Established in 2011 as an ‘Institution of National Importance’ (interim operations started in June, 2010), the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) has adopted the mandate to create and train some of the best of tomorrow’s Science & Technology leaders through a combination of innovative and novel curricula, pedagogy and evaluation. AcSIR’s focus will be on imparting instruction and providing research opportunities in such areas that are not routinely taught in regular academic universities in India.
It has been set up based on a ‘Hub and the Spokes’ model where hub is responsible for centralized administrative functions. The spokes are located in the 37 laboratories and 6 units of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) spread along the length and breadth of India, which act as actual campuses for different subjects or areas depending on their respective specializations.
The mission of the Academy is to create highest quality personnel with cross-disciplinary knowledge, aiming to provide leaders in the field of science and technology.
AcSIR seeks to bring about a paradigm shift in mindset by
AcSIR offers full flexibility to students to think and work beyond disciplines. Robust ICT Infrastructure allows seamless access to intellect and resources of CSIR Labs.
AcSIR offers several academic programmes such as Doctoral, Masters, Post graduate Diplomas, etc. To see a complete list of academic programmes offered, click here.
The Science of tomorrow will be integrative and trans-disciplinary. AcSIR provides opportunity to work in the frontier and trans-disciplinary areas of Natural Sciences, Life Sciences, Mathematical and Information Sciences, Medical Sciences, Engineering and attract the best of the young minds.
