Academic events are significant for professional development of researchers and scholars. They serve as a source for guidance, exposure, knowledge sharing, developing linkages, and problem solving. Academic events provide opportunities for academicians to help understand the latest developments in their field and validate research findings, while creating opportunities for future academic collaborations. Such events are the cornerstone of the academic environment. To cultivate this environment, the Higher Education Commission has set up a special Research Travel Grant Fund for University faculty and scholars at Pakistani Universities. Under this program, an academician and student selected to present research work at a national or international academic event is eligible to get funding from HEC and the expenses will be reimbursed by the HEC after the event.​
