"During my professional training at NTNU, I learned an understanding of how research-based knowledge is fundamental for a society to prosper. The expertise I obtained from NTNU is used to build strategies and activities that can be practiced in a young institution like KU [Kathmandu University]. This is also vital for my country´s development"
