Institute for Advanced Research (IAR), Gandhinagar strives for developing itself into a University of Innovation via excellence in Education and Research keeping in mind the current and future requirements of the country to match the high standard in sciences, engineering, technology and humanities. With innovations and best practices in both its curriculum and research, the Institute intends to gain reputation globally. The University challenges and supports all of its faculty and research staff to undertake world-class research and consultancy projects. In addition to offering formal Doctoral, Post-graduate and Undergraduate Programs, the University encourages its faculty and other academic staff to undertake sponsored research and consultancy projects in order to strengthen the research profile of the Institute.  High-end research laboratories at the University provide an ideal atmosphere to conduct cutting-edge research. IAR as a University for Innovation emphasizes on training and producing best of the researcher through the doctoral program. We have produced 16 PhDs and 53 students are currently enrolled with various departments. Our alumni are well-placed nationally and internationally in places like Yale University, The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, The University of Oklahoma, Oregon state university, Institute of Life Science-Bhubneshwar, CCMB- Hyderabad etc. We have published more than 300+ publications in international peer-reviewed journals which include original research articles, reviews, books and book chapters. IAR has been actively collaborating with other academic and research Institutes/Universities and has many eminent Scientist, Industrialist, Medical Practitioners and leaders on our board who advise us broadly regarding the strengthening of our research and academic programmes. IAR realizes the need for moving beyond the University’s research, publications, and funding and is engaged in promoting research and enterprise activities in other domains also. We plan to extend a helping hand to enhance engagements with industries, government and academia to develop sustainable long-term interactions. We believe that the key to the socio-economic impact on the society is via Research and Innovation and thus will continue to achieve the Excellent.
