They will talk about how to address problems such as insufficient funding and poor infrastructure while also designing improved policy for research.
The NRCC has not only established itself as a research community in Nepal, but it has also confirmed its official registration in 2022 along with organized monthly Research Talks and STEM campaigns ever since its establishment in 2019 to promote research in Nepal. This allows students, researchers and various members of the community contribute to forming a stronger research culture in the country.
