iWSG I Dec 2008
NNIN International Winter School for Graduate Students (iWSG)
December 2008, IIT Kanpur
Organic Electronics and Optoelectronics
The international Winter School 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 or more 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 2008 iWSG took place at Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur starting on Dec. 3, 2008 with the societal experience in and around Paralakhemundi at the Orissa-Andhra Pradesh border in southern India. The subject of the course was "Organic Electronics and Optoelectronics". The rural experience focused on tribal living and rural needs.
