SCLSG Conference/Symposium Grant 2022-23

By sponsoring research and academic events in Canada and India, the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute's broad-based initiative aims to foster the development of bi-national relationships between academics, the government, the corporate sector, and civil society organisations. In addition, SICI continues to work with member institutions through programmes, grants, and other initiatives to promote connections in the corridors of higher learning between the two countries.

To advance academic endeavours such collaborations will help better understand Canadian and Indian scientists/researchers and the academic fraternity working on similar issues.

The Institute invites participation from scientists/researchers and faculty members engaging one or more-member institution(s) of SICI from India and Canada, including an alliance of subject matter experts from both countries to bring forth innovative ideas and activities. Proposals are invited from scientists/researchers/faculty members in all domains of knowledge but encouraged in the following areas.

• Agriculture;
• One health including mental and public health;
• Ocean and Marine life, including Fisheries, Oil and Gas and Clean Energy;
• Artificial Intelligence & Robotics;
• Climate Change- its Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability;
• Arts and Culture, Conservation and Preservation of Heritage
