The Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam, will conduct a career guidance workshop on January 30 for M.Sc/ M.Phil students and research scholars of Physics and Chemistry in universities, colleges and institutes in Chennai and its suburbs. IIT-Madras Director M.S. Ananth will inaugurate the workshop at Queen Mary's College at 9.30 a.m. The workshop will cover the career prospects for Physics and Chemistry post-graduates and the procedures to apply for research grants. Candidates can register their names through e-mail at igcardae@md2.vsnl.net.in by January 23. There is no registration fee. The workshop is part of IGCAR's initiative to improve science education in India and encourage scholars of basic sciences to take up research. Last October, IGCAR organised a brain storming session to explore how it could share its facilities and infrastructure with the academic world.
