We at SRM University-AP give top priority to research which makes an impact on society. Thus, we will focus on cutting-edge technologies by establishing Centres of Excellence on Cloud Computing, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, 5G Technologies, Weather Forecast, Satellite Technology, Renewable Energy, Energy Storage Devices, Additive Manufacturing, Gene Editing, and Blue Economy, which is unique in the country.

The passionate and ambitious students and the high-profile faculty of the university have the desire to work with the best possible minds in the world. Thus we have established international collaborations with MIT and the University of California, Berkeley. We are evolving national and international partnerships on mega projects, giving us leadership in a few areas of Science and Technology. The university is partnering with the Indian Railways to develop hydrogen-powered fuel cell-based trains. To conduct joint research, we have established industrial collaborations with some industries, such as TITAN and Amara Raja Batteries Limited (ARBL).

We believe universities and educational institutions must trigger the thought process and inquisitiveness to go beyond the classrooms and textbooks. Expanding the frontiers of knowledge should be the top priority of educational institutions. The perception of higher education, whether seen as merely imparting classroom education to the youth or extending its benefits through qualitative research, makes the difference between Universities and World-class Universities. There is a dire need to emphasise the pride and prestige associated with research to make the students feel honoured and excited about their scientific pursuits. Thus, SRM University-AP will provide opportunities for students, research scholars and faculty members to fulfil their passion for science & technology and conduct research.
