Summer Research Fellowship Programme

Introduction:
Summer Fellowships are awarded to bright students and motivated teachers to work with Fellows of the Academy on research-oriented projects. Starting on a small scale in 1995, this programme has, in recent years, grown enormously in size and reputation. Approximately 2000 such fellowships are now offered to students and teachers in a year with travel and living expenses paid. Announcements inviting applications appear in Resonance and Current Science around October, and the selected applicants, notified by February-March, can avail the fellowships for two months any time during the calendar year, preferably during the summer. Since inception, about 7029 students and 933 teachers have availed these fellowships.

--William Harvey

It is always noteworthy that all those who seriously study this science [the theory of numbers] conceive a sort of passion for it.
-- Carl Friedrich Gauss

I have no satisfaction in formulas unless I feel their arithmetical magnitude.
-- Baron William Thomson Kelvin

I try to identify myself with the atoms ... I ask what I would do If I were a carbon atom or a sodium atom.

-- Niels Bohr

A scientist is happy, not in resting on his attainments but in the steady acquisition of fresh knowledge.

-- Max Planck

Nature is made in such a way as to be able to be understood. Or perhaps I should put it-more correctly-the other way around, and say that we are made in such a way as to be able to understand Nature.
