Basic and Applied

Research
What is the history behind the development of
modern technologies?
It is mostly based on basic scientific facts.
From simple
mathematical
computing
formulas, to
development of
computer
algorithm that
automates
processes
This has led
to the
automation
of different
processes in
our daily life.
What makes applied research different
from basic research?
Basic and Applied Research

Remember

It is important to take note that both basic and

applied research are highly dependent on one
another.

Importance of Basic and Applied Research

Important applied
researches
started from basic
research
● Basic research is a type of research that is mainly
driven by a scientist's curiosity and scientific interest to
answer scientific questions that are mostly observed
in our surroundings.
● Applied research is a type of research that was
conceptualized to solve practical real-life situations that
we face in modern society.
● Basic research is important in providing a general
foundation for applied science.

● In many cases, basic work drives the spinning off of

applied research in different fields.

● Utilizing basic research to fuel and improve applied

research can be used to solve some of society’s problems.
