Meetings & Workshops Office

Meetings & Workshops Office

The Meetings and Workshops Office is a joint collaboration of Ashoka Global Research Alliances (AGRA) from Ashoka University, Sonipat, and ICTS, Bengaluru. The Meetings and Workshops Office will host thematic workshops, expert talks, and forums that encourage global academic dialogue.

 

The Meetings and Workshops Office at Ashoka University is dedicated to fostering vibrant intellectual exchange and transformative collaboration across disciplines. Our mission is to convene interdisciplinary meetings and workshops that transcend traditional academic boundaries.

The programmes are designed to catalyse creative solutions to complex global challenges, advance the liberal arts tradition, and enrich the university’s scholarly community. Through these efforts, we aspire to position Ashoka University as a hub for intellectual curiosity, rigorous inquiry, and meaningful impact in the broader world.

In its inaugural year (2025–2026), the office will host two flagship 2-week workshops under the ICTS–Ashoka University partnership in January 2026 and July 2026 in Mathematical Sciences and Cosmology and Astro-particle Physics, respectively.
