Message from Director

Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University (IoE/TU) is offering its academic programs in most of the engineering disciplines through five constituent campuses and 10 affiliated colleges, whereas offering research for development services through 12 research centers. Center for Applied Research and Development (CARD), established on 15th April 1994 as the first research center of IoE/TU, thrives to take a lead in strengthening research for development activities at IoE/TU and subsequent impact on policy and practice.

CARD was established initially as a part of a collaborative program between IoE/TU and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the University of Trondheim through funds made available by the Norwegian Universities Committee for Development Research and Education (NUFU). Over the last three decades, CARD has forged partnerships with a range of institutions across the globe. CARD capitalizes on a wide range of multidisciplinary in-house expertise and capabilities of the IOE/TU and provides services to the government and other stakeholders.

We are committed to strengthen existing partnerships founded on the MOU of IoE/TU with over 200 institutions, extend partnership and service to a wide range of partners both within and outside the country, and facilitate for making an impact on both policy and practice by means of fundamental and applied research. We are keen to explore all possible collaboration opportunities in the areas of mutual interest that support joint research and publishing, exchange of students and faculty members, and contribute to both science and community of practice.

Prof. Dr. Vishnu Prasad Pandey

"Our society needs more heroes who are scientists, researchers and engineers. We need to celebrate and reward the people who cure diseases, expand our understanding of humanity and work to improve people's lives."
