To nurture future innovators and thought leaders, the Science & Engineering Board (SERB), Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India, the Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) and WINStep Forward have partnered to develop a dynamic and transformative student exchange program between premier institutions in India and the United States. The program is named in honor of Satyendra Nath Bose (1894 - 1974), a visionary Indian physicist best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s. The class of particles that obey Bose-Einstein statistics, Bosons, was named after him.

The DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) or German Academic Exchange Service is a German national agency and the largest funding organization in the world.

This program typically takes place during July and August. However the dates can be changed by the host PI upon request. Ideally, the qualified intern will be hosted by the PI of his or her choice. At the end of the internship, interns are required to submit a report and/or give a presentation about their research projects. Upon completion of each intern’s project, an evaluation report will be filed by the host scientist, which may later serve as a supportive document towards application for admission to TIGP.

Charpak Research Internship Program, 2018 is open to students of economics, engineering, and natural science background at either Bachelor’s or Master’s level of study in India who are planning to pursue training in a French laboratory during their academic break (May to July) in any field of study for 310 euros/ month, visa fee, medical insurance and housing.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) is launching the Khorana Program for Scientific Exchange.
