BIOSUMMIT

Connect, Collaborate, Innovate. Biosummit awaits.

Biosummit is a flagship event of the School of Biosciences and Technology with an objective of bridging the gap between the industries and academic. This is a conscious effort taken by the school to provide opportunities to the students to interact with the industries. As a part of the Institutional Responsibility, the programme is also made open to faculty and students of other universities and institutes. This event is expected to provide opportunities for networking between the industries and the academia. In addition, it has been a practice to recognize notable alumni of the School. Owing to the increase in the number of industries and with the objective of involving maximum number of industries, the 11th edition of Biosummit focusses on food related large and medium scale industries. Several industries are expected to participate in the event. Apart from the lectures and other technical events, it is also proposed to sign the Memorandum of Understanding with several food industries, to have specific objectives for the collaboration.
