersing themselves in the best practices of the global academic community. A collective and collaborative approach, orchestrated at both university and HEC levels, is imperative to ignite scholars’ interest.

Emphasizing global best practices, HEC’s proactive outreach to every province, showcasing the program’s success stories, and simplifying the application process can be transformative phases of the under-reference journey. Through these unified efforts, Pakistan’s education sector can yield significant results with a significant impact.
