The PIs should have relevant experience as evident from previous prototype commercialization or development or practical experience in the chosen area/topic with field knowledge. Invitation for DST FIST Proposals from Post Graduate Colleges in Basic Sciences/ Agriculture/ Engineering/ Veterinary/ Medical/ Pharmacy. These would be defined in the call announcement. For security reasons, IP address of the applicant's computer is being recorded during the usage. This would also include but not limited to Research, Design, Development and Engineering R • A fully Operational STEP/TBIwith at least 5 start ups requiring seed support is eligible to apply to DST for seed support. The enabler ST based agencies are expected to act as catalyst in providing backward and forward linkages, livelihood ecosystem and ST based training through standardized modules to empower women towards long term sustenance. It is important that the research consortium is engaged in cutting edge RD and has proven research and technical competence to execute the project.

IDENTIFIED AREAS Fuel cells might also be considered if suitable locally sourced from the same establishment as the installation fuel sources such as Bio-gas or Photo-electrochemical water splitting can be employed for hydrogen generation, Thermal energy storage systems such as Thermal energy storage in brines or Supercritical CO2 based thermal energy storage may also be proposed if techno-economically viable according to the afore-stated requirements. In terms of the PoC, funding can be made available for selected Joint Projects and Workshops in bilateral mode involving scientist technologists from Sri Lanka and India, in the following areas Thus, the primary activity of TIH includes the development of new knowledge intellectual property and highly knowledgeable human resource with top-order skills, besides serving as a repository of papers and patents. NOTE : # - The Contact officer can be contacted on these timings in working days. All 18 number of TIHs are provided to Host Institutes and HI's to create a Section-8 Company. Scientists selected for the award will be allowed to pursue unfettered research with a freedom and flexibility in terms of expenditure as approved in the research plan. The proposals may focus on one or more of the following or related topics 2. 2. 2.0 The Need To act as a hub for several incubators in the region, so that high-potential startups can be fast-tracked for increased exposure and validation In addition to improving the quality-of-life of target population with appropriate and/or innovative scientific technological interventions, TIDE also aim at giving them autonomy independence through holistic development by creating requisite enabling environment for their empowerment. Innovation and Entrepreneurship Division of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India is supporting Technology Business Incubators primarily in and around academic, technical and management institutions to tap innovations and technologies for venture creation by utilizing expertise and infrastructure already available with the host institution. These Hubs provide the eco- system for technology development and deployment.

These WTPs are envisaged to act as a resource centre where all necessary support is made available to women from a single platform for providing ST based training, capacity building in various technologies, providing livelihood opportunities and improving the quality of life of the women by reducing their drudgery, better resource management through value addition, etc. Other renewable resources like hydro ,wind, bio-gas etc. The project to be submitted along with the application should, therefore, contain innovative research idea and it should have a potential of making impact on RD in the discipline. The Department of Science and Technology invite proposals for establishment of Science Technology and Innovation STI Hubs to develop, nurture and ensure the development, improvement, and delivery of appropriate and relevant ST approaches for Creation of Sustainable Livelihoods and enhancing the Quality of Life of the Scheduled Caste population in the country. Tentative list of proposed Technology TIHs as given below, however, as the technology is changing rapidly, some of them may undergo changes or new technology verticals may emerge.

A inter-Ministerial funding program“Scientific Utilization Through Research Augmentation- Prime Productsfrom Indigenous Cows” SUTRA-PIC India has been initiated with the support of Ministry of Science Technology through Department of Science and Technology DST, Department of Biotechnology DBT, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research DSIR-Council of Scientific Industrial Research CSIR Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy AYUSH Ministry of New and Renewable Energy MNRE, Indian Council of Agricultural Research ICAR, and Indian Council of Medical Research ICMR.The program will involve participation of Research Institutions, Academics, Grassroots Organizations and so on to carry out R D work, technology development and capacity building at local level covering following five thematic areas Under this scheme a selected number of young scientists, with excellent track record, are provided special assistance and support to enable them to pursue research in frontier areas of science and technology. iv Agricultural Sciences, In line with the science and technology bilateral agreement signed between South Africa and India, the National Research Foundation NRF, in partnership with the Indian Department of Science and Technology DST, is hereby pleased to announce the 6th bilateral call for joint research project proposals between South African researchers and their Indian counterparts. Please orient your proposal objective to a few specific outputs, which could be possible in are proposed to be explored and adapted to real-life Urban Governance context. Interested eligible applicants may apply against the call. Applicants found eligible at Stage-I evaluation will be requested to submit detailed proposals for participation in Stage-II and these will be critically evaluated by constituted expert committees in India. The consortium team may include at least a user having interest in the intervention, a solution designer and a solution provider. • Renewable energy, The Department of Science and Technology, Government of India-referred to as “DST” and the Ministry of Science and Technology of State of Israel referred to as “MOST” are providing financial support for joint research activities carried out by Indian and Israeli researchers.

The criteria for evaluation and evaluation procedure will be part of call document. Waste Management Technologies program is aligned to the “Swachh Bharat Mission” or “Clean India Mission” of the Government. They also can bid for projects from Govt/ Industry/ PSUs/ State Govt etc. • Targeted beneficiaries should be SC population minimum 40-50. of Science Technology, Govt. of India invites to participate against ‘Joint Call for Proposals - 2020’ under the India-Serbia Scientific and Technological Cooperation Program between the Department of Science and Technology DST, Ministry of Science and Technology of the Republic of India and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development MESTD of the Republic of Serbia. • Electrochemical storage Objectives

The combination of activities ranging from applied research to pilot scale demonstrations within one project is eligible and encouraged differentiation between research stages should be described in the relevant work packages.
