Message From President
First of all, my very sincere gratitude to the Fellows of the Pakistan Academy of Sciences (PAS) for electing me as President of the Academy for the term 2024-2026. I would like to acknowledge and appreciate the hard work of all my predecessors in streamlining the scientific program of the Academy during their respective terms for uplifting the scientific outputs and status of the Academy among the arena of other similar science academies world-wide. Since its inception in 1953, the Pakistan Academy of Sciences has been playing a pivotal role in promoting innovation in scientific, academic, and technological output for socio-economic development in the country and the Academy needs to make this effort a sustainable one. Presently, the Academy has on its roll some 83 Pakistani Fellows, 37 Foreign Fellows, and 27 Pakistan national Members. Their achievements are well recognized by the Government of Pakistan in terms of 3 Nishan-i-Imtiaz, 14 Hilal-i-Imtiaz, and 34 Sitara-i-Imtiaz apart from many Pride of Performance and Tamgha-i-Imtiaz decorated scientists. The achievements of PAS are well narrated on the website of the Academy (www.paspk.org). To date, PAS has signed MoUs with over 20 Academies of Science, worldwide. Some of these MoUs are quite productive such as the MoU with Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS), and the Islamic World Academy of Sciences (IAS). Presently, the Academy is working to sign the MoUs with Tajikistan and Belarus through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Government of Pakistan. Under the ongoing PSDP Project awarded by Planning Commission of Pakistan in March 2020, the Academy has created state of the art facilities at its Secretariat including Video-Conferencing Facility Rooms, Scientific Advice to Government Unit (Policy Unit) to assist the government stakeholders (Ministries) for compilation, review, and upgradation of national policies by the Fellows of the Academy. Through this project, the Academy has organized several national & international science conferences and awarded grants for research, travel, and conference participation and revision of curricula of various science subjects. Under the present economic situation in the country, the newly elected PAS Council has a role to play for the socio-economic uplift of the country whereby, the Council with the support of talent pool of the Academy may foster efforts to invest in research, education, and regional collaboration for sustainability, resilience, and human well-being in the country.
