• Provide a forum for postgraduate research presentations, discussions and debates.
• Promote postgraduate research.
• Disseminate research findings in collaboration with other relevant institutions.
• Stimulate interactions among postgraduate students and scientists of different universities and institutions within Sri Lanka and the region.
