“Over three days, participants engaged across a broad range of themes including healthcare and AI, advanced technologies, design and creativity, energy and environment and general management and law, reflecting the growing importance of interdisciplinary thinking in addressing present and emerging challenges. The conclave also highlighted the value of collaborative opportunities across institutions, stronger industry-academia partnerships and access to funding channels that can support promising research and development initiatives,’’ a communique from the UPES claimed.
Speaking on the successful conclusion of the conclave, the vice chancellor of UPES, Sunil Rai said, “At UPES, we believe that research must move beyond publication and enter the space of application, collaboration and societal relevance. IYRC-2026 reflects that belief by bringing young researchers, faculty, industry and institutions into one shared conversation. It is encouraging to see such energy, curiosity and cross-disciplinary thinking, which will play an important role in shaping solutions for the future.”
