Barishal University Research Society (BURS) is dedicated to cultivating a vibrant research culture among the students of Barishal University. Established on September 01, 2022, with the slogan “Research for Generating New Knowledge,” BURS aims to make research engaging and accessible to students. Our mission is to foster healthy research practices, facilitate student-teacher collaboration, and address various issues through effective research. We also strive to expand our global research network and contribute to building research-friendly universities in Bangladesh.
Our organization proudly collaborates with research societies from other universities across the country, such as DU, JU, RU, KU, JNU, BUP, NSTU, CoU, JUST, SUST, IU, JKKNIU, PUST, HSTU, DIU, LU, and MBSTU, creating a broad network of research-oriented students.
BURS is led by our Chief Patron, Prof. Dr. Mohammad Badruzzaman Bhuiyan, Honorable Vice-Chancellor of the University of Barishal. Our Chief Advisor is Dr. Md. Khorshed Alam, Associate Professor and Chairman of the Department of Physics at the University of Barishal. We are supported by over 60 teachers from six faculties, with Md. Sohel Rana, Associate Professor and Chairman of the Department of Political Science, Hosneara Dalia, Assistant Professor of the Department of Public Administration and MD Hasib, Assistant Professor of the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology serving as our Moderators.
BURS actively participates in national and international conferences, seminars, scholar meets, youth research summits, contests, exhibitions, and fairs, representing Barishal University. Recently, our young researchers attended the 6th Annual International Conference on “Identity Politics and Its Implications in the 21st Century” organized by the Bengal Institute of Political Studies (BIPS) in Kolkata, India. They also participated in events at Jadavpur University, Presidency University, Calcutta University, Vidyasagar University, Burdwan University, Rabindra Bharati University, and Kazi Nazrul University (Asansol), showcasing Bangladesh on a global platform. We are currently associated with the Bangladesh Research Society and Dhaka University Research Society for the 6-month “BDRS Research Learning Program-2024” and regularly launch research-related programs to engage our students.
Our objectives include organizing workshops, skill development sessions, youth leadership programs, national and international seminars, research fairs, and conferences to encourage young generations to engage in research. We also arrange idea contests, young researchers’ summits, and research paper contests, provide specialized training for assignments, theses, and monographs, and help students gain pre-employment experience through internships and part-time or voluntary jobs. BURS collaborates with universities both at home and abroad for research, arranging monthly research sessions and weekly workshops.
By promoting a healthy research culture, facilitating student-teacher collaborations, and expanding our national and international connections, BURS is committed to contributing to the establishment of research-friendly universities in Bangladesh, removing barriers to research work, and supporting the development of a dynamic, interactive, and global research community.
