Aerospace Community Collaboration Projects
These initiatives are geared towards reaching individuals or communities that lack easy access to vital services and information.
Academy of Scientific & Innovative Research (AcSIR) has been established in 2011, by an Act of Parliament, as an 'Institution of National Importance' with the mandate to create and train some of the best of tomorrow's Science & Technology leaders through a combination of innovative and novel curricula, pedagogy and evaluation. National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), Bangalore is a constituent Institution under the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) of India. CSIR-NAL is a high technology oriented institution concentrating on advanced topics in the aerospace and related disciplines. Aerospace technology encompasses the trans-disciplinary areas of science and engineering, and is in the forefront of modern developments and achievements in the fields of aeronautics, space and defence. It involves study of various disciplines namely aerodynamics, propulsion, flight mechanics, avionics, materials and structures. The PhD (Engineering) and PhD (Science) programmes offered at CSIR-NAL through AcSIR aim to provide in-depth exposure to the engineering concepts, scientific principles, research methodology and hands on experience on advanced real life R&D projects in different disciplines of Aerospace. Students completing this program are expected to be fully research – enabled and ready to work for the Industries. This helps in meeting the severe shortage of the highly skilled manpower required for developing technologies for the future generation flight vehicles.

JIGYASA : Jigyasa, a student- scientist connect programme was officially launched by CSIR. Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has joined hands with Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) to implement this programme. The focus is on connecting school students and scientists so as to extend student’s classroom learning with that of a very well planned research laboratory based learning. JIGYASA would inculcate the culture of inquisitiveness on one hand and scientific temper on the other, amongst the school students and their teachers. The Programme is expected to connect 1151 Kendriya Vidyalayas with 37 National Laboratories of CSIR targeting 100,000 students and nearly 1000 teachers annually. The program will also enable the students and teachers to practically witness the theoretical concepts taught in science by visiting CSIR laboratories and participating in mini-science projects. www.india.gov.in/spotlight/jigyasa To know more about CSIR-NAL’s JIGYASA activities, click here . https://jigyasa-csir.in/
