New Delhi: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur has organized a seven-day hands-on training session on "Advanced Characterization Techniques" from January 16 to January 22, 2023.
The program's goal was to give PhD candidates and teachers from tier 2 and tier 3 universities the opportunity to gain practical experience using cutting-edge technology at IIT Kanpur while improving their knowledge of research and development.
It was put together in cooperation with Amity University as a part of the Synergistic Training Program Utilizing the Scientific and Technological Infrastructure (STUTI) financed by the Department of Science and Technology (DST). The participants in the seven-day course received lab demonstrations, thought-provoking lectures, in-depth discussions, and interactive activities.
During the inauguration ceremony, Professor A R Harish, IIT Kanpur's dean of research and development, remarked that this programme will assist the participants in becoming familiar with advanced scientific equipment.
Prof A R Harish said that by bringing all of their questions, participants should aim to take advantage of the occasion as much as possible. Further, they'll be motivated and spread the knowledge they have learned at their different institutions.
Dr. A. Chakraborty, Deputy Director General of Amity Foundations for Science, Technology, and Innovation Alliance, emphasised the importance of the programme and added that the participants will be able to compete and stand head-to-head with experts from around the globe through the initiative. Any knowledge students gain at their home institutions should be shared by them.
Professor Soumik Mukhopadhyay, Department of Physics, and Professor B V Rathish Kumar, Head of the Centre for Continuing Education at IIT Kanpur, stressed that the opportunity to learn from one another was provided for the participants because collaborative learning is essential for academic achievement.
They acquired a variety of experimental procedures, but they had to endeavour to understand the theoretical principle that underlies each approach as well, Prof Soumik said.
During the conclusion of the programme, Professor Harshawardhan Wanare, Head of the Physics Department at IIT Kanpur, said that the students should be innovative and take initiative to learn concepts better.
He also asked participants to take advice from their colleagues in order to use the newest and most cutting-edge fields of science and technology for the good of society.
