During his stay, he discussed with the Vice Chancellor, Registrar, Deans of School of Engineering and School of Science, Professors and Heads from different departments, Faculties and Research Fellows of HHF regarding effectiveness of Research and Development activities supported by HHF of Kathmandu University since 2004. He also had meetings with ex-HHF fellows and recruited new researchers to carry on the work being done in CEPTE. Group discussion regarding the future of Civil Engineering Department of KU was conducted. Splitting the department into different specialization groups like Hydropower, Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering courses were discussed.

He also delivered a speech in the Kathmandu University Lecture Series (KULS-XXI) and interacted with many students and faculties of the University. The topic of his speech was “International Engineering Consulting and Construction Practices: Foundation for infrastructure development”. With quotes like- “The biggest risk is to take no risk” and “Innovation gets us to the top, Excellence keeps us there” he surely influenced the students and faculties to work towards their goal and act responsibly. “Don’t mind having dirty hands” is what he always said, encouraging students to work hard and be sincere and honest.

His support and belief in Kathmandu University will always be acknowledged. On behalf of School of Engineering, CEPTE extends its gratitude to Prof. Badoux for his continued support in recruiting research fellows and his vision to establish this institution.
