Hon'ble President of India
Chief Guest CFA 2025
The multidisciplinary research conclave at IIT Mandi aims to establish a collaborative platform for exploring new dimensions in light of global innovation landscapes and addressing local challenges by bridging disciplines and strengthening bonds with leaders and collaborators. This research conclave is also to commemorate the 15-year achievements of IIT Mandi, and the institute will showcase its achievements in areas such as Robotics & AI, Semiconductor Device Fabrication, Quantum Science & Technology, and Advanced Materials. Rapid advancements in these fields have made significant technological progress and pushed academicians, researchers, and industry experts to constantly think the unthinkable, make the impossible possible, and reach the unreachable. These research domains are central to solving grand scientific challenges for the next decade and hold the key to both economic and sustainable development, with a predicted market value of $3.1 trillion by 2030. By fostering innovation and international collaboration in AI, semiconductors, advanced materials, and quantum technologies, nations can play a leadership role and be at the forefront of the global knowledge economy.
