Chairman of Bangladesh Accreditation Council Professor Mesbahuddin Ahmed said,
Sustainable development is the much hyped issue in the world today. It is more important for developing countries like Bangladesh. Because our natural resources are insufficient compared to demand. Our universities and researchers have to work in these fields for a beautiful future generation. Bangladesh has great potential in blue-economy. Through research, we will be able to contribute directly to the progress of our country.”
He said these while addressing as a chief guest at the opening ceremony of the international conference titled '5th International Conference on Physics for Sustainable Development & Technology; ICPSDT-2023'. CUET Vice Chancellor Professor Dr. Mohammad Rafiqul Alam was the guest of honour in the event. Dean of Engineering and Technology Faculty Prof. Dr. Sunil Dhar was the special guest.
The program was presided over by Conference Chair and Head of Department of Physics Professor Dr. Swapan Kumar Roy. Welcome speech was given by Conference Secretary and Professor of Physics Department Dr. Md. Ashraf Ali. The program was conducted by Professor of Physics Department: Animesh Chakraborty. This year's theme of the conference is 'Physics Research for Emerging Future'.
The need for physics to understand the behaviour of the Earth is undeniable, CUET VC said. The role of physics in sustainable development is also important. Engineers are not complete without physics. From such international conferences, our teachers and students get an idea about the latest advancements in science and research of different countries and their creative thinking, as well as future planning and exchange of information. We are now moving towards building Smart Bangladesh from Digital Bangladesh. We hope that through the ideas and knowledge gained from this conference, it will play a role in building a smart Bangladesh.
India's Prof. Dr. Tanushree Saha Dasgupta and Prof. Dr. Sushant Lahiri were keynote speakers in two separate key-note sessions on the first day of the two-day conference. Apart from this, 8 technical sessions will be discussed on Computational Physics, Nuclear Physics, Materials Science, Atmospheric Physics and Nano Physics etc. In the conference, 4 key-note speeches, 14 invited speeches and 112 papers were presented by researchers in 14 technical sessions and 57 papers were presented in 1 poster session. In this conference, apart from Bangladesh, hundreds of physics teachers, researchers, scientists, engineers, professionals and entrepreneurs from different countries including UK, Australia, South Korea, France, Turkey, India, Japan have met.
