VENTURES FOR ACADEMIA & RESEARCHERS

With the support of the IIVCC, a new programme has been launched as IICE in the year 2019 to strengthen the capacity of researchers at USJ to enhance inventions and innovation in science and technology. IICE-2019 was a successful event which opened up avenues for many research-industry collaborations.
The IICE Grant calls for proposals from prospective candidates and the application period opens up annually under nine different categories. Once the applications for IICE grants are advertised on the IIVCC webpage, you may take a look at the preliminary requirements, eligibility criteria, and start applying to secure a grant.
Usually the IIVCC opens up the competitive IICE Grant scheme only once a year. However, based on the importance of the proposal and justifications provided, IIVCC also involves in securing grants for you from USJ.

The novelty of the project is the main pillar to secure a IICE grant.So, why wait till the last moment of application deadlines?
