3. Preventive Healthcare & Wellness Education - Promoting proactive health awareness, neuro-wellbeing, and longevity science

These programmes aim to bridge the gap between academic learning, real-world application, and societal impact.

Centre of Excellence & AI Knowledge Society
As part of the partnership, a Centre of Excellence in AI and Preventive Health will be established at the IAR University campus, alongside the creation of an AI Knowledge Society to foster research, dialogue, and innovation.

Through Eros AIVidya and our partnership with IAR University, we are enabling Gen Z to develop not only AI and research capabilities, but also a strong foundation in preventive health and responsible innovation. This initiative reflects our belief that education must empower young people intellectually, ethically, and physically to build a stronger, healthier, and more innovative India.”

Brig. P. C. Vyas, Director, Institute of Advanced Research added: “This collaboration strengthens our mission to deliver future-oriented education that combines academic depth with practical relevance. Partnering with Eros Innovation enables us to offer our students meaningful exposure to AI, research, and preventive healthcare within a structured university environment.”
