The newly established Anna University-Coimbatore would focus on creating different centres like Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Advanced Research, its Vice-Chancellor Dr R Radhakrishnan said here today.
Talking to reporters after assuming charge, Radhakrishnan said the centre for IPR would concentrate mainly on filing as many patents to give credit to Tamil Nadu in filing patents, copyrights, designs and trademarks.
Since students were doing extensive research and industries were producing more innovative products, which were not noticed in this post-liberalisation and globalisation era, the centre would help these sections in searching database and file patents, Radhakrishnan said.
It was proposed to introduce new courses on both full and part-time basis to bring awareness to the students, faculty, researchers, lawyers, SMEs in the area of IPR, he said.
The region-based university also proposed to create a centre for sustainable development and environment, which would conduct short-term courses to students, faculty and industries to undertake consultancy works and to submit proposals to various funding agencies on sustainable development of the region.
Similarly a centre for advanced research would be set up with support from the government and self-financing colleges through public and private partnership so that the facilities available in the institutions and industries would be fully utilised for mutual benefit, Radhakrishnan said.
