1.  It was recommended that under the umbrella of Pakistan Council of 
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (PCRGIS), 
collaborative research projects be initiated between local and regional 
universities. This will provide a springboard to develop multi-
disciplinary applications of remote sensing and GIS by focusing and 
utilizing individual staff member expertise spread across different 
institutions. 
2.  It was recommended that utilizing HEC appointed foreign professors, 
research linkage programs be developed between their parent 
institution/s so that the research skills and foreign lab infrastructures

could be utilized for Pakistani Natural Resource Management related 
problems. 
3.  It was also recommended to initiate a Split PhD Program where part 
of the PhD program could be spent in foreign universities associated 
with HEC appointed foreign professors. 
4.  It is recommended that national level RS & GIS institute should play a 
key role in organizing national and regional conferences on the 
applications of RS and GIS. This will not only induce RS&GIS 
research culture but will also bring in Pakistan on the regional screen 
to offer RS&GIS training and consultancy services. 
Appendix 1:  
 
This section provides detailed weekly theory and practical schedules for all 
core courses. This information is provided with the intention to maintain the 
required topics sequence and the corresponding recommended weights in 
theory as well in practical components. It is assumed that adopting the 
proposed sequence will assist in maintaining cross institutional standards 
and in determining recognition of prior learning and student transfers from 
one institution to another.
