Secured Chemical depository is a prime concern all over the world. Dual use of hazardous chemicals is a major threat to any society and government. If unauthorized persons get in touch of any hazardous chemicals, they can misuse them to do harm for the mankind. Chemical security experts take care of these issues to secure chemicals in industry and academy. Recently, Dr. Mohammad Mahbub Rabbani (Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry and Deputy Director, Dr. Anwarul Abedin Institute of Innovation) and Dr. Farzana Khalil (Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry) participated and successfully completed a two-day long training titled “Chemical Security Inventory Management Systems (CSIMS) Training for Academia and Chemical Industry”. The training was conducted by the United States based research funding and development organization, CRDF Global under its Chemical Security Program (CSP). In addition to training program, CRDF Global provides funds and other necessary technical support to ensure chemical security in physical infrastructures (laboratories and factories). As a part of the training program, the foreign funding agency CRDF Global has also provided grants for Center for Nanotechnology Research (CNR) and Chemistry Labs at AIUB with essential equipment and software to strengthen the inventory management systems of the aforementioned Labs.
