The Institute for Interdisciplinary Research (IIR) is envisioned as a global centre dedicated to advancing knowledge, creativity, and collaboration across disciplinary boundaries.
Rooted in a commitment to excellence, inclusivity, and global responsibility, IIR’s mission rests on three foundational pillars:
Pillar 1:
Advancing Cross-Boundary Research and Innovation
IIR is committed to fostering cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research that brings together diverse fields — from the natural and social sciences to the humanities, arts, and design. By creating a space for dialogue between different modes of inquiry, IIR supports new ways of understanding complex challenges and generating transformative ideas.
- Encourages collaboration across disciplines to address global and local issues
- Supports integrative research that challenges conventional frameworks and expands the frontiers of knowledge
- Cultivates an environment of intellectual freedom, critical inquiry, and creativity

The Logo Story
Our Guiding Principle
The logo of the Institute for Interdisciplinary Reslarch draws its inspiration from the Fibonacci spiral, a universal pattern found in nature, art, architecture, and science. Its harmonious proportions have long been associated with beauty, growth, and the infinite potential of creation. Here, the Fibonacci spiral is also envisioned as a shankh (conch shell) — an ancient symbol that resonates across cultures as the carrier of cosmic sound and energy. The conch’s call has traditionally signified new beginnings, the dispelling of ignorance, and the awakening of higher
