Camp Organized by NCNST-China

The National Centre for Nano Science and Technology (NCNST), Beijing, China is organizing an International Summer Camp for Nanotechnology from. The referenced Summer Camp is scheduled to begin on September 2, and conclude on September 12. 2015. NCNST China has extended an invitation to PINSAT to send a select group of its students to attend the Summer Camp. NCNST has undertaken to bear all expenses relating to boarding, lodging, and other local expenses. The cost on Islamabad–Beijing return airfare will however been borne by the students themselves. Preston University, in fact, has sponsored half of the travel expenses of the students.
