Aim of Conference 2019
This year the conference is aimed at promoting research culture among undergraduates, postgraduates and staffs across disciplines. This will be achieved by discussing and exchanging viewpoints among professionals, academics of other universities, and industry experts. The event is expected to re-evaluate ‘research activities’, the ‘research space’ that contributes to knowledge under the broad theme of Re-evaluating Space.

The presenters are also meant to showcase their interactive skills across disciplines to a panel of juror for evaluation and to an open audience.
