Signing of MoA between GIGCAS and University of Dhaka, Bangladesh

On 28th-31st Jan of 2018, Prof. Gan Zhang, Dr. Xin Liu and Manqing Wu were invited to visit Bangladesh for signing a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with University of Dhaka, to further strengthen collaboration in our ongoing project, Southern Contaminants Programme (SCP, 2017-2019). The MoA covers several areas including exchange of researchers, cooperation on scientific and educational activities, and sharing of academic resources. Professor Habib from Department of Chemistry made great effort to facilitate this cooperation. Many thanks to his enthusiastic hospitality, we met a lot of host friends and visited a heavily polluted river (Buringanga) and a dumping site (Demra). In fact, Prof. Habib and his group members have deployed 1 AAS and ~40 PAS across Bangladesh.
