Research

Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence is a research university, in that, academic research in its broadest meaning including basic and applied research, scholarly publications, and creative expression, are the fundamental building blocks of the academic mission of the University. We believe strongly in the role of the University as a center for the discovery and creation of new forms of knowledge and expression, and in a mission to contribute to the process of creating knowledge, not just disseminating it. The University’s goal is to become nationally and internationally recognized for the quality of our research and creative endeavors, and their applicability to improving quality of life, generating new insights, and expanding the boundaries of human knowledge and creativity.

University-wide Research Priorities

In 2021, we undertook an extensive exercise which we called 'Quo Vadis'. Four priority researches were identified by the university community: Environment, Energy, Cognition and behavior, and Data and computation.

Research Excellence Initiatives

The University offers help in various funding vistas in India and abroad. It also provides startup grants, core research grants, and fellowships across disciplines.

Research resources and compliance

Strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research that cuts across academic programs has allowed the University to break disciplinary silos and institute a broad-based pedagogical structure. The synergy between teaching and research is the stronghold, rooted in the belief and efforts towards creation of knowledge (by researching) and not just disseminating it (by teaching).

“Research, with its many facets, is the driver of vibrant human progress. At the Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence, our vision is to create new knowledge and undertake creative expressions of the human spirit. Though we are a multidisciplinary research-focused university, academically organised around four distinct schools, we also lay strong emphasis on interdisciplinarity for quality research.”

Active and meaningful collaborations are the keys to research successes in today's strongly connected world. At SNIoE, a combined Research and Partnerships in one office, underlines the importance we place on collaborations as a key enabler. These could be academic, industrial, societal, national, and/or international. The Research and Partnerships office also lays great emphasis on promoting collaborations within the University.

Stepping into our second decade, recognized as an Institution of Eminence, we have held university-wide discussions to collectively identify the focus of future research. This has resulted in the emergence of common research themes across all Schools.

Environment
Cognition & Behavior
Data & Computation and
Energy

Other identified interschool themes for engagement include Materials, Computational Science and Engineering, Biology, Emerging Economies, Entrepreneurial Leadership, Digital Transformation, Analytics, and Organizational Performance.

There exists a strong supporting ecosystem, including state-of-the-art laboratory spaces, post-doctoral fellows and research scholars, research promotion through start-up/seed funds, professional development assistance, consumable grants, fellowships to research scholars, travel support, etc. Around 30 MoUs with reputed institutions of the world provide for meaningful collaborations and building relationships to enhance research capabilities. Many new schemes are being continuously introduced to facilitate faculty in their research pursuits.

As Dean, I welcome and encourage our existing and prospective students and faculty, to explore the research avenues available at the Shiv Nadar IoE.
