SERB Matrics 2023 One of the most notable developments in the S&T sector in the XI Plan has been the setting up of the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) through an Act of Parliament, viz. the Science and Engineering Research Board Act, 2008. Promoting basic research in Science and Engineering and providing financial assistance to persons engaged in such research, academic institutions, research and development laboratories, industrial concerns, and other agencies for such research and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto are the primary and distinctive mandates of the Board. SERB aims to build up the best management systems which would match the best global practices in the area of promotion and funding of basic research. In this article, we will provide you with each and every detail about the scholarship, its objective, benefits, eligibility criteria, application procedure, and much more.
About SERB Matrics 2023
Considering the overwhelming response to the fixed grant scheme MATRICS, devised for active researchers pursuing Mathematical Sciences, and the demand from researchers belonging to other Theoretical Sciences, the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) has decided to extend the fixed grant scheme to other Theoretical Sciences including Quantitative Social Sciences. Mathematical Research Impact Centric Support is an initiative by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) for Ph.D./ M.D/ M.S/ M.D.S./ M.V.S.C.degree holders. The MATRICS scheme aims to provide fixed grant support to active researchers with good credentials in Mathematical Science. The selected fellows will receive a research grant of INR 2 lakh for a period of 3 years.
