International Conferences, Seminars, and Workshops
We at BAPS Swaminarayan Research Institute understand the immense effect that intellectual gatherings have in the lives of students and researchers and in the progress of their fields of study. By bringing experts from diverse disciplinary fields and different parts of the country and world together in focused delivery and discussion, our conferences, seminars, and workshops are the melting pot of academic insight and innovation.
Conferences
In addition to conducting intra-institute seminars in association with our other sister-institutes, the BAPS Swaminarayan Research Institute also collaborates with distinguished institutions and organizations, such as the ICPR (Indian Council of Philosophical Research), to conduct both national and international conferences. Through such conferences, our students and researchers along with others throughout the world participate in a mutual exchange of ideas and cross-disciplinary discussions.
Seminars
Along with larger conferences, we at BAPS Swaminarayan Research Institute also regularly host and conduct seminar events at our facilities. Focusing on specific topics of investigation and limited to a small number of invitees, these seminars allow for quick presentations of ongoing research and the opportunity to receive feedback from experienced peers.
Workshops
Our organized workshop events focus on developing specific skill sets, such as advanced research methodologies, digital academic publishing, technology integration in the classroom, and understanding international copyright mandates. Through such workshops, we seek to educate our members so that they may be informed about critical topics affecting their research and study and be able to take advantage of the wide range of tools available to them.
Distance Learning Initiatives
Distance learning is becoming an accepted and indispensable part of the mainstream educational systems throughout the world. As education and learning break free of the traditional classroom and university models, the need to adapt to distance learning becomes vital for ensuring academic advancement.
Distance learning affords many advantages over traditional classroom-based forms of learning. It affords greater access to instructors that are specialists in their respective fields. Online learning also allows for a more flexible schedule, accommodating work, family, or other responsibilities. By cutting commute and transportation time and cost, avoiding large tuition fees, and making geographical distances irrelevant, online courses become an appealing means for learning.
Recognizing the need for distance learning, we have implemented several initiatives to facilitate both our members’ enrolment and attendance in such programs and the hosting of online sessions by our teaching faculty. Our institute offers access to several online learning platforms where students can enroll to participate in certified, credited, or non-credited courses. Through the Institute’s various affiliations, both participating in and instructing specialized learning programs can also be accommodated.
Supporting our commitment to distance learning, our institute offers abundant resources, including dedicated online video conferencing spaces equipped with modern multimedia support, reliable internet connections, cloud hosting services, and a variety of online classroom support services.
