  1. Stimulating Young Scientists for Quality Research in South Asia Naima Ansar Khan Research Officer Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies (BCAS)

  2. Topics to be Discussed • Rationale of this topic • Problems and challenges of quality research in South Asia • Support to young scientists from IFS • BCAS and IFS collaborative actions for quality research: A successful Case study • Weakness and opportunities of quality research

  3. Problems and challenges of quality research in South Asia • A big community of scientists in South Asia • However there exist a lacking in scientific contribution from young generation • Lack of resources, guidance and initiative

  4. Supports to young scientists from IFS • IFS circulate their call for proposals twice a year • Scientific body scrutinize proposals and provide awards • Capacity building supports from IFS • Providing funds for scientific research • Providing training to acquire scientific grants and follow up activities like manuscript preparation etc

  5. BCAS and IFS collaborative actions for quality research BCAS in association with IFS organized both national and international hands on training on: Development ofScientific Methodology Development of Grant Applications for scientific research Development of Scientific Manuscripts for Publication

  6. Geographical location of project implemented area Map Legend Project implemented region among the South and South East Asia Project implemented Countries among South Asia Coordinator of South Asia

  10. Example of a successful case of IFS grant Title: Analysis of geo-morphological structure at lower Bakkhali river, Cox's Bazar as a means to evolve at suitable option for sustainable water management (SWM) Application of GIS and RS techniques including Crop-Wat, DSSAT and HEC-RAS model Objectives: • To investigate the geo-morphological changes of lower Bakkhali river following the establishment of rubber dam • To develop a sustainable water utilization matrix considering potential water requirement for agricultural irrigation utilizing multi-criteria analysis.

  11. Example of one successful case Data needs For detecting changes: Satellite images Hydrological parameters For developing sustainable water utilizing matrix: Land-use change data Both weather and climatic data Soil parameters Crop parameters Crop calendar etc over the period of 12 years

  12. Situation in 1996 Situation in 2003 Change detection in the Downstream of Bakkhali river over the period of 12 years Situation in 2008 Example of one successful case A few results

  13. Example of one successful case

  14. Example of one successful case A few results

  15. Example of one successful case Vegetation cover 1996 A few results Vegetation cover 2008 Vegetation cover 2003 Vegetation cover change

  16. Weakness and opportunities Weakness: • Continuity of IFS program • Institutional coverage Opportunities: • Potential researchers who can be trained • Potential institutions • Issues to be addressed

  17. Thank You Very Much
