Course Objectives

Today, industries are looking for innovative solutions from the academia to help them meet their market needs of higher productivity and lower costs, yet at increased efficiencies. Industry thinks in terms of short range goals whereas the Academic has a long range perspective. Industry prefers proven solutions with a low risk, whereas Academia is interested in creating new solutions with a high innovation rate. Bridging this industry-academia gap is need of the hour whereby an insight by academic institution is required to ensure that promising research takes place which can be easily translated into useful products and an industry representative can discuss some of their hurdles.

The course being a sui generis platform aims at fostering relations with the industry. It will bring all the stakeholders on a common platform, deliberate on the skill gap issues and recommend strategic initiatives to be taken by academic institutions, industries and corporate organizations. The course aims to integrate the researchers in academic institutions and industries for cooperative research.
