Nirma University is one of the leading universities in Gujarat and also in India using innovations in Teaching Learning tools as well as establishing itself as an important centre for research. The University gives focused attention to promoting research in diversified fields. To enhance and strengthen research activities, it is necessary to have state-of-the-art infrastructure and sophisticated analytical instrumentation facility which plays important role in interdisciplinary research activities.
This sophisticated instrumentation facility has high-end instruments which provide a platform for young scholars to develop their skills in handling the latest instruments and is also helpful to master’s students, doctoral students, and faculty members who are involved in pursuing research activities. The facility helps them carry out cutting-edge interdisciplinary research of national and international importance. The centre facilitates procurement of high-end instruments as it requires huge investment, maintenance as well as expertise, which is otherwise difficult for individual researchers. Apart from this, the centre offers its services to external researchers working in academia, research centres and industries. In line with the vision of the University to do overall development of its students, serve society and achieve new milestones in various fields of research and development, the University has decided to set up a Centre for Advanced Instrumentation (CAI). This central facility will enhance the research activities and outcomes of the University.
