7th National Conference on Science and Technology

Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) was established in 1982 as an autonomous apex body of Nepal. It is mandated to work in the advancement of science and technology for all-round development of the nation. NAST is also entrusted with providing independent advice to the country on matters related to Science and Technology (S&T). Over the years, NAST has successfully completed outstanding research and science promotion projects, and played a crucial role in providing objective, science-based advice on critical issues affecting the nation. As a part of objectives, the Academy is organizing the Seventh National Conference on Science and Technology to provide a milieu of sharing the progress made in science and technology.

NAST organized the first S&T conference in 1988. Since then, conferences have been held in every four years. Each conference is devoted to a different area of contemporary issues of science and technology and features numerous symposia and concurrent sessions. Past conferences have explored a variety of themes to inform decision makers and other stakeholders about the linkages between science and technology and socio-economic development of the country. The Seventh National Conference on Science and Technology will devote to Science, Technology and Innovation for Nepal’s Graduation to Developing Country Status.
