NNIN International Winter School for Graduate Students (iWSG)

Dec 2009

IIT Mumbai

Nanoelectronics (with emphasis on Silicon)

The international Winter Schools for Graduate Students (iWSG) are organized jointly by NNIN and institutions in third world countries with the goal of promoting international bridge building and understanding by bringing together students and faculty in an intense teaching and societal experience. Each year, 10 graduate students and faculty participate in a rigorous course in an emerging and research-intensive interdisciplinary direction that is not part of US graduate curriculums. This lasts six days and includes laboratory sections. This is followed by travel to a rural part of the country where students spend time observing, experiencing and discussing the societal challenges and the part science and technology can play. A large group of students from the host country participate in the teaching part and a smaller group joins in the rural experience.

The second edition of iWSG took place at IIT Mumbai (Bombay) starting on Nov. 30 with the societal experience in Khargone district of Madhya Pradesh in central India. The subject of the teaching was “Nanoelectronics (with an emphasis on Silicon)”. The rural experience focused on early education and rural needs.

The third of the winter schools, in 2010, will take place at Indian Institute of Sciences, Bangalore (Bengaluru) on the subject of “Science and Technology of Nanofabrication.” The competition for selection of US students takes place in the beginning of August with selections announced in first week of October. US citizens and permanent residents pursuing science and engineering graduate degrees are eligible to participate. The selection strongly encourages participation from across the fields, independent of the subject of the course and particularly strives to assemble a group that resonates, can benefit from the experience, and are have the potential to be future leaders of science and technology. Please look for future announcements at the NNIN website.
