On November 23rd-26th, as part of our SCP project arrangement, Dr Parakrama Karunaratne (Dr Karu) of University of Peradeniya in Sri Lanka visited GIG. We had very good discussion about the SCP development in Sri Lanka. Dr Karu introduced the CKDu issue and we agreed that the following SCP activities in Sri Lanka may put SKDu issue as the main focus, to enhance potential impact of the Programme. Dr Karu was also invited to serve as a steering committee member of the SCP.
On Nov 15th, Professor Habib of University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, visited us again, though this time his trip was supported by Dr Li Xue of Hexin Spectrometer Co. He brought his student, Ms Nigar to GIG for Collaboration. Nigar will be with us for 3 months this time.
