About KRTC
Kekuleon Research and Training Center
The Kekuleon Research and Training Center (KRTC) is an emerging initiative in Bangladesh focused on strengthening the connection between science education and practical competence. It responds to a common challenge in many developing contexts, where theoretical learning is not sufficiently supported by laboratory training, research exposure, or industry-oriented experience.
KRTC develops a decentralised and integrated institutional approach that brings together foundation education, applied science training, research engagement, and community involvement within a single framework. The aim is to support students in progressing from structured academic learning to applied and practice-based scientific work.
