WISER Programme for Women researchers in joint R&D Pro

A first-of-its-kind programme to promote women in the field of research and development through lateral entry was launched.
The programme called Women’s Involvement in Science and Engineering Research (WISER) program was launched by Indo-German Science & Technology Centre (IGSTC) for encouraging women researchers in joint R&D projects.
This program by IGSTC, a joint initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), Government of Germany, will support women scientists holding regular/long-term research positions in academia or research institutes/industry. Involvement in the program will be possible through lateral entry.
There is neither requirement for break-in-career nor any age limit, and it will enable easy participation.
IGSTC is going to support the awardees with a maximum amounting to Rs. 39 L from the Indian side & € 48000 from the German side. The WISER program offers 20 awards per year.
