The Centre of Excellence in Nanotechnology (CoEN) was started at Assam down town University to initiate research and development activities in Nanotechnology. Apart from research in Applied Nanotechnology for the development of Nanotechnology based products, the CoEN also concentrate in knowledge dissemination through workshops and training programs. The CoEN is directing its efforts to incubate start-ups with low-cost Nanotechnology based products. The CoEN operates on a unique concept which can be termed as PoMEGreNaTe or Poor Men's Green Nanotechnology. Considering the future prospects of nanotechnology, countries across the world are investing heavily into this sector. Assam down town University plans to be among the top research organizations undertaking research in nanotechnology in the north eastern part of India. The Centre of Excellence in Nanotechnology (COEN) is started in the Panikheiti Campus of the Assam down town University as a part of this plan.
The vision of the CoEN at AdtU is to uplift Nanotechnology research and innovation in the North East and the entire country.
To conduct, encourage and support Nanoscience and Nanotechnology awareness, education, research and development, nanotechnology-based product design; assist in the transfer of technology to the industrial sector in order to improve the quality of life and the environment.
