The 49th International Nathiagali Summer College (INSC) on Physics and Contemporary Needs was opened on Monday by Federal Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives, Professor Ahsan Iqbal. This event marked a significant turning point in the government’s efforts to support scientific research collaboration internationally and to promote excellence in emerging technologies.
Since 1976, the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) has held an annual summer college with the goal of distributing and exchanging scientific knowledge within the scientific community.
Speaking on the occasion, the minister stated that INSCs have created a history of promoting scientific endeavours, especially in physics, which is frequently referred to as the “bedrock of modern science.”
He stated, “Physics is fundamental to our comprehension of the natural world and serves as the basis for many technological developments.”
