S.N Bose Scholar Program

About Organisation:

The Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) established under an agreement between the Governments of India and the United States of America in March 2000, is an autonomous bilateral organization jointly funded by both the Governments that promotes Science, Technology, Engineering and Innovation through substantive interaction among government, academia and industry. The Department of Science & Technology, Governments of India and the U.S. Department of States are respective nodal departments.

About Fellowship:

To nurture future innovators and thought leaders, the Science & Engineering Board (SERB), Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India, the Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) and WINStep Forward have partnered to develop a dynamic and transformative student exchange program between premier institutions in India and the United States. The program is named in honor of Satyendra Nath Bose (1894 - 1974), a visionary Indian physicist best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s. The class of particles that obey Bose-Einstein statistics, Bosons, was named after him.

The Program is envisaged to:

• provide an opportunity to Indian students to experience world-class research facilities in leading U.S. institutions;
• Encourage and motivate students to take up research as a career;
• Pave the way for the next generation of pioneers and innovators in science and technology to interact with each other, and;
• Build long-term R&D linkages and collaborations cutting across boundaries around the globe.
