Research is without a doubt the fulcrum for the academic community. It is as important for an academic organization, as it is for the personal growth of academicians. SIBM-Bengaluru recognizes this completely and accords the highest importance to excellence in research, which is evident in its policy as well as practice.
Symbiosis Centre for Research and Innovation (SCRI) is the dedicated department of SIU for promoting and facilitating research among students and faculty. SCRI inculcates a thriving culture of research, which facilitates researchers to achieve excellence in their work, which eventually translates SIU’s vision of creation of knowledge for the benefit of the society into reality. SIBM-Bengaluru has imbibed SIU’s ethos towards excellence in research and the research environment at the institute is driven by the SIU Research Policy outlined here:
The research activities of SIBM-Bengaluru are initiated and managed by the SIBM-Bengaluru Publication and Research Center (SPaRC). SPaRC is an initiative to inculcate an environment of quality research at SIBM-B. The centre strives to fulfill SIU’s commitment towards research that is socially relevant, locally need-based, nationally important and globally significant. The research center aims at providing a platform and organizing activities to engage and encourage faculty and students to pursue high-quality research. The idea behind the center is to provide all possible support at the institution level to augment research output, while steadily progressing towards research that creates impact for the economy, society, business and policy.
Research is the fulcrum of the academic community, essential for both academic organizations and the personal growth of academicians. At SIBM-Bengaluru, we recognize the significance of research, evident in our policy and practice.
The SIBM-Bengaluru Publication and Research Center (SPaRC) is dedicated to fostering an environment of quality research. SPaRC aligns with SIU’s commitment to socially relevant, locally need-based, nationally important, and globally significant research.
In-house research seminars where faculty members present their research ideas followed by discussion and feedback sessions.
Intensive research discussions on research ideas, work-in-progress or completed research of faculty spread over 1-2 days.
In-house sessions/workshops for knowledge sharing among faculty members, towards developing and enhancing their research/teaching capabilities. This introduces faculty to innovative techniques/new technology/best practices in teaching and research.
The SRA program was instituted with the objective of encouraging students to work under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Students are selected through a rigorous process to assist faculty in their research areas. Research generated through this program is presented in national and international conferences of premier institutions and/or published.
SPaRC in collaboration with Symbiosis Teaching and Learning Resource Centre (STLRC) also organizes joint FDPs for upskilling faculty in pedagogical as well as research domains.
