DU to conduct academic congress on Sept 6, 7

With the objective of bringing learning outside classrooms, Delhi University will hold a two-day academic congress on September 6 and 7.

Titled "Enabling the young: redefining education", the audience for the congress will comprise scientists, civil servants, lawyers, apart from students and teachers, said the DU Vice-Chancellor Professor Dinesh Singh.

"To give us an insight into the world of sports, we are planning to invite Saina Nehwal's coach, Pullela Gopichand, to the congress," he said.

The last date for submission of papers is August 31 and applicants will be notified of the acceptance of their papers by September 3. Registrations for the congress will start on September 5. The participants will explore a wide range of themes like peer learning, discovering rural India, integrating mind, body and heart, transcending disciplines, and redefining the classroom, among others.
