Idea Lab

Institute of Pharmacy, Nirma University, has been conducting “Idea Lab” for the last four years to promote creative activity at the Institute by funding the testing and implementation of novel ideas of the students. Early hands-on experience provides opportunities for enthusiastic and passionate freshmen to join the group. In this endeavour, the students are also being guided and mentored by the faculty.

This type of activity mainly encourages young minds to think about real-time problems and their solutions through innovative projects. Funding is given to projects that are technically and exploratorily sound with a potential impact on pharmacy, science, technology, industry, the environment, and social benefits. IdeaLab welcomes multi-disciplinary ideas involving students from multiple departments at different institutes. This kind of activity is required to develop overall expertise in terms of various skills like technical skills, conceptual skills, planning, decision-making, troubleshooting, etc. The Institute has given funding to the following projects:
