Financial cuts in HEC budget concerns IIU

IIU, QAU concerned over recent financial cuts President of International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) and Vice Chancellor of Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) on Wednesday showed grave concern over recent financial cuts in the annual grant to the universities. At the 4th International Conference on Fluid Dynamics both of them were of the view that the financial cuts would have very adverse effects on the functioning and R&D activities of the universities and hoped that the government would reconsider its decision in this regard. While speaking on the occasion IIUI President Dr. Anwaar Siddique welcomed the dignitaries and delegates to the IIU for exchange of research contributions and promised to do every thing possible to promote this collaboration. QAU Vice Chancellor Masoom Yasinzai in his remarks appreciated the collaboration between the two universities in organising the conference and assured full support to promote research in all disciplines through mutual collaboration. Some 38 reputed mathematicians from Pakistan and abroad would present their latest research work on current issues related to Mathematical Modelling. The research papers would focus on various critical applied areas such as oil exploration process, energy extraction from geothermal regions, filtration process, blood circulation and drug permeation through human skin. The researchers would also deliberate over advancement in the construction of analytical solutions to the nonlinear differential systems in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid dynamics, rotating and magneto hydrodynamic regimes, flow analysis, phenomena of geophysical and Cosmical Fluid Dynamics.
