| Introduction |
There is an acute shortage of sophisticated scientific equipment in most universities and research laboratories of the country which acts as an impediment to the development of scientific research in Pakistan. Due to the high cost of acquiring and maintaining modern tools of research, Higher Education Commission has initiated a unique program of sharing the scientific instrumentation facilities which would enable the scientific community to have access to sophisticated equipment while providing a source of funding to those institutions which make their instruments available. |
| Objectives |
- Provide spectroscopic, analytical, chromatographic and other services to researchers working in different public sector universities on cost plus basis, which will be paid by the Higher Education Commission.
- Through this program the institutions with instrumentation facilities will get financial resources to optimally utilize their instruments.
- The scientists of Pakistan will have access to available facilities within the country, which will promote research collaboration and save foreign exchange, which is otherwise, required.
| |
| Eligibility Criteria |
The faculty members & postgraduate researchers working in public sector universities / R&D Organizations in Pakistan can apply for free access to scientific instruments.
|
| How to Apply |
The researchers/scientists seeking analytical services have to approach the service providing institution directly for lab. tests etc on the requisit form.
