In 2005, Higher Education Commission has launched an umbrella project titled “University-Industry Interaction” (UII), aims to establish a strong foundation of linkage between academia and industry of Pakistan.  The project has been designed after realizing a dire need to anchor and uplift the industrial sector by using the potential of our highly qualified and professional researchers of academia. Moreover, this interaction will provide researchers an opportunity to work in their own field of interest.  

In view of the above, it was felt necessary to develop a data base of Academic staff of Public Sector and following Private Sector Universities approved by Govt. of Pakistan for funding to be uploaded on HEC website.

• GIK Institute of Eng. & Technology, Topi
• Institute of Business Administration, Karachi
• National University of Computer & Emerging Sciences, Islamabad.
• Agha Khan University, Karachi
• Lahore University of Management Sciences, Lahore
• Foundation University, Islamabad.
• Ripah International University, Islamabad.
• National Textile University, Faisalabad.
• Indus Institute of Higher Education, Karachi

The purpose is to make industrial sector acquainted with the local experts of Pakistan and enable the industries to use our own indigenous potential for solving the production, research and management problems. The activity would definitely enhance the quality and quantity of the products of Pakistan which would consequently play a vital role in economical growth of the country.
