IMPETUS International Research Symposium 2026
IMPETUS International Research Symposium 2026 was initiated as a pioneering academic endeavor by the IEEE Uva Wellassa University Student Branch, with the guidance and support of the Faculty of Applied Sciences, Uva Wellassa University of Sri Lanka. The event commenced with a strong emphasis on establishing a research-driven academic culture within the faculty, aiming to create a platform that encourages ethical, human-centered, and multidisciplinary innovation.
The initial phase of the symposium focused on strategic planning and academic groundwork. This included the formation of advisory, program, and organizing committees, the identification of symposium tracks, and the finalization of the central theme, “Humanity First: Steering Innovation for Ethical Impact.” These foundational activities marked the official commencement of the symposium and ensured alignment with international academic standards and IEEE guidelines.
Following this, the symposium entered its preparatory and outreach stage, during which key structural components were defined. The proposed hybrid format was introduced to balance local engagement with global accessibility, enabling participation from both national and international researchers. Concurrently, mechanisms for abstract submission, review processes, and academic moderation were outlined to maintain scholarly rigor and transparency.
As the symposium progresses, several upcoming milestones are planned to further advance its objectives. The abstract submission phase is scheduled to open, inviting undergraduate and postgraduate researchers to present original research and innovative ideas across multiple disciplines. This will be followed by a structured peer-review process, acceptance notifications, and camera-ready submissions, ensuring the academic quality of all contributions.
Subsequent phases will focus on participant registration, technical session planning, and coordination with keynote speakers and panelists. The inaugural session is planned to be held physically at the university, symbolizing institutional engagement and academic significance, while the technical sessions and closing ceremony will be conducted online to maximize reach and inclusivity.
Overall, the IMPETUS International Research Symposium 2026 is progressing systematically from its initiation toward its execution phase. With clearly defined upcoming activities and a committed academic and student leadership structure, the symposium is positioned to evolve into a flagship international research event that strengthens multidisciplinary collaboration, ethical innovation, and academic excellence.
