About Industry Academia Conclave

Industry-Academia Conclave brings together professionals from industry and academia to discuss and collaborate on various topics related to research, innovation, education, and workforce development. These events serve as a platform for fostering meaningful interactions, exchanging ideas, and building partnerships between the two sectors. PSG Institute of Technology was organising Industry academia conclave every year since 2016. In 2016, it was inaugurated by Padma Bhushan Dr A Sivathanu Pillai, Father of Brahmos Aerospace.



Here's an overview of what typically happens at an Industry-Academia Conclave:

  • Keynote Speeches and Panel Discussions
    The conclave usually begins with keynote speeches by prominent leaders from industry and academia, providing insights into current trends, challenges, and opportunities. Panel discussions featuring experts from both sectors delve into specific topics such as technology trends, industry-academia collaboration models, and skill development strategies.

  • Knowledge Sharing and Best Practices:
    Students have the opportunity to share their experiences, success stories, and best practices in areas such as research collaboration, technology transfer, curriculum development, and talent acquisition. This exchange of knowledge helps students learn from each other and identify innovative approaches to common challenges.

  • Networking Opportunities:
    Networking sessions are an integral part of the conclave, allowing students to connect with peers, potential collaborators, and industry partners. These interactions often lead to new partnerships, research collaborations, funding opportunities, and joint initiatives aimed at addressing industry needs and fostering innovation.

  • Exhibition and Showcase:
    Many conclave events feature an exhibition or showcase where universities, research institutions, startups, and companies can showcase their research projects, products, services, and innovations. This provides visibility to participants and facilitates potential collaborations and technology transfer opportunities.

  • Workshops and Training Sessions:
    Workshops, training sessions, and skill development programs are often organized as part of the conclave to equip students with the latest knowledge, tools, and techniques relevant to their fields. These sessions may cover topics such as emerging technologies, research methodologies, entrepreneurship skills, and industry-specific competencies.
