5.Centre for Ocean Research
Centre for Ocean Research (COR) is one of the premier research and innovation centres managed by Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology to focus on Marine Science Research and Technology. COR was established in 2007 as a joint initiative by National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) Chennai and Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology to encourage targeted sectors of Ocean Research. The main role of the centre is to facilitate a platform to the student communities from the Schools and Departments to utilize the high end instrumentation related to ocean science and research. COR is supported by the Department of Science and Technology for establishing the FIST facility, and recognized as the nodal center for Marine Biotechnological Studies by the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) and established with Earth Science & Technology Cell (ESTC).
