Workshop on Advanced Research Methods, Data Analysis, and Ethical Use of AI: KMC Bagbazar
Demonstrating a strong commitment to advancing academic rigor and research excellence, the Research Management Cell (RMC) of Kathmandu Model College is organizing a three-day intensive workshop titled “Advanced Data Analysis, Research Methods, and Ethical Use of AI in Academia” with support from the University Grants Commission.
The workshop brings together faculty members, early-career researchers, and scholars from more than 15 institutions across the country, creating a dynamic platform for scholarly engagement, capacity building, and collaborative learning. Designed to strengthen applied research skills, the program integrates quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches within a unified and practice-oriented framework.
Emphasizing experiential learning, the workshop follows an interactive structure comprising 40% expert-led sessions and 60% hands-on practice and peer engagement. Over three days, 10 distinguished resource persons will facilitate 12 intensive sessions covering research design, advanced data analysis, academic writing, and ethical research practices.
Key Details
- Date: 24–26 Baisakh 2083 (May 7–9, 2026)
- Time: 9:00 Am to 4:30 Pm
- Venue: Kathmandu Model College

Academic Significance
The workshop aims to strengthen participants’ understanding of diverse research paradigms, enhance analytical and interpretive skills, and build competence in producing high-quality, publication-ready research. It also promotes evidence-based academic practices, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the development of research networks across institutions.
With participation from over 15 institutions and more than 50 scholars, the workshop serves as a significant academic convergence platform, encouraging dialogue, knowledge exchange, and long-term collaboration among scholars.
The Research Management Cell of KMC has been consistently working to foster a dynamic and innovation-driven research culture within and beyond the institution. Through continuous collaboration with academic institutions and scholars, RMC seeks to strengthen research capacity, promote ethical scholarship, and contribute to Nepal’s evolving higher education landscape.
As higher education in Nepal continues to evolve, such initiatives play a critical role in enhancing research quality, strengthening ethical academic practices, and fostering sustained collaboration across institutions, contributing to a more rigorous and globally aligned research ecosystem in Nepal.
