Annual Work Seminar (AWS) Series

AWS series is an initiative by DRILS for fostering the culture of deliberating and acquainting research team on the science that is done at CIMPS, Center for Innovation in Molecular and Pharmaceutical Sciences. It is intended to instill in researchers to articulate their work succinctly and gain confidence in delivering apposite scientific presentations. It’s a scientific forum intended to discuss: one’s research findings, learn and understand others research directions, new ideas and troubleshooting if any.

AWS platform provides opportunity for the researchers to talk about their research work carried over the past year and also the work intended to be done. A short abstract of the presentation (250-300 words) is circulated among the team a week prior to the presentation and the researcher is encouraged to present for 30-45 min. only followed by 15 min of question and answers session. The AWS is scheduled to be held on the second and fourth Monday of every month.
