Bioscience research in India is growing at an unprecedented rate. This workshop highlights several opportunities created as a result of increased funding from the Indian government and International funding agencies, formation of new research institutes across the country, and attractive initiatives for new investigators and young scientists. The event will focus on questions encountered by postdocs from US and Europe looking at India for academic faculty positions. The workshop will also highlight opportunities for collaborative research with/in India, and should be helpful to established scientists interested in working with Indian laboratories. This is a unique opportunity to meet with young and dynamic scientists who are involved in building new scientific institutes.

The 2-hour event includes presentations by Indian scientists and an interactive question session. The event is open to all nationalities and to anyone interested in exploring collaborations and careers in India.

Information about research opportunities in India is available on the website www.indiabioscience.org
