Chairman Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) Raja Ali Raza Anwar inaugurated the 48th International Nathiagali Summer College (INSC) on Physics and Contemporary Needs at National Center for Physics (NCP) Quaid-e-Azam University on Monday.
The idea of holding the International Nathiagali Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs came from the distinguished Nobel Laureate, Professor Abdus Salam who emphasized the vital need of communication for transferring and sharing scientific knowledge among the scientific community.
INSC helps scientists to share knowledge and to learn from each other’s experiences. PAEC has been regularly organizing the college every year since 1976. The venue of the college is the famous tourist spot of Nathiagali, which attracts a large number of participants from across the world.
This unique opportunity enables young scientists hailing from developing countries to establish and renew connections with globally renowned scientists. Throughout its history, the INSC has attracted approximately 1,050 distinguished scientists and speakers, including 08 Nobel Laureates, from renowned universities, research centers, and industries in developed nations.
These eminent individuals have delivered lectures at the INSC, sharing their valuable knowledge and insights. Their audience has comprised over 1,000 foreign scientists hailing from more than 75 developing countries, along with approximately 11,500 scientists from Pakistani research and development institutes and universities.
