“The body achieves what the mind believes”
“Believing in yourself is at the foundation of all physical therapy success stories. Therapists understand that while everyone has physical limitations, people who believe in their potential set themselves up for the most significant success”
In an era defined by rapid transformation, interconnected economies, and global challenges that transcend borders, the role of academia has never been more vital. Knowledge today is not confined to classrooms or research labs—it is a dynamic force that drives innovation, shapes societies, and steers humanity toward sustainable progress. The synergy of ideas, disciplines, and cultures is what enables us to confront issues such as climate change, technological disruption, economic inequality, and the pursuit of peace and justice. Harnessing the collective power of education, research, and innovation plays a crucial role in building a sustainable, inclusive, and progressive global society where knowledge serves as the cornerstone of human advancement.
The conference formed the dynamic exchange of ideas from various disciplines—i.e. Management, social science, humanities. But we cannot ignore the importance of physiotherapy, when technostress is rapidly growing due to technological advancements. Henceforth global progress cannot acknowledge without covering the area of physiotherapy.
The conference proceedings cum edited book are a collection of research papers presented during the Two-day International conference on “Synergizing Knowledge: The Role of Academia in Global Progress” during June 12-13, 2025, in Hybrid Mode. The efforts are made to understand that in the synergy of knowledge lies the power to reimagine societies, redefine possibilities, and reshape the world."
More than 35 papers were received and presented during the conference. The papers were objectively evaluated and assessed by the conference convenors and board members with conference theme.
It is our hope that the discussions and exchanges presented here in the book will inspire actionable insights, strengthen global networks of knowledge, and ignite a renewed commitment to harnessing education and research for the betterment of society worldwide in the areas of physiotherapy.
