NRCC launches undergraduate research campaign
The Nepal Research and Collaboration Center (NRCC) has unveiled an initiative aimed at fostering research skills among undergraduate students in Nepal. Dubbed the ‘Nepalese in Research Campaign: 3E—Encouraging, Educating, Empowering’, this program, according to the organizer, is the first of its kind in the country, marking a significant shift from traditional textbook-based learning to hands-on research experiences.
The NRCC emphasizes that the campaign’s primary goal is to inspire and equip students with the necessary skills for effective research. “It targets undergraduates from all engineering disciplines, including Civil, Electrical, Electronics, Architecture, Computer, and Mechanical Engineering,” said the organizer.
Themed ‘Re-Engineering Knowledge: From Textbooks to Research,’ the campaign will feature a series of workshops and presentations. Senior researchers will provide guidance on identifying research topics, conducting practical research, and publishing findings. Additionally, the campaign will offer students the opportunity to connect with mentors and peers in person, fostering a collaborative research environment.
The four main agendas of the campaign, as per the organizer, are: develop interdisciplinary research through student connections; connect Nepalese students with global research opportunities; form diverse student groups across engineering disciplines; and provide mentorship from research to publication and beyond. By shifting the focus from theoretical learning to practical application, the NRCC aims to cultivate a new generation of skilled researchers in Nepal, ready to contribute to global scientific advancements.
