Some of the takeaways from the recently concluded Sci-ROI India Virtual Launch Event.
For grant proposals: “Research idea should deviate from PhD and postdoc work; Be realistic about your proposal; find collaborators and mentors for the proposals."
For returning Indian diaspora: “Start networking early- 1-2 yrs before you want to transition!” "Scope institutes before joining, attend conferences in India, learn about regulatory clearances.” “ Make informed decisions before returning back…talk to peers and mentors.”
Importance of research initiation for undergrads: “Research mentorship will enhance soft & transferrable skills as well and build capacity for undergrads.” “Undergrads provide opportunities to broaden perspective for ECRs.” “Ask questions- both mentees and mentors learn!”
For more details about the event visit Sci-ROI@India webpage here.

Interesting reads from Indian scientific community |

"The scientific enterprise in India has grown dramatically in the past few decades, with research emerging as a viable and important career option for students of science. The country thus has a large population of young scientists in the early stages of establishing their independent research careers. While this demographic is arguably the most important group that will determine the future of scientific research in India, their status and concerns are poorly understood.
The Indian National Young Academy of Sciences (INYAS) voices for Young Indian Researchers. Read the INYAS National Survey Findings and Recommendation for "Career challenges for young independent researchers in India", published in Current Science.

Abhijit is a final year graduate student at the Department of Physics at the University of Houston (UH). After finishing BS-MS dual degree program from IISER-Kolkata, he joined UH in Fall 2017. Abhijit studies the effects of curved spacetime in quantum field theory, e.g., Hawking radiation coming out of a black hole. His research is also closely connected to relativistic quantum information and open quantum systems. Apart from Physics, he is passionate about traveling, reading fiction, writing, and teaching.
Abhijit's plan has always been to go back to India at the end of his research training so that he can contribute to the community that he was benefited so much from. However, in academia, that is not an easy process and when he learned about what SCI-ROI does, it resonated with his goals. He believes that by joining the volunteer team at SCI-ROI, he can learn more about the various pathways of getting back to India as well as help the peers along the way. As a volunteer, he also plans to increase the participation of more researchers from Physics in SCI-ROI events and find opportunities catering to the needs of Physicists wanting to go back to India.

Abhishek Acharya is currently a first year Ph.D. student at Max-Planck-Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen, Germany. He is a biochemist by training and working in the research area of neurobiology. His Ph.D. research focuses on elucidating the structure-function relationships for neurotransmitter transporters. He is a networking enthusiast and loves to contribute into various networking and informational outreach activities for students and STEM professionals. He works closely with Indian student associations in Germany and has experience in organizing international events.
Abhishek was inspired by Sci-ROI's mission to help Indian researchers abroad in exploring career opportunities in academic and non-academic sectors in India and helping them find a path to transition back into the Indian ecosystem. Abhishek joined the Sci-ROI leadership team this year and looks forward to contributing to the social media and event organization activities of Sci-ROI.
