ABOUT UNIVERSITY
Karnatak University has achieved phenomenal growth during the last two decades in
various areas of scientific research. Collective efforts of all the Departments
have been recognised by major funding agencies in India. After attaining the five
star status in NAAC accreditation, Karnatak University was granted the Centre of
Excellence in Polymer Science 1998-2002. This was followed by the establishment
of Centre of Advanced studies (CAS Phase I and II) in the Department of Physics
and Departmental Special Assistance for Department of Botany. All the science Departments
had UGC-SAP and COSIST programmes, DST-FIST programmes during the period of 2000-2012
and Department of Biotechnology and Microbiology has been sanctioned DST-FIST for
the period 2017-19.
Based on the scientific research output, DST, New Delhi granted the PURSE (Promotion
of University Research and Scientific Excellence) programme and it has now entered
the second phase. In view of the continuous highest NAAC accreditations, Karnatak
University attained the UPE status (University with Potential for Excellence) in
2013. The thrust area of investigation in this programme is "Antitumor Activity
- An Integrated Approach" with the participation of six Science Departments
on the campus. A scientific investigation in the area of material research and its
applications was also awarded the financial assistance under the CPEPA (Centre of
Potential for Excellence in Particular Areas) programme by UGC in 2013. Karnatak
University conducted an International Conference in 2015 focussing on biomedical
applications dealing with regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and stem cell
research using Direct Digital Manufacturing and Polymers.
With this background, Karnatak University has established the Innovation and Incubation
Centre (IIC) at Karnataka University Campus, Dharwad in 2016. It provides
a unique platform for Industrialists, Teachers, Scholars, Students and Common man
in and around the region, to imagine, test and cultivate the innovation ideas, and
translate them into valuable products to serve the society.

ABOUT IIC
Karnatak University Innovation and Incubation Centre (KU-IIC) is a
brain child of our Hon’ble Vice Chancellor, Prof. Promod B. Gai and was established
in the year 2016. The main aim of the IIC is to ensure the collaboration with corporate,
industries, knowledge hubs and other socio-economic related agencies within and
outside India.
This liaison Centre based on the University Campus is empowered to spread across
efficient human resources and affordable knowledge capital and technological tools
required for the corporate world. It also works in the reverse to receive such knowledge
and technology for the betterment of Indian society at large. Considering its developmental
activities, this liaison Centre is visualized to serve the needs of this region
to enhance its developmental capabilities in multiple ways. This Centre functions
as a collective of brilliant minds drawn from different disciplines.
Vision
Pursuit of Excellence, Innovation and Services
