Research Symposiums

From time to time, APRU sponsors or organizes research symposiums to provide networking platforms which facilitate knowledge exchange and professional development of APRU researchers. Some of the past symposiums covered topics such as brain and mind, geology and earthquake studies, digital libraries, microgravity and infectious diseases.
