The Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) will soon hold a national-level expo to provide a platform to graduate students, showcasing their research-based projects.

It will give them an opportunity to develop their own small-scale entrepreneurship, this was stated by the Vice Chancellor  Dr. Shahid Siddiqui while inaugurating a week-long workshop that was aimed at introducing microcontroller-based embedded system for domestic use.

The workshop, arranged by the University’s Department of Physics was being attended by research-scholars and the faculty’s members from various parts of the country. The expo will be organised in collaboration with Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry and other relevant institutions and it will act as a bridge between the students and the industrial sector for socio-economic development through innovative ideas.

While welcoming the workshop’s participants, Dr. Shahid Siddiqui hoped they will take full benefit of the opportunity, in developing their skill and expertise in order to serve the society.
