Industry Research & Development Fellowship Programme (IRDFP)

Subject :Science and Technology

Concept:

Industry Research & Development Fellowship Programme (IRDFP) is jointly initiated by the Department of Science & Technology (DST) and the India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA).
This fellowship programme will enhance the skills of the Fellows and will be of mutual benefit to both the industry and academic partners.
Researchers placed into industry will have the opportunity to gain a working knowledge of relevant business drivers and will gain from industry’s established contacts.
The up-skilling and industry exposure provided to academic researchers will prepare them for a career in industry and maximise the impact of the training received by these researchers so far.
For faculty researchers, it is expected that their Fellowship will help seed subsequent industry collaborations and shape the direction of their research going forward.
