Share this story:

In 2018 Innovation and Commercialization Office of NUST (ICON) initiated NUST Faculty Placement Program which is the first such program for any Pakistani university to place its selected researchers in the industry.

Prime objective of this program is to provide faculty an opportunity to be enlightened with industrial environments enabling them to initiate industry-related research, undertake processes improvement as well as innovative work and provide technical support in a multidisciplinary environment. Moreover, it provides substantial benefits to the industry as the faculty is able to provide them with solutions of the up-most challenges faced by them. It provides them with the opportunity of R&D requests and development as well.

So far, ICON has been able to secure 100+ faculty member placements in well renowned industries across Pakistan for a period of 1-2 weeks in the months of July & August. As a result, faculty members are successful in highlighting the strengths of NUST to the industry and initiated multiple new R&D projects of our students. Moreover, the program has enabled NUST to secure internships/ job positions along with potential of professional trainings to be conducted by experts of NUST.

Faculty placements are facilitated by CAC during the summer break and throughout the academic year, depending on the availability of both faculty and industry partners. These placements, requested by industry, can range from a few days to several weeks and are designed to provide practical exposure and foster collaborative engagement.
