At Amity University Gurugram multiple Center of Excellence has been established to promote Research & Development in diversified areas. These are established in the university for bringing together Indigenous and Western scientific knowledges and ways of knowing expanding horizons of science applications and science outreach to industry and community.

  • The Centre for Big Data and Computational Biology.
    This is first of its kind program aimed at reducing Industry-Academia gap and exposing students to latest technology training in basic and advanced technique of Data Science. The main purpose of the centre is to impart hands on training to the participants with respect to latest advancements in data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence, which will help them to enhance their existing technical skills under the supervision of qualified professionals.
  • The Centre of Innovation in Education:
    The Academic Staff College at the university offers numerous opportunities for lifelong learning through its range of public lectures, seminars, webinars, workshops, Management Development Programs (MDPs) and Faculty Development Programs (FDPs). These initiatives are designed not only for students and faculty but also for the broader community, fostering continuous professional and personal development. Through these engagements, the university promotes a culture of learning that extends beyond the classroom and contributes to the growth and development of all participants.

(iii) Institutional Resources and Facilities:

Innovation Ecosystem and Entrepreneurship:
The university provides a robust platform for establishing startups and fostering an innovation culture, acting as an accelerator for the commercialization of its research outcomes. The Amity Incubation Centre, supported by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology under the MeitY Startup Hub TIDE 2.0 G3C initiative, is dedicated to encouraging and incubating technology-based new enterprises. The incubator center has successfully supported four startups to help aspiring entrepreneurs turn their innovative ideas into viable businesses.

The Entrepreneurship Cell (E-Cell) and the Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC) play a pivotal role in organizing entrepreneurial events and activities that inspire students to develop innovative business ideas. AUH- IICs has attained 4-star rating for two consecutive years and has also been declared as a Mentor Institution by the Ministry. A grant of INR 2,25,000 was awarded by AICTE to mentor 5 universities (3 in Haryana, 1 in Delhi and 1 in Punjab) to have their own functional IIC and carry out various activities related to innovation and entrepreneurship. This initiative not only benefits entrepreneurs by connecting them with industry, society, and government entities but also aims to achieve maximum efficiency in company development.

• Research clusters for promoting societal research and community welfare:

Institute of Pharmacy has established a center of excellence with the thrust areas of research as follows:

  • Drug discovery and development
  • Development of novel formulations and dosage forms
  • Herbal Drug Technology
  • Design and synthesis of novel bioactive chemical scaffolds
  • Extraction, purification and screening of natural products
  • Development of nano formulations and Nano catalysis
  • Development of greener and environmentally benign synthetic methodology

A state-of-the-art new Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical chemistry laboratories with all latest Equipment’s such as Lyophilizer, dissolution apparatus, tablet punching machine, friabilator, viscometer, UV-spectrophotometer, HPLC, stability chamber, zeta sizer, confocal microscope, drug discovery software to name a few has been established for promoting advanced research activities at AUH. The laboratory is also equipped with a triple door aseptic chamber with laminar airflow facility.

Glimpses of New labs established at AUH:

The research facility in the mathematics department help in interpretating data of the community. The mathematical project lab will explore the interplay between climate change and urbanization, focusing on their combined impacts on the region's future for formulating strategies aimed at achieving sustainability with these environmental changes.

Glimpses of the setup:

The new labs established for research scholars in nanotechnology is instrumental in promoting advanced research in applied areas. The Biomaterials and Biostructure Mimicking lab is dedicated to developing cost-effective, indigenous polymeric materials for 3D matrix applications in high-throughput drug screening and tumor modelling for research scholars’ efforts to push boundaries in biomedicine.

(iv) Public Resources Lifelong Learning

Amity University Haryana, situated in a rural-urban location, provides open access to its diverse facilities, including the library, laboratories, computer labs, studios, and herbal garden, all under the supervision of faculty members. These resources are made available to participants from nearby schools, other universities, research labs, and the community free of charge. This initiative supports the university's mission to foster collaborative learning, research, and community engagement, ensuring that the available educational and research resources benefit a wider audience, particularly in the surrounding areas.

  • The New research facilities created at the university focuses on promoting research relevant to solving societal problems. The data analytic lab provides access to outsiders for analysing big data and its interpretation. Students trained through Theory & Hands on sessions, Demos & Peer to Peer Learning, case studies in the data science lab.
  • The Central Instrumentation Research Facility (CIRF), established in September 2019 at Amity University Haryana, provides cutting-edge analytical services to both internal and external researchers from academia and industry. CIRF promotes skill development by offering workshops on topics such as imaging, cell analysis, and molecular separation, ensuring that students, researchers, and industry professionals are trained in the latest analytical techniques. It also focuses on developing new analytical methods for diverse sample analyses, enhancing technology-enabled R&D.
