Applications call for Virtual Summer Research Programme 2020.

The Youth Center for Research Summer Research Programme is a great opportunity to learn and grow on a personal level. Not only it provides a chance to develop and diversify skillsets by engaging in a thought-provoking research experience but also lends an opportunity to virtually explore the world and build a network beyond the national borders. It is a 6-week programme that aims to break the traditional disciplinary boundaries and delve into the emerging interdisciplinary research journey. We encourage our participants to develop critical research questions that aim to fundamentally transform societies for a better and inclusive future.

Summary 

YCR Summer Research Programme consists of 6 weeks of research related course work. The first few weeks consist of introductory sessions in which we equip our participants with the necessary knowledge about how to conduct research and what methodologies and techniques can be employed for conducting different forms of research. This year YCR has planned to re-orient our strategy in the context of the current Covid-19 pandemic. The organizers will be conducting sessions about how participants can adjust to the current unprecedented situation, to carry on their research endeavors, unhindered by the present global settings.
