Organizing a Program
Anyone holding a faculty
position at any research and educational institution can apply for
organizing a program at the ICTS. However, until the ICTS campus comes
up, its programs must be organized at other places in India. For this
reason, at present, it is preferable to have at least one of the
organizers from an existing institution in India. A typical proposal for
organizing a program is expected to have two or more organizers.
The organizers must fill up this form for making a preliminary proposal. The proposals will be scrutinized by
a Program Committee of the ICTS. Successful programs will receive
appropriate financial and administrative support from ICTS, including
support for uploading audio-visual material collected from lecturers,
etc. It should be emphasized that ICTS is not a funding agency for
conferences and workshops. It is an organization for facilitating
interactive activities of researchers with a strong educational
component. The organizers must keep this in mind while submitting
proposals for programs.
For all programs supported and organized
by ICTS, it is essential that the organizers submit all the audiovisual
material collected during the course of the program to the Service
Informatique of ICTS. This service will ensure that the material is
appropriately disseminated. The organizers are also required to submit a
summary report within a month of the end of the program. There is no
specific format for this report, but it would be useful if it contains
inputs from the program participants and lecturers, in addition to those
of the organizers.

writing program proposals.
Service Informatique
Students,
teachers and researchers who are affiliated to an educational
institution and have access only to low bandwidth internet service may
request Service Informatique of ICTS for DVD's or CD's of the instructional material on this
website. The Service Informatique will provide these free of cost to
bonafide users. Please note that the material will be mailed only to the
institutional address of the person from whom the request is received.
