This is indeed a research age.
In an era where innovation drives competition, development and national
prosperity, and where social, economic, cultural, environmental and political
challenges are increasingly diffused across geographical borders, it has never
been more critical for research to respond—and lead—in a global vein. We only
need to look around us and the technologies we use and rely on in our
day-to-day lives to appreciate the momentous value and contribution of
research.
A defining characteristic of
Chandigarh University is RESEARCH.
Chandigarh University is deeply
committed to emphasize the importance and value of research—at the
institutional level and further afield, both domestically and internationally.
Every day students and faculty at CU perform research and innovation and with
our consistent efforts we have set up an advanced research culture and system.
In many cases, these truly transformative innovations and successes are not
achieved in isolation but are the outcomes of collaborative research efforts
both domestically and internationally. Further to give our research objectives
a proper shape we at CU have established University Centre for Research and
Development (UCRD).
With the collaborative efforts
of our faculty, students and experts we
have achieved more than 25 patent fields, set up more than 50 departmental
research groups, more than 1200 research papers published in National and
International journals and more. With the combined efforts of research faculty
and students we have achieved various feathers of success to our research cap
like – curing Asthmatic allergies, ergonomically designed bicycle, correction
of bone deformities. Currently our young researchers at CU are focussing on the
core areas of macro-nano technology, computational biology, biomedical
engineering, clean energy and environment and so on. Different departments at
CU have organised separate research groups to carry on an organised research at
CU.
To secure the efforts and to
encourage the spirit of innovation of our trained faculty and enthusiastic
students, we at CU have set up Intellectual Property Right Cell (IPRC) that
covers industrial Property – patents, designs, trademarks and projects and
ventures initiated by our staff and students.
Collaborations of a global
nature create positive impacts not just at the institutional level, but more
importantly, throughout the broader community. Focussing on this approach,
International research collaborations are greatly fostered and nurtured at CU.
Our collaborations with more than 100 international universities helps us
collaboratively to bring diversity in perspective and approach to solve the
challenges of our time and generate new ideas for the future. A culture of
collaborative and innovative research among Australian universities and their
international peers fosters a reciprocal culture of positive transformation.
We invite you to join with us
in continuing to enrich this culture of innovation through collaboration in
research. The more we engage globally, the more we all prosper. This must,
after all, be the primary objective of research at CU.
