About The ARS 2024
The Annual Research Session (ARS) is a key event on the Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka (SUSL) calendar, providing a platform for the academic community to share their latest research while offering both postgraduate and undergraduate students the opportunity to present their scholarly work.
ARS promotes knowledge exchange across various disciplines, primarily within the eight faculties of SUSL. It also serves as an excellent networking opportunity for young academics who have recently completed postgraduate studies at esteemed institutions, both locally and internationally.
