Research andInnovationVisionTo be a world-class institution of excellence in research, innovationand entrepreneurship for sustainable development.MissionTo create knowledge in science and technology to help solve the global challenges of the21st century;To promote and support excellence in graduate education for individual students, faculty,departments and the university as a whole;To contribute to innovation through technology transfer and entrepreneurship forsustainability in socio-economic development; andTo foster a culture of collaborative and innovative research that facilitates the production ofsocially relevant solutions and knowledge transfer.Division of Research And InnovationThe unit is responsible for assisting students and researchers at NUM in a variety of waysas listed below.ResponsibilitiesTo develop a research and innovation policy and strategic plan for NUM;To identify and exploit alternative sources of funding for research conducted by NUMresearchers and students;To build capacity in proposal development, project implementation and report writing(including publishing in peer reviewed journals);To develop a university wide mentoring program for junior scientists and researchers; andTo promote collaboration among university-industry-government as a triple helix.Research and DevelopmentAchievementsSince NUM was established, leading professors emerged, who were conducting cuttingedgeresearch in priority fields of natural and applied sciences, social sciences and humanity.The great merit of NUM lies in the rich experiences and intellectual wealth amassed by themany hundreds of scholars who have not only undertaken research work in all areas ofthe natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities, but who have also prepared newgenerations of scholars and professionals for their respective fields. A sampling of somenotable research achievements by NUM scholars include:At the NUM, World-class center for Mongolian Studies has been established by B.Rinchen,Sh.Luvsanvandan, Ts.Damdinsuren and their students based on their research activities.Those research works have been embraced by Mongolian linguists, cultural historians,literary specialists, textologists, and by scholars worldwide.In 1954, L.Shagdar, faculty member of NUM, graduated from Moscow State University withPhD degree on probability theory. He was the first Mongolian scientist mathematician andthen mathematics research was initiated at NUM. Since that time, many scientist haveworked on algebra analysis, applied mathematics and geometry and published internationallevel research results. Since 1990, mathematics new directions including optimazition,mathematical simulation, functional analysis software and mathematics education arebeing developed and currently around half of the ca. 400 academic articles published byour mathematicians are in specialized journals abroad, an indication of the internationallyrecognizedmathematics research at NUM.Since mid-1960s, NUM nuclear physicists have been collaborating with the Dubna JointInstitute for Nuclear Research where they have made some important experiments and6

found new results related to atomic nuclear structure and reactions; observed phenomenagiving rise to high-spin nuclear states of phi mesons, and participated in the discovery ofseveral new isotopes. These research findings have been published as articles in well-knowninternational journals, and have resulted nearly hundred publications.Chemists at NUM undertook the international collaborative studies of general andphysical chemistry, chemistry of silicates, environmental pollution, rare earth elements,hydrometallurgy and chemical-technological development of major coal and petroleumdeposits in Mongolia. In recent years, chemists at NUM have been working on new nanostructuredmaterials and molecular and thin film based organic optoelectronic devices aswell as photovoltaic cells.Since 1970, scholars at NUM and the University of Irkutsk have jointly undertaken complexresearch on the ecosystems of Lake Khuvsgul and Selenge River Basins, which contributesto the preparation of specialists in many fields of the natural sciences, including geology,geography, biology, chemistry, meteorology, geophysics, etc., and in the establishment ofvarious new collaborations related to these areas of study.Since 1973, NUM biologists have effectively led joint expeditions with the Martin LutherUniversity of Germany to study Mongolian flora and fauna, and the acclimatization ofbeavers. These expeditions have resulted in the publication of approximately 250 articles;moreover, 10 volumes of the series Biological Resources in Mongolia have been published inthe German and English languages.Entomologists have discovered over 60 species in the course of their taxonomic study ofsoil mites. As a result of this research, approximately 80 articles have been published inmany highly-regarded international journals, including those in the United States, Japan,England, France, Germany, Spain, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia, Korea, the SouthAfrican Republic, and Ukraine.Biochemical studies of the phytochemical content of biologically active substances ofcultivated, wild, edible and medicinal plants of Mongolia focused on identification of newnatural compounds, and studies of their structures and biological activities. The resultswere published in academic intertnational journals. The research of NUM biophysicists onthe photosynthetic mechanisms of evolutionarily distinct plants and the bioinformatics ofprotein composition have been drawing the attention of researchers around the world.Over the past ten years, the University has been adopting policies to meet internationalstandards as established by the world’s leading universities.Since 2011, NUM has an access to Web of Knowledge database that includes ScienceCitation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts & HumanitiesCitation Index (AHCI), Journal Citation Report - Science Edition and Social Science Edition(JCR-S and JCR-SS).There are now 17 editorial boards based at NUM, which oversee the publication of its scientificjournals. We aim to have international professional editorial boards for our research journalscomprised of both NUM scholars and also well-known foreign and Mongolian scholars.At present, ten NUM scientific journals (mathematics, biology, chemistry, anthropology,archeology, history, Mongolian study, and political research) are registered as internationaljournals and have received those ISSNs.Technology Transfer: NUM recognizes the importance of fostering the development andutilization of innovation, and that the proper management and protection of innovation asintellectual property (IP) is an essential endeavor to promote and advance the University’smission. In March 2011, NUM established a Technology Transfer Office (TTO) responsiblefor protecting, managing and licensing the intellectual property of NUM, including inventionsin the nanotechnology, life science, information-communication technology and physicalsciences sectors, copyright-protected materials such as software and images, and tangibleresearch materials. The TTO’s mission is to promote and facilitate the transfer of NUM’sinnovations for the benefit of the University and the public. Faculties are responsible forreporting any discoveries or inventions that may have commercial value and any work thatseems likely to produce such discoveries or inventions to the TTO.Entrepreneurship education: Entrepreneurship means the transformation of an idea intoan enterprise that creates value—economic, social, cultural, or intellectual. NUM stronglyfocuses on the entrepreneurship education to increase the intellectual capital and promoteentrepreneurial abilities and creativity in Mongolia.National University of Mongolia 7

Economic InstituteThe Economic Institute was established in 1963 under the jurisdiction of the Academy of Sciences of Mongolia. It hasbecome a part of the School of Economic Studies, NUM since 1997. The most substantial works completed by the instituteare “The review of the economic development of Mongolia and its prognoses” in 50 volumes and “The national programof scientific and technological development” in 28 volumes.The Economic Institute organizes a research team of experts on economic field to implement research projects and itcollaborates closely with academics from the School of Economic Studies.At present the Institute is carrying out various research on many subjects related to the Mongolian economy, such as thecurrent economic state, future trends, macroeconomic policies, their impacts, economic sectors’ development policy,sustainable development, human development and growth, stabilization policy, equilibrium theory and fiscal policy.The institute cooperates with the Economics Institute of the Academy of Social Sciences (China), Research Institutes ofthe Planning Department under auspices of the government of Japan and Economic Institute of the Academy of SocialSciences (Russia).12Institute for Sustainable DevelopmentLast three years have been seen the idea of a “Green Economy” float out its specialist mooring in environmental economicsand into the mainstream of policy disclose. The concept of a green economy is an attempt to reconcile economic interestswith environmental protection and social justice. With green economy now firmly established on the international policyagenda, it is useful to review and clarify the linkage between a green economy and sustainable development. Sustainabledevelopment concept was officially accepted at the UN Conference on Environment and Development at Rio de Janeiroin 1992. “RIO+20” UN Conference, Rio de Janeiro, June 2012 will focus on green economy in context of sustainabledevelopment and poverty eradication, institutions for sustainability governance, and new and emerging challenges.Consultation meeting on integration of the adaptation to climate change and sustainable development of Mongolia,Ulaanbaatar, June 2010 and Tokyo, January 2011 within framework of the Asia-Pacific Adaptation Network identifieda gap of institutional need with capacity for systems analysis and to be a knowledge hub of networks. On the otherhand, Ts. Elbegdorj, President of Mongolia gives the highest priority on sustainable development and security of humanenvironmentalsystems of Mongolia. Global environmental changes, including climate change, air pollution in Ulaanbaatar,water security, land degradation and biodiversity, are challenging issues. The Mongolian Government is keen to adopt greeneconomic development pathway rather than “brown economy” according to the Prime-Minister. Therefore, sustainabledevelopment of Mongolia is becoming the highest priority for our country when it is going to have the fastest growingeconomy in the world. Green society and green economy is critical integral parts of green development. However, currently,there is no research institution in Mongolia, focused on green development. Green city and green campus developmentissues already have emerged in Mongolia. In response to above circumstances, National University of Mongolia recentlyestablished Institute for Sustainable Development to develop (ISD) science based green development policy for economicsocial-environmentalsystems of Mongolia and excellent or higher education on sustainable development for graduatestudents. In order to anticipate all these international developments The ISD also will provide global sustainability scienceand education, sustainable development policy and innovation inter-linkage. ISD will have multi-disciplinary staff:economist, human and environmental scientists, who already conduct systems analysis. Any scientist from the NUMcan collaborate on the projects, conducted by the ISD. Experts not only from the NUM, but other institutions will be hiredwhen it is needed. Graduate students on environmental and sustainability sciences will have chance to work at the ISD.The ISD will organize multi and transdisciplinary science and technology seminar or lecture on sustainability and greendevelopment.Hosting Research Institutes and Centers: NUM is a home to 3 National research centers and institutes and 17 universityinitiatedresearch institutes and centers.Contact:Main building, Ikh surguuliin gudamj -1, Baga Toiruu, Sukhbaatar District,P.O.Box 46/120, Ulaanbaatar 14201, MongoliaTel: 976-11-320159, 77307730 (ext: 1137; 1138)Fax: 976-11-322508Division of Research and InnovationEmail: research@num.edu.mnTechnology Transfer OfficeEmail: tto@num.edu.mn

Our facultymembers are committed to excellence, providing our undergraduate and graduate studentswith the skills and knowledge they need to contribute to sustainable future development.Since 2003, we have been publishing “Mongolian Journal of Biological Sciences,” Mongolia’sfirst internationally peer reviewed journal, published in English, and registered in widely knownscientific journal database of “Web of Knowledge.”National University of Mongolia 19

Our studies focus on all levels of biological organization, which we can divide into thefollowing main areas of research:Cellular and molecular biology and biotechnologyPhysiology and organismal biology of plants and animals; Biophysics of photosynthesis;Bioinformatics (structural analysis of protein structure); CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism)plants in Mongolia; Biochemistry, microbiology and biotechnological applications oftraditional dairy products; Enzyme research; Biochemistry and biotechnology of medicinalplants; Molecular cell biophysics; Eukaryotic genome research, Gene and genome bank ofMongolian species.Biodiversity, ecology and evolutionary biologyMongolian pastoral livestock husbandry and its ecological and evolutionary characteristicsand consequences; Research and conservation of biological diversity of Mongolia(invertebrates, vertebrates, plants, fungi, microorganisms, aquatic and forest resources);Population, evolutionary genetics and metagenomics; Disease ecology; Effects of climatechange and long term monitoring of ecosystems and ecosystem functioning; Land andecosystem degradation, restoration and reforestation.Priority research area: Ecology and biodiversity research by the Department of EcologyIn addition to traditional natural history studies on fauna and flora of Mongolia, membersof the Department of Ecology are running some groundbreaking research programs incollaboration with international scientists. We only highlight two research programs activelybeing pursued by our ecologists, as part of International Long Term Ecological Research(ILTER) Network. With scientists of University of Pennsylvania, we are implementinga six-year project entitled “Ecological and evolutionary effects of climate change andanthropogenic influences in Mongolia,” funded by the NSF (USA) within its Partnership inInternational Research and Education Program.Mongolia has already experienced more rapid rates of warming than the global average,which has profound ecological and evolutionary implications in sustainable naturalresources management in Mongolia. As a result of this project, collaborative scientificpapers detailing the effects of topography, experimental warming and livestock grazing onecosystem functioning in the Lake Hovsgol area have already been published in high-impactprofessional journals. Studying some plant species, we found that there was a decrease inleaf 15N with increasing elevation; that fact, together with measures of soil 15N suggestsgreater N processing at the moister, more productive, lower elevation, and more N fixation atthe upper elevation. Moreover, using open-top passive warming chambers (OTC) for climatemanipulation, we show that OTCs reduced flower production and delayed peak floweringin graminoids in lower slopes, but affected only forbs on the upper slopes, of landscapescalevariation in climate change studies. It was also found that vegetation loss and climatemanipulation reduced soil moisture, the important driver in ecosystem productivity, andthat the monthly or seasonal averages of soil moisture provided poor information about theinterplay among factors affecting the soil moisture regime in this system.The second area of research we highlight is with scientists in Korea on “Metagenomicanalysis of soil communities in diverse habitat types of Mongolia.” currently funded by TWAS.We have described soil bacterial communities from a wide range of habitats under differentvegetation types and edaphic conditions of Mongolia. We use a modern culture-independentmetagenomic approach for extracting 16S rRNA from soils and a next-generationpyrosequencing technique. We found several potentially novel, phylogenetically distinctbacterial phyla. Importantly, we determined the relationship between bacterial communitycomposition and variety of environmental variables, such as vegetation type, soil texture, pH,salinity, moisture content, and humus content, contributing to a better understanding of thestructure of soil-borne bacterial communities and their functioning in the ecosystem. Finally,we emphasize that we are currently participating in a global-scale meta-experiment on thespecies richness-productivity relationship.20Priority research area: Medicinal Natural Products and Plant BiotechnologyThe aim of the research work conducted in the T.Dash Memorial Laboratory of BioorganicChemistry and Pharmacognosy is to do systematic in vitro screening on the library ofMongolian plant extracts for their biological activities, activity-guided isolation of targetcompounds and structure determination of them. Also we have close collaboration withother researchers on chemical modification of isolated active compounds to improve theirpharmacological activity and obtain them by semi- and total synthesis to introduce potentialresults into industry as dietary products, functional foods and drugs. Quality evaluationof Mongolian traditional crude drugs is also part of our research interest. We published

Research ActivitiesOur School works on many different aspects of traditional research. Professors do bothtraining and research on comparative textological studies. They translate manuscripts inTibetan and Manchurian into Mongolian, classify them by their content, type and preparecommentaries in addition to this is conducting Mongolian historical studies.Also we study traditional and innovative issues on style and intangible culture of Mongolianfolklore. Modern literature is also studied.Another focus is the use of specific methods to teach Mongolian language and literatureas a subject at secondary school level, and compiling the relevant textbooks. Another partof our teaching and research focuses on the acquisition of education and knowledge of theMongolian language and culture by foreign students.On the foundation of these traditional studies, topics such as Mongolian mythology andsymbolism; intangible cultural meanings; traditional and innovative characteristics ofMongolian folk art; modern methodological issues of Mongolian literature; semanticresearch on the Mongolian language group; and the origin and semantic function of fixedword combination all need to be scientifically explained. These topics are at the junctionof humanitarian sciences such as linguistics, psychology, anthropology, ethnology, culturalstudies and cognitive theory.Moreover, different writing systems of the Mongolian script need to be examined; theorthography of both the Mongolian script and the Cyrillic script are currently being convertedto a computerized program that will mutually exchange both scripts. In terms of theory andpractice, this is a new research area for us although urgent issues still need to be addressed.Projects and ProgramsThe formation of various writing systems of the Mongolian script; comparative researchon the orthography of the Mongolian script and Cyrillic script; and the computerization of aconversion program for texts in both scripts, in order to study the Mongolian script in greaterdetail.An investigation of how the material and spiritual cultures, worldviewor conception, and typesof thinking of the Mongols are focused on idioms, comparing them to different cultures andlanguage speakers in the sphere of basic research on comparative analysis of idioms.A basic study of the traditions and innovations of Mongolian alternative medicine, based onsome medical sources written in Tibetan and Mongolian, and the knowledge or experienceof the doctors who practice alternative medicine.A specialized study comparing the development of Mongolian myth and symbolism, basedon the archetypal thinking of humanity; a comparison of the languages and dialects ofMongolians in-country and abroad; as well as an investigation of the interrelation or evolutionof the Mongolian family of languages.Contact:Building №2, Sukhbaatar District,P.O.Box 46/337, Ulaanbaatar-14201, MongoliaTel/Fax: 976-11-325435E-mail: mongolkhel@num.edu.mnhttp://smlc.num.edu.mnNational University of Mongolia 23
