The Microsoft Research India Academic Research Summit 2026 is a vibrant convergence of ideas, bringing together leading researchers, faculty, and innovators from across the country. The summit, over two days, fosters rich dialogue and meaningful connections, creating a platform where academia and industry come together to exchange perspectives, spark collaborations, and reflect on the evolving landscape of research in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venue<\/strong>: Microsoft Research India, Vigyan, 9, Lavelle Road, Ashok Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560001<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event features inspiring plenary talks, engaging technical sessions, and interactive discussions across a wide range of domains\u2014from advances in AI and systems to research with real-world and societal impact. Speakers and participants alike contribute to an atmosphere of curiosity, openness, and intellectual energy, making the summit a shared experience of learning and exploration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
