A platform for young scientists to exchange ideas

A platform for young scientists to exchange ideas


Islamabad
National Academy of Young Scientists (NAYS) is working like a torchbearer in mobilising young scientists and scholars at a platform by providing them an environment, where they can collaborate and exchange their fruitful innovative ideas.
It is like a platform to share information in multi- disciplinary science domains with an advisor council that includes crew of highly qualified professors for their guidance.
NAYS is a combined platform for both local scientists (researchers/professionals) and overseas Pakistani scholars; their collaboration and knowledge sharing can bring Pakistan parallel to international standards.
Talking to this agency, NAYS President Aftab Ahmed Khan said it is a chronological fact that ‘science and technology’ has revolutionised the mode of living of mankind since its emergence. “It has taken humans from dark caves of ignorance and bewilderment to the resplendent and luminous horizons where skyscrapers are his astonishing creations and space race is his saga,” he added.
He said science has developed vigorously over a couple of last centuries as every developed and future conscious country eyes for a better and improved science and technology infrastructure to meet the needs of time efficiently and progressively. Thus, to keep updated with latest discoveries, inventions and trends regarding research; many countries including India, China, and Malaysia are seriously working for the advancement of S&T by setting up science and technology organisations.
Aftab Ahmed said that in Pakistan, there exist a bunch of private as well as public sector organisations functioning for their respective cause, but unfortunately there are very few of them which are working in above mentioned area and a lot of work still has to be done in that particular field.
Therefore, to fill that massive vacuum, a team of highly professional, learned and dedicated researchers, professionals, post doctorate Scientists, academicians and scholars from various reputed universities and industries all around Pakistan laid the foundation for a truly distinctive scientific organisation with a pure academic motive namely NAYS, he elaborated.
He said this science body is currently headed by Dr. Anwar Nasim (Advisor Comstech), who is the Patron of NAYS. Moreover, the role of established overseas Pakistani scientists (professionals/ researchers) and scholars in NAYS is indispensable he said, adding they are not only part of NAYS, but also amongst executives of it. Moreover, NAYS firmly believes that engaging young scientists and utilizing their capabilities by better orientation, improvisation and execution would definitely bring a remarkable boom of science and technology in Pakistan, Aftab Ahmed elaborated.
He mentioned that NAYS is destined to promote the research culture in Pakistan by killing the huge gap between academia and industry and bringing them close to each other. Thus, the close interaction of inter academia as well as collaboration with young local scientists and Pakistani researchers conducting their research in foreign countries will be helpful in spreading awareness. It will also help in moulding public’s aptitude towards science, but also beneficial in effective translation of research into viable implementations and yielding of useful products, he concluded.
