The Need & Purpose to #GoBeyond Research!
Beyond Research addresses a critical gap in India’s academic landscape, where many student researchers abandon their projects post-education due to the impracticality of their theoretical ideas. This initiative ensures that the innovative ideas of pure science students are validated for market viability through design thinking, transforming these ideas into actionable business models aligned with industry needs.
The conference provides continuous support for research projects, aligning with the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (Self-Reliant India) mission by promoting self-sufficiency and nurturing local talent. It encourages the conversion of research into startups, reducing brain drain and fostering economic growth.
