The MSc/PGD Program in Sustainable Process Engineering was developed under Norwegian (NOMA project) funding and as a result the program as well as the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering, University of Moratuwa gained multiple benefits such as development of learning environment, upgrading degree programs, student transfer, post-graduate scholarships, foreign training, and many more.
Prof. Rune Bakke was an instrumental and leading character for all these initiatives. During a recent visit to Norway, Prof. P.G. Rathnasiri - Professor at the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering, University of Moratuwa and the Founding Course Coordinator of the MSc/PGD in Sustainable Process Engineering Program commemorated Prof. Rune Bakke by unveiling a Sculpture of him at Prof. Rune’s University in Norway. This Sculpture of Prof. Rune Bakke was built by one of the Alumni of the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering, University of Moratuwa.
