Better Opportunities
for Young Scientists in Chosen Areas of Science
and Technology (BOYSCAST)
It
has been well recognized that in order to keep
abreast with latest developments in science
& technology, Indian scientists and technologists,
particularly the young scientists should have
opportunities to interact with the international
scientific community and get first hand information
of the developments taking place at the international
level. The “Better Opportunities for Young
Scientists in Chosen Areas
of Science & Technology (BOYSCAST)”
programme of the Department of Science &
Technology provides opportunities to the young
Indian scientists/technologists who hold regular
positions in recognized science & technology
institutes in India for visiting international
institutions to enable them to interact with
scientists/technologists abroad, get exposure
to latest research techniques, participate and
contribute to the latest developments in specially
chosen areas of science & technology. Under
the BOYSCAST programme, fellowships of three
to twelve months duration are provided every
year to the selected young Indian scientists/technologists
for conducting advanced research/undergoing
specialized training in overseas research laboratories/institutes
in chosen frontline areas of science & technology.
It is envisaged that the expertise gained by
these young scientists/technologists during
the Fellowship period will lead to initiation/strengthening
of the national programmes in these areas as
well as further generation and spread of expertise
at the national institutes.
Applications are invited from Indian nationals
for the award of BOYSCAST Fellowship every year.ometallics;
supramolecular chemistry; manufacturing engineering;
computer and information science, earthquake
engineering and structural dynamics. The selected
young scientist are also encouraged to attend
scientific conferences and visit other institutions
in the host country. Candidates selected under
this scheme are expected to further generate
and spread their expertise at the S&T laboratories/
Institutes across the nation.
