The programme aims at nurturing the research capabilities of undergraduate students at the institute from early years and actively engage students intellectually in addition to regular course work.
Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal (IISER Bhopal) has launched ‘Undergraduate Clubs for Research Enthusiasts in Science and Technology’ (UG-CREST) to cultivate scientific attitudes in the early days of a young graduate student.
The UG-CREST stands on three major verticals – Ramanujan Club, DUDE club, and 360-degree club. The clubs aim at nurturing the research capabilities of undergraduate students at the institute from early years and actively engage students intellectually in addition to regular course work.
IISER Bhopal Director Siva Umapathy sad, “Ramanujan Club, DUDE (Desk for Universal Design) Club, and 360-degree Club were launched to encourage students to research work. Students will be encouraged to join any one of the three clubs during their first year of the academic programme.”
“Initial orientation and regular discussion sessions by faculty members and students will be organised to work towards the programme. Such mentoring of students at the personal level by faculty members in the initial years will result in positive engagement of students in the right direction. During their third year in the programme, students will join particular department clubs as per their inclinations,” Umapathy added.
