iWSG III January 2011
NNIN International Winter School for Graduate Students (iWSG)
January 2011, IISc Bangalore
An advanced international school on the subject of the Science and Technology on Nanofabrication.
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, 10-12 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 third edition of iWSG took place at IISc Bangalore starting on Jan. 3, 2011 teaching began on the subject of Science and Technology of Nanofabrication. For the 2nd week, the societal experience took place in the region surrounding the village of Dharmasthala in the Belthangadi taluk of the Dakshina Kannada district in the state of Karnataka (southwest coastal India). The rural experience focused on early education and rural development needs and in particular on programs of the Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala Rural Development Project (SKDRDP) ( http://www.skdrdpindia.org/)
The selection strongly encourages participation from across the fields, independent of the subject of the course and particularly strives to assemble a group that resonates, can benefit from the experience, and are have the potential to be future leaders of science and technology.
