Empowering Discovery: Research & Seed Funding at IES University
At IES University, we believe that breakthrough innovation is the cornerstone of academic excellence. Our robust Research and Seed Funding Policies are designed to transform ambitious ideas into impactful realities. By providing a fertile ecosystem for faculty, scholars, and students, we bridge the gap between curiosity and world-changing discovery.
Research Policy: Our Framework for Excellence
The IES University Research Policy serves as a strategic blueprint for high-impact inquiry. Aligned with global standards and regulatory bodies—including UGC, AICTE, NAAC, ICAR, and NCISM—our framework ensures that every project meets the highest benchmarks of ethics and quality.
Strategic Objectives
- Cultivating a Research-First Culture: Embedding inquiry into the DNA of every faculty and department.
- Interdisciplinary Synergy: Breaking silos to encourage collaborative solutions for complex global challenges.
- High-Impact Dissemination: Incentivizing publications in premier national and international Scopus/Web of Science journals.
- Intellectual Property Leadership: Providing end-to-end support for patent filing, technology transfer, and commercialization.
- Industry-Centric Innovation: Focusing on socially relevant research that addresses real-world industrial needs.
- Ethical Integrity: Implementing rigorous quality assurance and ethical frameworks for sustainable research.
Seed Funding Policy: Catalyzing Innovation
We recognize that the greatest breakthroughs often start with a single, unproven idea. Our Seed Funding Policy acts as an internal venture capital fund, providing the critical early-stage capital needed to pilot innovative concepts.
Fueling the Future of Research
Our seed grants are designed to help researchers "proof-of-concept" their ideas, making them competitive for massive external grants from government and international agencies.
- Early-Stage Empowerment: Financial backing for junior faculty and young researchers to kickstart their portfolios.
- Prototyping & Technology Development: Funding the creation of research models, software, and physical prototypes.
- Pathway to External Grants: Building the data and results necessary to secure funding from major national and global bodies.
- Feasibility-Focused Evaluation: A transparent, merit-based selection process focusing on innovation, societal impact, and scalability.
