Amity Institute of Forensic Sciences in collaboration with Amity Academic Staff College organized a 15-day online refresher course on "Advances in Interdisciplinary Research and Teaching in Science & Technology and Intellectual Property Rights", from 9th to 23rd December 2024. The aim of the Programme was to provide information to students and researchers on advances in interdisciplinary research and teaching. More than 100 research scholars, scientists, science teachers, healthcare professionals and forensic professionals from various institutions participated in this online course.
Dr. J.M. Vyas, Vice-Chancellor, National University of Forensic Sciences, Gujarat, said, “Science and technology remain with us from the beginning of life till the end of life. Acquiring information is knowledge, but acquiring specific knowledge through research is science. He said that the process done to reach any conclusion is called research. Science and research make our lives easier and provide us with solutions to various existing problems. While new technologies are making life easier, criminals are using them for crime, so now we must invent technology that is safe and cannot be misused and along with research, we must also focus on prevention and safety. This refresher course will give you all the opportunity to know the latest research and ideas.”
Dr. Balvinder Shukla, Vice Chancellor, Amity University Uttar Pradesh stated, “This 15-day refresher course organized by Amity will give you a platform to express your ideas, explore new ideas, new collaboration possibilities. The way new crimes are increasing every day, modern technology is needed to deal with them. The capacity and skills of future forensic scientists must be developed. Interdisciplinary research is very important to fulfill the Prime Minister's goal of developed and self-reliant India.”
Mr. Praveen Ramdas, National Joint Organizing Secretary, Vijnana Bharati, averred, "Amity and Vijnana Bharati have been working together for a long time. The course will be immensely helpful for the participants not only in the current scenario but also in the future.”
Dr. Sunita Ratan, Dean- Science and Technology, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, said, "In Forensic Science, one needs to work closely with experts in fields other than your field. You can't be an expert in every field even if you want to, and interdisciplinary collaboration is essential to develop any new technology or product. At present, background research is not enough, so the focus must be on mutual cooperation.”
Dr. Amarnath Mishra, Associate Professor, Amity Institute of Forensic Sciences and Program Director of the Refresher Course said that more than 100 participants are participating in this 15-day refresher course from various institutions like RIMS Ranchi, AIIMS Delhi etc. Information will be imparted to the participants through various sessions by experts.
