University of Nepal & FIPMO Collaboration

As part of FIPMO’s 10 ExCom Second Quarterly Meeting, a strategic session was held on “University of Nepal: Vision, Priorities, and Strategic Collaboration with FIPMO.” The session featured Prof. Dr. Arjun Karki, Vice Chancellor of the University of Nepal, who spoke on the importance of building credible and enduring institutions, and Dr. Surya Raj Acharya, Registrar of the University of Nepal, who presented the University’s vision, institutional model, development journey and potential areas of collaboration with FIPMO. Dr. Bindu N. Lohani, Chancellor of the University of Nepal, subsequently led the wider discussion on FIPMO’s role in national development.

FIPMO welcomed the proposed collaboration, identifying opportunities for policy dialogue, collaborative research, engagement of FIPMO members as guest speakers and resource persons, professional networking, resource mobilization, and academic and capacity-building initiatives. Participants encouraged both institutions to identify practical areas of collaboration that could be initiated during 2026.
