About FLAME Undergraduate Research Day

The Undergraduate Research Committee of FLAME University is organizing the FLAME Undergraduate Research Day to provide an interdisciplinary platform to foster dialogue and collaboration among undergraduate students across diverse domains of knowledge. This year’s theme “Boundaries and Bridges in the Age of Disruption” explores critical challenges and transformative ideas in a rapidly evolving world and aims to bridge gaps in understanding, prioritize sustainability and equity, and embrace innovation while addressing ethical and societal concerns.

We invite abstracts based on primary and secondary empirical research, work in progress, conceptual and critical analyses, systematic reviews, case studies and proposed research that address these pressing issues, only from currently enrolled undergraduate students.

The FLAME Undergraduate Research Day will be held in fully offline mode on FLAME University campus in Pune.
