The Science and Engineering Research Board of the Government of India has started the SERB Accelerate Vigyan Scheme 2023. Those who want to get the grant under high-end workshops, training, or internship programmes can fill out an application. SERB can help eligible professors or scientists who want to put on a workshop or offer a training and skills internship. More information about both programmes is given below. You need to look at the next sections for more information, such as the eligibility requirements, the application process, the benefits, and any other relevant information.
What is the SERB Accelerate Vigyan Scheme 2023?
Under the Accelerate Vigyan Scheme, the Science and Engineering Research Board has begun two new programmes. “Training and Skill Internship” and “High-End Workshop” are the names of the programme. Faculty or scientists who are interested in any of the programmes and want to get a grant can apply. Online is the way to fill out the application form. For both programmes, you can fill out an online application form twice a year. Right now, you can fill out an online application for the summer season. The application must be sent in by February 28, 2022. Get the detailed information quickly and send in the form.
