The India Research Conclave 2025, hosted at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, marked a significant milestone in advancing research excellence, fostering collaboration, and reinforcing research integrity in India.
Powered by Springer Nature, the conclave brought together leading academics, researchers, policymakers, and industry experts to deliberate on key challenges and opportunities shaping India's research landscape.
With a strong emphasis on research integrity, innovation, and inclusivity, the event featured keynote addresses from distinguished speakers from the government, academia, and research organizations. Discussions underscored India's role in shaping the global research agenda and the importance of ethical and sustainable scientific progress.
The conclave featured two engaging panel discussions. The first panel, 'Strengthening India's Research & the Way Forward', brought together distinguished academics and policymakers to discuss the challenges and opportunities in India's research ecosystem. Experts shared insights on funding, policy reforms, and interdisciplinary collaboration to propel India to the forefront of global research.
The second panel, 'Women in Research: Catalysts for Change in India's Scientific Landscape', highlighted the invaluable contributions of women researchers and the need for greater gender inclusivity in STEM fields. The discussion emphasised mentorship, policy support, and institutional changes to empower women in research.
A key focus of the conclave was Springer Nature's Research Integrity initiatives, reinforcing the commitment to ethical publishing, transparency, and sustainable research practices. This aligns with India's vision for academic excellence and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
