With the\u00a0acknowledgement as HiCoE, extensive network and partnership with\u00a0various institutions and agencies locally and internationally are\u00a0established to contribute towards water reclamation development.\u00a0AMTEC represents vehicles for researchers and postgraduate students\u00a0to undertake multidisciplinary research that are internationally\u00a0recognized and meeting global standard in the area of membrane\u00a0technology for water reclamation. All members in AMTEC have initiate\u00a0and lead several joint research projects with local and international\u00a0universities and industries. The knowledge and findings from these\u00a0collaboration research projects have contributed to the research\u00a0findings that benefit to humankind and environment.\u00a0As part of the recognition to the efforts and outputs in research,\u00a0development and innovation activities, several inventions of AMTEC\u00a0members have been awarded in local and international level. In\u00a0addition, AMTEC members have actively involved in translational\u00a0research that has a positive impact to the community. This is to ensure\u00a0that the outcome of the research can be a solution to the national and\u00a0global issues. AMTEC is also one of the collaborative partners for the\u00a0organization of the International Conference on Membrane Science &amp;\u00a0Technology (MST) which is held biannually. This event highlights the\u00a0advances and new findings in membrane science &amp; technology and\u00a0their impacts on technology development.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section_parallax et_pb_with_background  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_pb_fullwidth_section et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"et_parallax_bg_wrap et-pb-parallax-wrapper\"><span\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"et_parallax_bg et_parallax_bg--et_pb_section_2\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/research.utm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2018\/07\/business-07.jpg);\"\n\t\t\t\t\t><\/span><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_fullwidth_header et_pb_fullwidth_header_1 et_animated et_hover_enabled  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_pb_text_align_center et_pb_bg_layout_dark\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_fullwidth_header_container center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"header-content-container center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"header-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Vision<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_header_content_wrapper\"><p><span>To become a hub of membrane - based technology for nation human <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>capital development and wealth creation<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_fullwidth_header_overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_fullwidth_header_scroll\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_3 et_pb_section_parallax  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_pb_fullwidth_section et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_fullwidth_header et_pb_fullwidth_header_2 et_animated et_hover_enabled  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_pb_text_align_center et_pb_bg_layout_dark\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_fullwidth_header_container center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"header-content-container center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"header-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Mission<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_header_content_wrapper\"><p>T<span>o establish AMTEC as a world - renown centre of excellence in Research, Development and Innovation (R &amp;
