TARGET PARTICIPANTS

The participants will be selected among Bachelor, Master students, Ph.D. scholars, Post-doctoral fellows and Young researchers (below 35 years of age; this is not a hard limit but an indication) from India and South/Southeast/Southwest Asia, and Africa.

The expected number of attendees will be 35 (30 minimum and 40 at maximum; the actual number will depend on the available budget) in order to have a strong interaction between the students and their supervisors. The aim is that about 50% of the participants are from India and the rest 50% are from other countries in the regions mentioned above. The organizers shall try to have a proper balance among male and female students. The selection would be based on academic and scientific merits, and not on nationalities or gender.
