The Virtual Town Hall series aims to initiate discussion on contemporary themes in life science research in India. The themes will cover themes such as grants and fellowships, data and policy, education, and evolving aspects of life science research, among other relevant topics.
Importantly, the series will benefit post-doctoral students, and young investigators, as they interact with expert researchers, grant awardees, policy-makers, etc. The Town Hall Series follows IndiaBioscience’s mandate of facilitating discussions on the changing life science ecosystem in India.
In the first Virtual Town Hall Series meeting, panelists and prospective applicants of the Ramalingaswami Re-entry Fellowships engaged in an insightful discussion on various aspects governing the revised fellowship scheme. The session included discussions on the fellowship structure, and useful tips and shared experiences on the fellowship award system.
