Agricultural Research Symposium (AGRES)

Agriculture Research Symposium (AGRES) is a forum for our undergraduates to present the findings of the research project done by them to an audience including scientific and industrial personnel. In this year, it is organized for the 18^th consecutive year in 2019. The research project is conducted by the students in the 4th year of the degree program and its covers 10 credits as a partial fulfilment of the degree. AGRES provides opportunity for students to learn about the way of conducting a scientific research, writing a scientific research paper and presenting in a scientific forum in front of such a gathering. Organizing such a scientific event, is a challenge. Therefore, students learn how to plan, organize, lead and control/manage such activities in better way. And also this event opens a path for the students to improve many skills such as team work, interpersonal skills, time management, financial handling, problem solving and creative thinking as well. For this year, the AGRES has been planned to be held on 07^th January 2020 for its 18^th year.

Biosystems Technology Research Symposium

The Faculty of Agriculture and Plantation Management is constantly driven to bridge timely technological gaps in the domains of agricultural technology, bioenergy, electronics and electrical technology, environmental technology, food technology, natural resources management, and sustainability. To this end, the Faculty recognizes the importance of providing a much-required platform for its undergraduates to showcase their final-year project outcomes. As a firm believer in the practical implementation of theoretical research, the Faculty has organized the “Biosystems Technology Research Symposium- 2023” on 10^th February 2023 at the Faculty of Agriculture and Plantation Management, Wayamba University of Sri Lanka. As an extension of our well-recognized work, the Faculty organizes an exhibition titled “Bio-Systems Technology Exhibition (B-TEx) – 2023” to showcase the innovations of the undergraduate projects. This event, therefore, expects to,

• Motivate the undergraduates toward translational research,
• Raise awareness of the Bio-Systems Engineering degree program, and
• Seek funding opportunities for noteworthy products.
