The Symposium on ,"The Frontiers in Functional Materials and Biomolecular Engineering" is envisioned to strengthen the research ecosystem across Hub and spoke universities, including Manipur University, by fostering inter-institutional collaboration, enriching the research culture, stimulating scientific innovation, upgrading research infrastructure, and enhancing the overall quality and standards of scholarly inquiry. These needs showcase the research work being conducted at the university, as well as learning about the research areas being pursued in other institutes, especially in the Hub and other spoke institutes. This symposium is part of a series of ongoing symposia and workshops being organised in various institutes under different themes to showcase research in those areas.
