The idea and initiative for USET have come from three academics from Bangladesh origin working abroad: Prof. MD Solaiman of Griffith University, Australia, Dr. Mazharul M Islam Rana of Bath University, UK and Prof. Bibhuty Roy of Bremen University, Germany. Due to their long-standing academic work experience in world-renowned Universities in different developed countries (Australia, Germany, France, Italy, and the UK), USET will get the opportunity for connecting and collaborating with those countries and beyond. Through their worldwide connections, USET will have the advantage of attaching junior and senior academics working offshore with visiting and adjunct positions. The incumbent Government has been doing extraordinarily well to maintain the ‘middle income’ status of Bangladesh. Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has recently said that Bangladesh will achieve the goal to become a middle-income nation by 2021, three years ahead of the deadline set by the World Bank. She has been working tirelessly for transforming Bangladesh into a ‘developed’ nation by 2041.
