There is a need to organise international training workshops on modern research techniques regularly at the universities as these would provide research scholars with more chances of interaction with specialists and foreign experts.
Quaid-e-Azam University Vice Chancellor Dr Masoom Yasinzai on Monday said this while addressing the inaugural ceremony of a five-day international training workshop on “Modern Research Techniques in Ecology” here.
Pakistan Museum of Natural History (PMNH), Pakistan Science Foundation, in collaboration with Department of Animal Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam University (QAU) Islamabad, and Snow Leopard Foundation Pakistan, organised the workshop to build capacity of the participants in designing ecological studies and analysis of simple to complex ecological data and develop different statistical models. The VC congratulated the organisers for arranging workshop on such an important subject. He said ecology was an interesting field as collection of data and analysing it was a fun. He said Pakistan is a peaceful country, not as depicted by some western TV channels.
