Overview
With a view to intensify interaction and the scientific cooperation between Indian and Bulgarian Scientists/Institutions, Department of Science and Technology (DST) for the Government of the Republic of India and the Ministry of Education, Youth and Science (MEYS) for the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria, extend support for joint research projects involving exchange of visits, workshops/conferences, under the Indo-Bulgarian Bilateral Scientific Cooperation programme with special emphasis on further academic training and specialisation of scientists/scholars.
ELIGIBILITY / PROJECT PARTICIPANTS AND SUBJECT AREAS:
Faculty, Scientists and Academicians belonging to Universities, Deemed Universities and Research Institutes having permanent positions can apply as Principal Investigator (PI). In order to qualify for such funding, investigators are required to have a concrete and sound research proposal on any of the following areas:
