Training Courses
Courses for Senior Executives
This residential annual one-week course is conducted in the month of January for executives in senior positions from the public and private sectors and from the national science and technology agencies.

The first course was organised in 1989 with twenty eight participants and with the late RL Kapur as the course coordinator. In subsequent years the course coordinators were Sundar Sarukkai, PK Shetty and Sangeetha Menon. Narendar Pani is the present course coordinator.

This flagship course of NIAS in recent years has been focusing on ‘Excellence in Leadership’ in order to respond to the challenges of decision-making and leadership from a lateral and multidisciplinary point of view.

The modules for the course offer an understanding of a wide variety of issues such as governance, management and Indian culture, and are intended to provide the broad overview that leaders of tomorrow will need to possess. The faculty for the course includes well-known public figures, eminent scientists and technologists, academicians and veteran administrators.

The participants get to interact with some of the most important leaders and decision makers in the country.

Description : NIAS-DST Training Programme on ‘New Technologies and their Implications’ for Women Scientists and Technologists (February 27 – March 2, 2012)

Purpose and Objective :
The large pool of scientific and technical manpower in many Indian institutions has not had the benefit of either induction training or a system of regular in�]service training that are available to other cadre based services. In order to bridge this gap, the National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) has been organizing with support from the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, the Programme for a very select group of middle / senior scientist�]administrators and technologists from various scientific organizations in the country. The purpose of scheme ‘National Training Programme’ is to provide the orientation and planning skills needed by this group, and in particular, to offer views of the broader scientific, economic, social and cultural milieu in which the Indian scientific enterprise could develop in this century.
The National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) carries out research in multidisciplinary areas that bridge the gap between the natural and engineering sciences, social sciences, humanities and the arts. The main aim of these courses is to acquaint the participants with current developments and their overarching scientific, social and policy dimensions. Consistent with the mission of NIAS, its courses emphasize the development of leadership qualities through the integration of multidisciplinary knowledge.
