NNIN International Winter School for Graduate Students (iWSG)

December 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.
