RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
Being acutely aware of the importance of interdisciplinary research to tackle scientific
and technical challenges in a global scenario, this Institution has established the SASTRA
Hub for Research & Innovation (SHRI) in its premises. SHRI is a multi–disciplinary
centre that has been a focal point of the Institution to translate laboratory innovations to
product / technology development. Phase I & II has been established in an area of about
2,00,000 square feet at a cost of Rs 50 crore, exclusively funded by the Management of
SASTRA.
The need for universities to be comprehensive in its overall pursuit has been a key input in
SASTRA’s endeavours to engage in research, teaching, consultancy, training & community
outreach activities. SASTRA demonstrates a fine mix of all of these and contributes to the
research ecosystem to deliver high quality research output placing it amongst the premier
universities in the country. In its constant pursuit to uncover knowledge and share it with
a wider cross–section, SASTRA has engaged in meaningful research through its various
centres, which are undertaking research activities to enhance the quality of life & society.
The Institution’s research ethos and its basic belief that good researchers are equipped to
be good teachers have made it a truly integrated University.
