Islamabad / Attractions / Universities
IFour universities in Islamabad have taken onto themselves, four different kinds of responsibilities. Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) was established in 1973 in sector H-8, Quaid-e-Azam University (QAU) was established in 1967 while International Islamic University (IIU), located in the vicinity of Shah Faisal Mosque, was created in November 1980. The National University of Science and Technology (NUST) was founded in 1991.
Of course, because this is a natural compound that cannot be patented by the large pharmaceutical companies who want to sell their synthetic chemicals, there has not been much incentive for research.
