GRADUATE CONFERENCE 2023

Welcome to the 9^th Graduate Conference!

Background

It is uncontested that higher technical education prepares skilled human resources required for overall development for making our country, Nepal prosperous and our people happy. Nepalese society needs technical human resources and creative thinkers for understanding the changing social, political, cultural and economic sectors in better ways. In particular, younger people need to play a dynamic and creative role in sharing their ideas and findings with their peers and other groups within society. Graduates from Nepalese universities must engage among each other and approach to wider society for promoting the economic development, social welfare and environmental stewardship of the country.

In this line, Tribhuwan University- Institute of Science and Technology- Central Department of Environmental Science (TU-IOST-CDES), Resources Himalaya Foundation (RHF), and Institute for Social and Environmental Transition-Nepal (ISET-N) formed a consortium in 2015 and agreed to hold graduate conference of the universities in Nepal annually. The Government of Nepal- Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (GoN-MoEST) has generously patronized the initiative since 2018. This year, Far Western University (FWU) is going to host the 9^th Graduate Conference on Environment and Sustainable Development (GCESD) on 6-7^th April, 2023. This conference aims to bring together the graduates and undergraduates to present their research and review the work of each other. The organizers intend to promote the conference as a Himalayan Knowledge Conclave that will be organized every year. The Government of Nepal and other organizations working in the field of environment and sustainable development have supported the conference. The conference aims to support participants to develop leadership skills and expects that they will equally participate in the proceedings. The conference will also provide an opportunity for networking among thematic group members and experts nationwide.
