Ahsan Habib from University of Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Mr. Simion Kipkorir Bartilol from University of Nairobi, Kenya. We also specifically invited Prof. Hanping Zhuang, President and CEO of Jireh Technology of China, and Miss Ming Liu, Chief Representative of Technology and Innovation at the British Consulate-General Guangzhou. The workshop mainly consists of five sessions including welcome and background introduction by Gan, participants’ introductions, roundtable discussions, group discussions and lab tour. The workshop provides a good opportunity to meet and discuss deeply with each SCP partner, thus leading an extension of the international research network on toxic chemicals from East South Asia to South Asia and East Africa.

2018-02-05 Gan Zhang

On 28^th-31^stJan 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.
