BITSAA academic council aims to build an eco-system where BITS alumni practicing in niche research/technology areas can get together, leverage each others network, and facilitate, among other things:

• Mutually beneficial collaboration on projects across organizations they represent.
• Principled spotting of research groups that can effectively provide solutions for hard problems  that organizations (funding agencies, etc.) wish to solve.
• Organization of international and regional conferences, special issues in journals, etc.
