In October 2020 North South University’s Office of External Affairs (OEA) started building a network of government-registered national NGOs and International NGOs for potential research collaboration, joint publications, training programs, and internship opportunities for students.

One of the things that attract researchers to come to Bangladesh is the opportunity to work with NGOs. NSU can provide this opportunity for research work in Bangladesh through its NGO network — whether it be for students working on their these or already established researchers from different fields. Bangladesh is a fascinating place for research work considering its rapid development and progress toward reaching the Sustainable Development Goals.

The following is a current list of national NGO/INGO MOUs established with NSU. This list was last updated on June 03, 2025.
