Philosophy

SCRI epitomizes the Symbiosis vision, 'Promoting International Understanding through Quality Education and Research'

The philosophy of SCRI is to advance knowledge and create innovative solutions to real-world problems. It is a place where researchers have the freedom to explore new ideas and take risks, and where scholars can learn from and work with leading experts in their field. The following principles guide SCRI-SIU. SCRI is committed to producing the highest quality research, as evidenced by publications in top academic journals, presentations at international conferences, and successful grant applications, thus achieving academic excellence. SCRI is a hub for new ideas and technologies.

The philosophy of SCRI is also tailored to its specific mission and goals. SCRI is focused on healthcare research. It has a unique philosophy that is focused on engineering research. SCRI can put its philosophy into practice as follows. Provide researchers with the resources and support they need to succeed. This includes providing them with access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, as well as funding for their research. Offer opportunities for scholars to get involved in research. This includes graduate research assistantships, graduate programs, and internships. Host workshops and seminars to bring researchers together and share ideas. Partner with industry and government to develop and commercialize new technologies. Communicate the research through press releases, social media, and public lectures. By following these principles and practices, the university research and development centre is vital in advancing knowledge and creating a better future for all.
