Applications
Applications are open until Tuesday 31 October 2023.
The Imperial-IISc Partnership Fund aims to promote and support innovative research collaborations between the two institutions.
The objective is to support the development of early-stage projects that, either through establishing new links or strengthening existing ones, are likely to lead to collaborations that are innovative, sustainable and mutually beneficial.
Proposals include exchange of academics and students, workshops, pilot studies, data generation and other activities. The goal is for these collaborations to support IISc and Imperial academics to initiate and pursue collaborations that may lead to new science and future applications for external funding.
