Theme of the Conference

International Conference on Transdisciplinary & Innovative Research in Science seeks to integrate the insights from multiple disciplines in order to generate a superior understanding of today’s most challenging problems. Transdisciplinary approach is a novelty that will reinvent higher education. Innovative research is an inevitable characteristic to preserve and improve our world’s standard of living. It is only by being innovative that we will address the major areas of unmet need in research development. The horizons of science and technologies becoming increasingly advantageous to the planet to seek out a typical platform. By giving researchers the opportunity to bridge disciplines, new connections are forged and important contributions are made to the world of research innovation and beyond. Researchers are able to combine multiple disciplines and pursue different ways of thinking about the same problem or subject. It’s a revolutionary way of learning that encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration, enables researchers to develop critical thinking skills and presents many “real world” opportunities for growth.

Addressing to the global contexts which require rich collaborations, the conference programme aims to organize three days of innovative and interactive sessions of scientific communities. Each day will starts and ends with plenary talks and panels, creating a community of engaged conference participants. Sessions will consist of roundtable discussions, solution room to questions, workshops, poster presentations and other formats figuring on the programme enabling not only senior scholars but also early career academics as well as students and professionals from outside the academy to contribute.

We invite contributions from attendees in all categories from diverse fields, countries and research or educational cultures, addressing different aspects of the conference theme. The programme supports innovative scientific concepts that will encourage audience involvement and lively discussions. The conference will encompass all avenues of fields of science and technology by throwing light on the positive and inadvertent impact of modern technologies on society.

Zoology

University of Madras established Postgraduate Extension Centre at Vellore in the year of 1983. Department of Zoology was one among the three Departments that was started. It can be aptly put that the then Postgraduate Extension Centre was the foundation stone of Thiruvalluvar University. The Department is offering M.Sc., M.Phil and Ph.D programmes. The major thrust areas of research include Ethnopharmacology, Nanoscience, Sericulture, Aquaculture, Entomology and Ecobiology.The Department has received

from premier funding agencies such as UGC, DST, ICMR, DBT New Delhi and TNSCST, Chennai. Department has conducted National level conferences, Workshops, Refresher courses and technology transfer programmes to sericulture farmers. So far 54 Ph.Ds and 103 M.Phil scholars completed their degree. To cap, our department is identified for financial assistance by DST-FIST programme. The faculty members also offer consultancy in their respective fields of specialization.

Biotechnology

The Department of Biotechnology was established in 2010. The department offers M.Sc., M.Phil and Ph.D. courses. Faculty members are actively involved in research activities with several research projects with extra-mural funds by DBT, DST-SERB, BRNS and UGC. Department regularly organize the National Science Day celebrations, Eminent scientists and researchers from abroad are being are invited to deliver lectures and ignite the research acumen among the students. Recently the exchange of research scholars to HKBU, Hong Kong through the memorandum of understanding (MoU) and 3MoUs have been established between, HKBU, Hong Kong, National Taiwan Ocean University, Taiwan, University of Tesseide, UK.
