Centres of Excellence

To promote multi-disciplinary academic as well as practice-oriented research, MDI Gurgaon has set up three Centres of Excellence (CoEs) in 2021. These CoEs encourage the formation of strong research groups for high impact on various stakeholders. These groups support research in broad fields that MDI Gurgaon gives priority to. They give faculty members “leverage” in raising resources for research in times when MDI Gurgaon and external research funding represent only one component of the funding required.
 
At MDI Gurgaon, a CoE is a consortia of MDI Gurgaon academics, industry experts and member companies that augment knowledge and industry practices in ‘the areas of expertise’. These Centres support the spirit of knowledge creation, insight and implementation. The defining feature of ‘expertise area’ and a CoE in the area is the collaboration between a number of experts within and without MDI Gurgaon so that a distinct ‘expertise destiny’ is clearly present. MDI Gurgaon faculty members across various functional areas are actively engaged in research on a number of subjects closely aligned with their areas of teaching, training and consulting. Apart from functional areas, MDI Gurgaon encourages the development of CoEs so that these can become a focal point of MDI Gurgaon’s research effort and promotion.
