Event Date: 2 May 2025
On May 2, 2025, the GUSCIENTIA club of the School of Basic Sciences (SBS), Galgotias University, Greater Noida, hosted an international guest lecture aimed at enhancing academic exposure and global research collaboration. The event was meticulously coordinated by Prof. (Dr.) Sunita Sharma, Associate Dean of SBS, and Dr. Ritika Kubba, Assistant Professor.
The guest speaker for the lecture was Dr. Deepika Gaur, a distinguished researcher from Universidade de Vigo, Spain Dr. Gaur, an expert in renewable energy technologies, focused her presentation on perovskite solar cells and their pivotal role in achieving a clean and sustainable environment. Her lecture highlighted the potential of perovskite materials in revolutionizing solar energy solutions, emphasizing their efficiency, affordability, and adaptability compared to conventional solar cells.
Throughout the session, Dr. Gaur shared insights into the latest advancements in perovskite solar cell technology, elaborating on how these innovations can address global energy challenges. She underscored the importance of redirecting research efforts towards sustainable technologies to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Her thought-provoking discussion sparked significant interest among the students and faculty members present.
Dr. Gaur also took the opportunity to interact with the research scholars at Galgotias University. During this interactive session, she encouraged students to actively pursue global research opportunities, highlighting various European fellowships that support academic mobility and international exposure. She emphasized the value of international collaborations in broadening research perspectives and skillsets.
Expressing her admiration for the state-of-the-art infrastructure and research facilities at Galgotias University, Dr. Gaur discussed potential areas of collaboration between the two institutions. She suggested initiating joint research projects and academic partnerships, focusing on areas where both universities can significantly contribute. Dr. Sharma responded positively to this idea, recognizing the potential for fruitful international cooperation.
This interaction marked the beginning of a promising academic association between Galgotias University and Universidade de Vigo. The proposed collaboration is set to foster global research exchanges, student mobility, and collaborative innovation. By leveraging the strengths of both institutions, the partnership aims to enhance the academic experiences of students and faculty alike.
The event concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Prof. (Dr.) Sunita Sharma, who expressed gratitude to Dr. Gaur for sharing her expertise and inspiring the young researchers. The lecture not only enriched the academic environment at SBS but also opened new avenues for international collaboration.
This potential partnership with Universidade de Vigo underscores Galgotias University's commitment to global academic excellence and innovation. It marks a significant step towards establishing sustainable and impactful research networks, paving the way for future joint initiatives that will benefit students and scholars from both institutions.
