Fourth Int’l Conference on Global Expertise & Commitment for a Prosperous Nepal

Invitation and Conference Aims

The Nepalese Student Association (NeSA-NMSU) invites you to participate in the 4th international conference entitled “Global Expertise & Commitment for a Prosperous Nepal.” Authors are highly encouraged to submit abstracts from different backgrounds and expertise gained abroad. Specifically, we welcome authors to submit topics that address challenges and outcomes associated with academia and professional life that contribute to the further advancement of Nepal.

More than ever, we are immersed in an array of professional and academic fields throughout the world. Our diverse and dynamic backgrounds and expertise play an essential role in the revitalization of our motherland. Our aims extend to incorporate foreign ideas, infrastructure, culture, and philosophy into our homeland, so that Nepal may emerge as a forerunner in technology and influence. Thus, it is vital that we strive to involve our foreign co-workers, friends, peers, and mentors in contributing to our cause. Additionally, the conference will focus on overcoming obstacles associated with academic and professional life for the purpose of achieving success. Collectively, we would like to mold our endeavors into novel strategies that can be implemented for the development and betterment of Nepal. We hope that this conference will enlighten us, so that we may be continually reminded that we are all in a position to make a positive impact in Nepal.
