The workshop is an annual activity organized by Environmental and Food Engineering Faculty to create a playground for studying and scientific research, thereby discovering and fostering scientific research skills of students. This is also an opportunity for the Faculty to summarize, evaluate and appreciate the achievements in scientific research activities of students in the academic year 2019–2020.
Workshop on Student Science Research 2020 attracts a lot of quality research papers
For that reason, this year program has received a great attention from our lecturers and the enthusiastic participation of students with many quality and practical reports, and in diverse range of topics.
Through the processes of assessment, the Board of judges selected 77 most outstanding research papers to attend the workshop. In particular, there are 16 projects conducted by students majoring in Chemical Engineering & Technology, 29 projects by students of Food Technology and 32 projects of students majoring in Natural Resource and Environmental Management. Accordingly, each topic has to be demonstrated by poster entirely in English, or presented via a 45-60 seconds video in front of the Evaluation Committee combining high qualified lecturers and representatives of relevant enterprises.
The organizers award Consolation prizes for students with the excellent presentations
