The Doctoral Programme provides a dedicated forum for PhD students to present and discuss their ideas, ongoing or planned research, and achieved results in an open atmosphere. It consisted of presentations by the PhD students to get constructive feedback, advice, and suggestions from the research advisory board, researchers, and other PhD students. Each PhD student was assigned to an experienced researcher from the research advisory board to act as a mentor and provide detailed feedback and advice on their intended and ongoing research. This year, four best submissions were selected for the Doctoral Programme. We thank the students for their participation and the mentors for their valuable feedback.
