Knowledge Series
What is the IMPARC Knowledge Series?
The IMPARC Knowledge Series is a collaborative academic initiative under IMPARC (Ignited Minds Professional & Academic Research Consortium). It is a year-round programme of events — conferences, seminars, workshops, FDPs, and panel discussions — focused on promoting research, knowledge exchange, institutional collaboration, and interdisciplinary academic engagement at national and international levels.
How is the Knowledge Series different from the AAP?
The AAP (Academic Advancement Program) is a structured weekly webinar series specifically focused on NAAC criteria, NIRF rankings, and NEP 2020 for HEI administrators and IQAC teams — running every Saturday. The Knowledge Series is broader and research-driven — it encompasses conferences, multi-day FDPs, investor conclaves, panel discussions, and publishing partnerships. Both run under IME Academy and can be participated in independently.
Who can participate in Knowledge Series events?
Knowledge Series events are open to faculty members, research scholars, PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, UG/PG students, industry professionals, and academic administrators. Some events — like the Ideathon & Entrepreneurship Conclave — are specifically targeted at student innovators and budding entrepreneurs. Each event page specifies its target audience clearly.
How does the publishing pipeline work?
After each event, IMPARC opens a call for papers, articles, or book chapters themed around the event's subject. Submissions are peer-reviewed and published through Ignited Minds Journals (UGC CARE listed), HorizonBooks (ISBN edited volumes), or as conference proceedings. All publications receive ISBN/DOI as applicable. Participants are notified of submission deadlines at the event itself.
Can I propose a topic or suggest a speaker?
Absolutely. IMPARC actively welcomes topic proposals and speaker suggestions from the academic community. Email contact@imparc.org with a brief description of the proposed topic, a suggested speaker's profile, and the relevance to current academic themes. Our team reviews all proposals and responds within 5 working days.
