The annual Quark techno-management festival at BITS Pilani-Goa, taking place from February 1-3, 2013, highlights the institution's focus on integrating academic theory with practical experience in engineering and innovation. The event features a range of competitions, workshops, lectures, and showcases aimed at fostering collaboration among engineering, science, and management disciplines, with notable past guests like Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Nobel laureates. Quark has evolved since its inception in 2006 into a significant platform for budding innovators, and the 2013 edition aims to build on its previous successes.
