Bangladesh has moved one major step closer towards the advanced science and technology, particularly in the field of research of quantum and fundamental physics, by signing an ‘International Cooperation Agreement’ with CERN in Geneva.
Bangladesh Ambassador and Permanent Representative in Geneva M Shameem Ahsan signed the instrument of cooperation on behalf of Bangladesh with Director General of CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) Dr Rolf Heuer on Friday.
The CERN Director General remembered his recent successful visit to Bangladesh and praised the efforts of Bangladesh government for taking the benefits of science and technology to the doorstep of people.
He assured CERN support in this regard and hoped the teachers, students and researchers of Bangladesh would be immensely benefited from this formal cooperation.
For the countries like Bangladesh, CERN provides a unique opportunity for the much-needed technology transfer, education and training for researchers, scholars, academics and students.
Bangladesh will be greatly benefited from this cooperation with CERN, especially the universities, institutes, organisations, academics, professionals, said a Foreign Ministry media release.
CERN will conduct a high-level short school on advanced particle and quantum physics at the Dhaka University from December 15 to 18.
