Inspiring paper by Sofia Rafaella Greaves , Mario Pansera and Javier Lloveras arguing that art-science initiatives foster reflexivity, democratise expertise and empowers researchers to engage with uncertainty. And how impact and change is constrained by an institution’s “enclosure of uncertainty” https://lnkd.in/dbgy3-hZ Research developed in collaboration with #JRC EU Science, Research and Innovation #postgrowth #artscience #transformation #uncertainty #impact #PNS #futuremaking #transdisciplinary #institutions

Indian Universities and Institutions are witnessing fundamental change and focusing on research and development, which may lead to a broader classification of Indian universities as teaching universities or research universities. Many of my colleagues and friends in academia feel that it may be required today because of 1. Huge Infrastructure and investment are required to build research universities. 2. An ecosystem is required to build over a long period of time to build research universities. 3. Need faculties to carry forward research and development over a period of time to build research universities. 4. Vision required by leaders to build research universities. and many more e.g.: - https://lnkd.in/d5GiK5Nc

37 Amrita Faculty and Researchers recognized among World’s Top 2% Scientists in Stanford’s 2025 Rankings. Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has once again been honoured on the global stage of science and innovation. Thirty-seven of our faculty members have been featured in Stanford University’s 2025 list of the world’s top 2% scientists, marking the sixth consecutive year that Amrita Researchers have earned this recognition. The Stanford–Elsevier global database is considered one of the most respected measures of scientific achievement. It recognizes researchers based on rigorous metrics such as the H-index, citations, and composite indicators of impact, shining a light on those whose work has advanced knowledge in meaningful ways. This year’s recognition is spread across three categories: • 13 Amrita faculty were honored for their career-long impact, acknowledging a lifetime of contributions to science. • 36 faculty were recognized for their single-year impact (2024–25), reflecting their recent work across diverse disciplines. • 12 scholars achieved the rare distinction of dual recognition, appearing in both categories for their sustained contributions Among those recognized, four are distinguished Amrita alumni — Dr. Maneesha Vinodini Ramesh, Prof. Raghu Raman, Dr. Prema Nedungadi, and Dr. Rajesh Kannan Megalingam. Speaking on this achievement, Dr. P. Venkat Rangan, Vice Chancellor of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, said: “Behind every number is a story of years of dedication, inquiry, and perseverance. To see 37 of our faculty recognized on a global platform like Stanford’s list is deeply inspiring. It reflects not only their personal excellence but also Amrita’s ethos of research guided by compassion and a commitment to solving society’s most pressing challenges.” Amrita’s recognized scientists come from a wide range of fields, including medicine, engineering, computing, business, public health, biotechnology, dentistry, and physical sciences. Their work spans from cutting-edge medical innovations to sustainable technologies and socially impactful discoveries. #top2percent #Amrita #Professors #Research #stanford #Innovation #TopList #bestintheworld #Publications #citation
