He said the poster exhibitions didn`t only increase the presentation skills ofresearchers but also provided them a chance to discuss the scope of their research with eminent national and foreign scientists.

He said that Pakistani students had a great potential and they were doing quality research which was on a par with international standards.

He laid a stress on mutual collaboration between research and development organisations, departments and universities, adding that it was not possible for a single department to have all necessary equipment and research facilities.
