Vision To evolve into a centre of advanced scientific researchand a premier centre in the international context toundertake the most challenging, high risk and large-scaleinitiatives. To provide special emphasis on interdisciplinaryresearch, scientific output (publications, patents,technology development and its transfer), humanresource development (award of Ph.D. degrees, trainingof post-doctoral fellows and project staff). To promote,-Integrated research (networking and collaborations)-Application of research findings
