Our 6th annual event, Sci-ROI 2021 was successfully conducted last month. We had over 200 participants from diverse scientific backgrounds, varying from undergraduates to postdocs to professors from Indian diaspora residing globally. This virtual event was spread over two weekends and divided into sessions that discussed opportunities in academia, industry, entrepreneurship and non-traditional careers. The opening session was held on Opportunity landscape engaging our founder, Dr. Aseem Ansari, Dr. Sanjeev Varshney, head of IBCT DST and Dr. Krishna Ella, Chairman of Bharat Biotech. During the first weekend faculty from prominent institutes, including IITs, IISERs, TIFR-H, IICB, Ashoka, SRM, provided information on the current academic opportunities in Indian established and upcoming institutes. Furthermore, notable panelists from Pfizer, Gennova, Merck, Novartis, ACS-India, CCMB and Office of PSA, who transitioned into non-academic jobs shared their experiences during the second weekend.
This year we have added multiple new initiatives into the event making it more interactive for our participants. Plenary talks given by Dr. Adam Ruben and Dr. Smita Jain highlighted the importance of communicating science and skill sets to general audience. The 3 minutes Research Talks offered a great opportunity to the early career researchers, who pitched their research proposal and its relevance to the Indian STEM and received feedback from the experts in various research areas in India. The Sci-Art competition was initiated to highlight artistic side of the scientists communicating scientific ideas through their creative art forms. Several panel sessions and breakout room discussions on the careers, opportunities and future course of Indian STEM paved an enthralling participation making the event a huge success.
