GET READY WITH YOUR NOVEL IDEAS – FICS 2021 IS HERE

FICS, since its first edition a few years back, has been keeping with the legacy of being the home for the evolvement of the work being done on the SDGs within NUST. FICS as the years have gone by has become even more inclusive and competitive. This does not only underscore the quantitative as well as qualitative growth of the programme, but also bear testimony to the growing cooperation between cross-functional disciplines. FICS projects, have also been getting headlines, both nationally and internationally, for their novelty and impeccability. There are a number of success stories, which have emanated from FICS and surmounted national and international competitions, thus adding numerous feathers to NUST’s cap.

After suffering from the pandemic, FICS is back with a hope to bring more novel ideas this year.

Keeping the strategic framework of SDGs as the guiding force for FICS, we at NUST hope that FICS and its outcomes, in the form of high-social-impact technological products and services, will eventually contribute to socioeconomic development at a national level, by bringing together the four important elements of the quadruple helix model, namely Academia, Industry, Government, and Society.

FICS ’21 is planned to begin in September this year.
