Inspiring India\u2019s technical student population to consider careers in research through travel grants and other opportunities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Research (MSR) India is involved in various efforts to make the research ecosystem in computer science in India more vibrant and to inspire our vast technical student population to consider careers in research. We believe that a robust research ecosystem can make significant contributions to the country\u2019s development and also facilitate a healthy talent pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following are a few of our outreach initiatives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MSR India\u2019s Student Travel Grant Program has been supporting research students at Indian universities producing high quality research. The travel grant supports students to defray costs of travel, fees, accommodation, meals, and incidental expenses, when attending\u202ftop-tier\u202fcomputer science research conferences outside India. We believe that the exposure that the students get by attending and presenting papers at these conferences enhances the quality of their own research effort, facilitates peer review\/feedback, and enhances their research careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past decade, through the Student Grant Program we have supported over 500 students travel and present their work in top-tier conference across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
