Research Training Fellowship for Developing Country Scientists (RTF-DCS)

India has a vast and excellent infrastructure for Education and Research in Science, Technology and Engineering with over 550 universities, around 3400 engineering & technology institutes, ~45,000 science colleges and an extensive network of ~2500 R&D institutions, mostly Government supported, which cover virtually every branch and facet of research and technology. In order to help the scientists of the developing countries in their capacity building in the fields of Science & Technology through their affiliation with the Indian Centres of Scientific Excellence, the NAM S&T Centre has initiated a new Fellowship Scheme titled ‘Research Training Fellowship for Developing Country Scientists (RTF-DCS)’ with full financial support of the Government of India, Department of Science & Technology (DST).

 

20 Fellowships for 6 months duration in the areas of Agricultural  Sciences; Biological and Medical Sciences,; Chemical Sciences;  Physical Sciences and Mathematics; Earth Sciences; Engineering;  Materials, Minerals and Metallurgy; and Science, Technology and Development are now available to the scientists and researchers of any developing country (except India) below 40 years of age, who possess at least a Master’s Degree in any Natural Science subject or equivalent degree in Engineering or Medicine and allied disciplines. The applicant should be presently working in a National R&D/Academic Institution in his/her home country, and should get the application endorsed by the Head of the Institution with a confirmation that if selected, he/she will be sanctioned leave for the Fellowship period and will join his/her duties back in the institution on completion of the Fellowship in India.
