Organized in conjunction with the Career Fair, the Research Exhibition
provides an opportunity to students to communicate their research
findings in a simulated conference environment. Holding it along with
the Career Fair helps them connect with potential employers and the
outside world.
Featured at the AIT Conference Center on 2 November 2016 were a wide
range of posters covering diverse topics ranging from floods in
Pakistan to effect of climate on threatened water birds. One poster
reflected the vulnerability of Internally Displaced Persons in Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan, while another provided a new perspective on
industries and companies for the future.
