Join us at ICMTR 2026, the International Conference for Multidisciplinary Translational Research and Congress of the Association of Multidisciplinary Translational Researchers (AMTR), where bold ideas spark collaboration and research moves towards meaningful change.
Bringing together leading experts, emerging researchers, and innovators across biomedical sciences, engineering, data science, and technology, ICMTR creates a space to challenge boundaries, share discoveries, and explore solutions to society’s pressing challenges.
Connect across disciplines. Give your ideas a wider audience. Build partnerships that move knowledge into practice. Whether you are shaping your first research idea or advancing an established field, your perspective can help turn discovery into a healthier, more sustainable future.
Bring your curiosity. Share your vision. Be part of the impact.
The ICMTR brochure, awards and website were officially launched by Prof. (Dr.) P. Raveendran, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calicut.

Translational Research Award – Eligibility Criteria
The Translational Research Award recognises innovative research that demonstrates the potential to translate scientific discoveries into practical applications with meaningful benefits to society.
Eligibility and Evaluation Criteria:
- Translational Impact: The research must demonstrate a clear pathway from scientific discovery to practical application, addressing real-world challenges or unmet needs.
- Societal Impact: The research should demonstrate measurable or potential benefits to society, including improvements in healthcare, quality of life, sustainability, technology, or community well-being.
- Career Stage: Applications are open to PG dissertations, PhD scholars, PhD graduates, and early-career researchers within two years of completing their PhD.
- Patent Restriction: Research innovations, technologies, or outcomes that have already been patented are not eligible for consideration under this award.
Selection Priority: Applications will be evaluated primarily on their originality, translational potential, practical applicability, innovation, and societal impact rather than academic publications alone.
Important Note: Applicants must declare the patent status of their submitted research. Any submission involving an already patented innovation or research outcome will be disqualified from the award selection process.
6. Awardee Presence and Cash Prize Policy:
All awardees are required to be physically present at the award ceremony to receive their awards. In the event of an awardee’s absence during the award presentation, the associated cash prize will be redirected to the GYRA Fund to support the research, academic development, and capacity-building activities of young GYRA scholars.
