Women Involvement in Science and Engineering Research (WISER) Applications accepted throughout the year. Indo-German Science & Technology Centre (IGSTC), established by the Department of Science & Technology (DST), Government of India and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), Government of Germany invites applications from women researchers in India/Germany to participate and collaborate in an ongoing R&D&I project without applying for fresh project grant in partnering countries.
Collaborative Research Programme
CSIR invites joint proposals from CSIR laboratories in association with scientific institutions/universities under the ‘New Idea Fund’- for support from CSIR. These proposals are meant for pursuing hitherto unreported novel ideas having far reaching scientific or industrial implication. The scheme is for individuals or a group of collaborating scientists and is non-transferable. The proposal can be submitted either in the month of September or March. The proposal format can be obtained from Head, RDPD, Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), Rafi Marg, New Delhi 110 001.
Mobility Grant
The programme “Max Planck-India Mobility Grant” (MPIMG) is open to all Max Planck Institutes (MPI) and to all research institutions in India. Qualified, promising Indian postdocs (so-called “young faculty” in India) who are already able to demonstrate a recognizable scientific profile are eligible to be nominated for the Max Planck India Mobility Grants. Nominees should have obtained their doctorate no longer than four years ago (for a doctorate in medicine: no longer than six years). A prior period as a guest at a Max Planck Institute is not a necessary precondition. Candidates for Max Planck-India Mobility Grant must be affiliated to an Indian research institution.
Empowerment and Equity Opportunities for Excellence in Science (EMEQ) scheme
Call for proposals: May 30th, 2023. The Empowerment and Equity Opportunities for Excellence in Science (EMEQ) scheme is aimed at providing research support to researchers belonging to the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe in undertaking research in frontier areas of science and engineering.
BOLT Grant Program
Applications will open starting August 8 and close on September 2. The Internet Society Foundation takes a futurist approach to support the development of innovative methods, technologies, and infrastructure that seek to enhance Internet connectivity and access. The Foundation aims to support teams of creatives, technologists, researchers, and social/cultural workers to design and build prototypes and pilots that will bring into reality innovative solutions to Internet connectivity particularly among communities where current technologies are unavailable or not readily accessible.
World Data Science Initiative
Application Deadline: August 25, 2023 WDSI awards subsidies and grants to institutions to cover substantial costs involved in the accreditation and procurement of advanced teaching-learning resources and student certification on future-ready vendor-neutral and cross-platform knowledge standards. The key WDSI objective is to get universities in many emerging countries launch degree programs in data science, artificial intelligence and blockchain, and achieve the world-class faster by helping them embrace and adopt the accreditation-certification combination.
