As the first science and technology-based university in Bangladesh, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) remains committed to produce highly skilled professionals capable of excelling both nationally and globally through research and innovations. The vision of SUST is to make it a leading university of excellence in Science and Technology with a strong national commitment and significant international impact. Despite the challenges of starting a world-class research program without a well-funded graduate school, the faculties at SUST are committed to fostering a vibrant research environment in the campus. With the view to keep faculties, researchers, and students eager in transformative research for developing solutions to addressing local and global challenges, SUST established the University Research Center in 2011. The SUST Research Center is dedicated to its vision and missions. Its efforts represent the university's continued progress towards becoming a leader in research and innovation, fostering new ideas, and making impactful contributions to both national and global communities. SUST has already been declared a research university, focusing on generating and disseminating knowledge through cutting-edge research in its state-of-the-art laboratories by maintaining a congenial academic and research-friendly environment. The university is committed to preparing enlightened and skilled professionals capable of meeting the challenges of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Furthermore, SUST has established strong local and international partnerships with leading academic institutions, research organizations, and industries. These collaborations strengthen the research capabilities and broaden its impact. In this relentless pursuit of knowledge, the SUST Research Center is committed to evolving its mandate and operations to promote critical thinking, drive innovation, and contribute to the global pool of scientific knowledge and technology. The vision is to continually push the boundaries of research excellence, ensuring that SUST remains at the forefront of academic and technological advancements.
