INSPIRE: A Programme for School Children
It is our great pleasure to announce Department of Science & Technology
(DST), GOI sponsored Innovation in
Scientific
Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE) Science Internship Camp to be
held in Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, from April 19-23, 2010.
INSPIRE is an innovative program of DST for attraction of talent to
science. The basic objective of the INSPIRE camp is to communicate to
the young attendees the excitement of creative pursuits of science and
attract talent to the study of science at an early stage and build the
required critical human resource pool for strengthening and expanding
science and technology system in R&D base.
Under the above scheme SMVDU
is organizing its first INSPIRE science internship summer camp. This
camp is meant for the top 1% performers in class 10th board
examination, and who, are presently pursuing science in XI and XII
standard. All the students will be hosted on our campus. They will be
given exposure with invited Fellows of various science academies,
awardees and scientists of national and international repute who
will interact with the students through lectures and interactive
sessions. This would be followed by personal interactions in an
exclusive setup in this camp.
Selected
candidates will be accommodated in the SMVDU Jammu campus during the
camp. They will be eligible for TA (as permissible) free local
hospitality.
