Research Collaboration with Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) for Agricultural Research and Policy Input
DIU has established a significant research partnership with BARI through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This collaboration is centered on advancing agricultural research, agro-policy, technology transfer, and fostering innovation in farming practices. The goal of this partnership is to facilitate the development and application of sustainable agricultural technologies. The MoU outlines joint initiatives such as hosting agricultural fairs and seminars and providing agro-policy inputs to the government, where students and faculty can engage with experts from BARI, gaining practical insights into modern farming equipment and methodologies. This collaboration also promotes knowledge exchange and supports research endeavors that contribute to agricultural sustainability and innovation.
Collaboration with GLTS for Research on Combating Climate Change
Daffodil International University (DIU) and the Global Law Thinkers Society (GLTS) have formed a strategic partnership aimed at addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges: climate change, youth leadership, and the advancement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This collaboration, which focuses on pivotal areas such as climate finance, climate justice, and loss and damage, marks a significant step toward fostering global cooperation and youth-driven action. DIU and GLTS are also preparing to participate in major international climate platforms, including COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. This partnership is set to amplify youth leadership on climate change through joint research initiatives, workshops, training, and active participation in both national and international climate forums. A key focus will be their coordinated efforts at UNFCCC COP & SB Conferences, where they will advocate for actionable policies and concrete measures addressing the climate crisis. It will also support broader SDG initiatives, promoting environmental sustainability, peace, justice, and global education.
Collaboration with Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC)
Daffodil International University (DIU) and Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) signed an MoU to strengthen ICT-based training and skill development in Bangladesh. This partnership will provide students and BCC officers with professional training, research opportunities, workshops, and more—gearing them up for local and global job markets and preparing them for the challenges of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Here’s to a future of growth, innovation, and skilled workforce.
Engagement with Police Staff College
DIU is exploring a unique collaboration with the Police Staff College in Bangladesh. This potential partnership involves working with Dr. Mohammad Shahjahan, Additional Deputy Inspector General of Police and Director of Research and Publication at the college. The discussions have focused on integrating public health research into law enforcement practices, aiming to develop strategies that benefit both community health and public safety. By merging expertise in public health with the operational insights of law enforcement, this collaboration seeks to address health and safety issues comprehensively, thereby promoting a healthier and safer community environment.
Funded Project on Solar Assessment of All Government Universities
The EEE Department of DIU is currently running several funded projects from organizations such as the European Climate Foundation, AA Bangladesh, and TARA Climate, focusing on the solar potential assessment of 48 government universities. As the renewable energy sector gains global momentum, these initiatives are at the forefront of advancing sustainable energy solutions, including innovative solar technologies, energy storage systems, and policy development. The projects contribute to reducing carbon emissions, combating climate change, and enhancing energy security and resilience. By fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and government, they promote a multidisciplinary approach to sustainable energy solutions. Additionally, these projects offer valuable opportunities for students and researchers to engage in hands-on learning and contribute to real-world applications, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and 13 (Climate Action).
