Sample Feedback on "specific benefits gained by attending Research Conclave 2022” are:
- Opportunity to interact with other researchers and showcase our research findings to others and exchange of ideas.
- The Research Conclave provided an opportunity to show case our current research work and to interact with co-researchers and explore the possibilities for multi-disciplinary research
- A few new research ideas were absorbed. Few speakers have given such information in their presentation which would help the new research minds.
- I gained the information on the research activities that is happening across the disciplines of SJEC. It will be helpful in order to collaborate with the right person.
- Helped to identify the trending research problems in various fields Gained awareness on various research methods and the process of the research work
Sample Feedback on "List specific comments to improve the Research Conclave in future” are:
- Emphasis should be given on research outcomes from research supervisors.
- It would be better if the speakers talk about more on what was past, the current and in future how it will, in their areas. Also idea sharing with 1:N in the conclave might help to contribute more to the research with pros and cons in that novel work.
- Department specific Conclaves could be held.
- Include research scholars (research students) oral presentation also.
- Audience from various disciplines may not be in a position to understand the specific topics of a discipline. It would be better to stream line the presentations/present some inter-disciplinary research topics in order to get more attentions from the audience.
