'''Visvesvaraya Institute of Advanced Technology''', also known as VIAT, is a research institute being constructed near [[Muddenahalli]], [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. The research institute was proposed on [[Engineer's Day]] 2008 in [[Muddenahalli]], the birthplace of legendary engineer, Sir [[Mokshagundam Visvesvarayya]]. The foundation stone was commemorated by MP [[Veerappa Moily]] in February 2010. The institute is located on {{convert|200|acre|km2}} of land nestled in the [[Nandi Hills, Karnataka|Nandi Hills]] and is expected to cost 600 crores.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110818032109/http://www.hindu.com/2008/12/12/stories/2008121254470600.htm ]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110122145909/http://www.hindu.com/edu/2009/09/07/stories/2009090750220300.htm ]</ref>

In the initial years, VIAT will focus on research in embedded technology, software quality, agricultural engineering and bioengineering.
