About the Conference and Industry-Academia meet

The International Conference on Sustainable Energy Solutions and Industry–Academia Meet serves as a dynamic platform for researchers, academicians, industry professionals, and policymakers to deliberate on emerging trends and challenges in sustainable energy technologies. The conference focuses on innovative solutions in renewable energy, energy storage systems, smart grids, green materials, and environmentally responsible industrial practices. Importantly, the theme of the conference is closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs)—particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), and SDG 13 (Climate Action)—highlighting the global commitment to sustainable development and responsible energy transitions.

     A key highlight of the conference is the Industry–Academia Meet, which aims to bridge the gap between fundamental research and real-world applications in the context of sustainable development. Through keynote lectures, technical sessions, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, participants gain insights into industry needs, commercialization pathways, and collaborative research opportunities. By fostering synergy between academia and industry, the conference supports the advancement of technologies and policies that contribute directly to the achievement of the UN SDGs, promoting sustainable energy solutions that drive economic growth while ensuring environmental and social well-being.

Promotion of University Research and Scientific Excellence (PURSE)

The conference is being organized under the banner of the “Promotion of University Research and Scientific Excellence (PURSE)” scheme, a prestigious grant initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. This scheme aims to enhance research capacity and scientific excellence in universities. With ‘Clean Energy’ as the central theme of the PURSE grant of Tezpur University, the “International Conference on Sustainable Energy Solutions and Industry-Academia Meet” strongly aligns with national flagship initiatives such as Atma Nirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India), Start-up India, National Electric Mobility Mission Plan and National Green Hydrogen Mission. By focusing on indigenous research, innovation, and technology development in renewable energy, energy storage, green hydrogen, and sustainable industrial solutions, the conference promotes self-reliance and encourages translation of academic research into scalable technologies and start-up ventures. The forum also facilitates industry engagement and entrepreneurship, thereby supporting India’s transition towards a clean, secure, and self-sustaining energy ecosystem while contributing to national and global sustainability objectives.
