Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida has organized, first-of-its-kind Under Graduate Research Conclave-2024 from 16th to 21st May 2024, for undergraduate students of final semesters. Around 1200 Under Graduate students have registered for the one-week Conclave and will be presenting their research papers during the conclave. Almost 50% of the students have published their papers in indexed conferences/journals.
The Research Conclave for UG students is being organized at Institution/Domain levels and will provide them a forum to present their supervised independent learning course research work done on their research problems and encourage them to bring out quality research outputs.
Under the guidance of Deans and Institutional Heads, 27 institutions from 14 domains have organized 143 technical sessions during week-long UG Research Conclave. In addition, experts from the Industry and Academia will be providing critical insights and suggestions on these presentations.
NEP 2020 has strongly emphasized integration of research in UG programs in addition to master’s and doctoral programs. NEP-2020 aims at creating a conducive ecosystem to catalyze research and innovation in HEIs. During the Research Conclave, final year UG students at Amity University will convert their major projects, capstone projects, thesis, seminar, etc. into a research paper and get it published in an indexed journal/conference proceedings or other forms of IPR like patent/copyright.
Dr. Balvinder Shukla, Vice Chancellor, Amity University Uttar Pradesh in her inaugural address highlighted that research allows students to pursue their interests, to learn something new, to hone problem-solving skills and to challenge themselves in new ways. Getting involved in research and creative scholarly activities gives students to gain hands-on experience completing a research/creative project; work closely with a faculty/industry guide, analyze and critique the work of others and gain a deeper understanding of the scientific process. This conclave will give undergraduate students a wonderful opportunity to deliberate with peers, faculty and experts coming from industry and academia to present their work and listen to comments and suggestions.
Dr. Sunil K Khatri, Dean (Research, Innovation and Extension Activities) while talking to students emphasized that writing research is important because it allows researchers to communicate their findings to the scientific community and contributes to the advancement of knowledge. HEIs are becoming more concerned with science and technology, and research is finding its place in the minds of today’s students. Amity students are more eager to make discoveries, provide solutions to the world’s problems and this conclave has received very encouraging participation.
Amity University, being a Research and Innovation driven University strongly emphasizes and focuses upon providing excellent research ecosystem to the students including high-end research labs, innovation incubators, technology enabling centre, IPR cell and centre for innovation and entrepreneurship development.
During the Inaugural Session, an Abstract Book providing a synopsis of research work was also released.
