| History | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The National Centre for Physics (NCP) started its scientific activities on January 27, 1999 by holding a one day symposium on Frontiers of Fundamental Physics. NCP was inaugurated by Dr. Ishfaq Ahmad, Chairman, Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, on May 16, 2000. The Director General of CERN, Professor L. Maiani and distinguished members of his delegation, the Vice Chancellor of Quaid-i-Azam University, Dr. Tariq Saddiqui and other dignitaries, witnessed the inauguration. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Centre has however obtained its Charter from the Government of Pakistan in April 2004. Now it is an autonomous body funded by the Government of Pakistan. It would have its own building in July 2006 with resident facilities for short term, long term visitors and to various participants in its activities. Two advisory committees, namely | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
which have already been constituted, guide the scientific and academic proceedings of the Centre. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The first meeting of the NASPC was held on January 18, 2005. The vision and future programs of the NCP were discussed. The assistance of NASPC for appointments of physicists of the country as associates of the centre was emphasized. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The main objective of the Centre is to raise the standard of Physics at par with international norms of productivity and originality, and to act as an entity for acquisition, generation, transmission and dissemination of knowledge in frontiers of physics for Universities and Research and Development (R&D) organizations covering the following broad areas of physics: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
NCP hopes to break the isolation by offering Pakistani physicists an opportunity to work with world class scientists who are invited to lecture and also to participate in the Centre's research activities on a regular basis.
