Pioneering Research Frontiers at GITAM
At GITAM (Deemed to be University), the Research & Innovation (R&I) function is strategically designed to streamline and enhance all research activities across the university.
This initiative is focused on generating new knowledge within selected scientific domains and developing innovations that can be transitioned into viable commercial applications.
Structure of the Research &
Innovation Continuum
The R&I activities at GITAM are organised into a dynamic continuum with three main components, each aimed at accelerating research and achieving the university's vision:
SPARC

GUIDE
