Prof. Kavi Arya (Computer Science & Engg. Dept., IIT Bombay) is the Principal Investigator of e-Yantra (https://www.e-yantra.org), a robotics outreach project hosted at IIT Bombay and funded by the Ministry of Education, Government of India. The e-Yantra Robotics Competition (eYRC) is a flagship initiative of the e-Yantra project, organized annually for Engineering & Technical students. It's essentially a robotic MOOC that teaches skills in Embedded Systems, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Control Systems, Functional Programming, Image Processing, and other contemporary areas.

Participating teams are allotted "themes" that are abstractions of real-world problems. Over the past 12 years, e-Yantra Robotics Competition has seen exponential growth in registrations, from around 4,500 in 2012 to 34,500 - only in India. The competition runs over 6-7 months during which participating teams work under the expert guidance of e-Yantra mentors. The effect of participation includes placements at 10-100% higher packages, PG admission into top-rated colleges globally, and the urge to start startups.

NSF-DAAD Scheme for Project-Related Personnel Exchange (PPP) - 2024

Deadline for the application: 31^st August 2024

This Joint Mobility Program aims to promote bilateral scientific cooperation between Sri Lanka and Germany by creating sustained networks between various Sri Lankan and German teams formed through individual research exchanges.

DAAD provides funding for mobility to members of the German research group and their stays at the Sri Lankan partner institution. Due to factors beyond institutional control, NSF is not in a position to provide funds for mobility and hospitality for the Sri Lankan research group for stays in Germany. However, this is an opportunity for Sri Lankan researchers who seek collaborative work with German researchers within Sri Lanka. NSF encourages Sri Lankan researchers to submit proposals in partnership with industry and explore the potential to secure funding from the industry for the said purpose.

Invitation to "Publish with STAIR" Online Event

Online information session held on Tuesday, the 14^th of February

St Antony’s International Review (STAIR) is Oxford's sole peer-reviewed International Affairs Journal. STAIR was established in 2005 by a team of ambitious postgraduate students based in St Antony's College, University of Oxford. Ever since, STAIR has carved out a distinctive niche as a cross-disciplinary outlet for research on the most pressing contemporary global issues, providing a forum in which emerging scholars can publish their work alongside established academics and policymakers.

STAIR is currently accepting abstract submissions for its issues 17.2 and 18.1. The themes for Issues 17.2 and 18.1 are ‘The Future of Ukraine in Europe’ and ‘Global Britain’ respectively. STAIR recognizes that diversity in international voices and perspectives is vital for the expansion and continuity of the journal, which is why we are now venturing outside a domain that may have hitherto been Anglo/Eurocentric in its outlook. The relevant calls can be found on https://www.stairjournal.com/call-for-papers.

We will be covering more information on STAIR and its publishing opportunities during our “Publish with STAIR” online information session held on Tuesday, the 14th of February (please check the attached flyer for your relevant time zone).
