Message from Head, Centre for Policy Studies (CPS)
The establishment of RISE – Research for Innovation in Sustainable Energy under the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS) marks an important milestone in the restructuring of research excellence at COMSATS University. This initiative reflects our vision of bringing together diverse thematic alliances that can address national and global challenges through interdisciplinary research and policy engagement.
RISE carries forward the legacy of the Energy Research Centre (ERC), while expanding its scope to include capacity building, internationalization, and policy outreach. At CPS, we see RISE not only as a platform for research and technological innovation but also as a bridge between academia, industry, and policymakers.
I am confident that through collaborative efforts, RISE will contribute meaningfully to Pakistan’s energy transition and strengthen COMSATS University’s role in shaping sustainable futures.
