internship opportunity at NCL Innovations (www.nclinnovations.org)

This was to inform you of an internship opportunity at NCL Innovations (www.nclinnovations.org), a resource center of the National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), Pune.

NCL has a rich history of technologies transferred to the industry which is, however not well documented or available from a single source.

The internship will be an effort to enlist such successful transfers, useful as a reference and for creating case studies around the important ones. This will also help create awareness amongst the scientific community about the success of a publicly funded R&D organization in generating technologies highly applicable in the industry. The effort will offer lessons and insights into the process of technology development and commercialization in India.

The candidate (preferably with a background in Arts/Science & interest/ experience in science communication) will be involved with-

·         Searching, mining, recording and categorizing NCL’s technologies that had been formally transferred to the industry and maintain a technology transfer database.

·         Locating old documents such as annual reports, news articles, NCL’s internal archives, etc that might have any information about the technologies developed at NCL.

·         Verifying the existing information by interviewing NCL alumni and organizing the information gathered.

·         Documenting findings via an electronic database and contributing to report/ white papers.

Please refer to the attached document for details.

We would like to request you to circulate the internship opportunity details amongst your circles.

Thanks in advance.
