The Academia in India having vast and growing network of Universities/Institutes has contributed in many ways to research activities related to Space and has much greater potential for contribution.
SAC has a proactive approach for research solicitation from academia.
Interest Exploration Meetings (IEMs) / Interest Exploration Webinar (IEWs)
have been organised with academia institutions across the various geographic regions of the country to encourage and promote academia towards space research activities. These IEMs & IEWs resulted in a well-distributed geographical spread of the ongoing Sponsored Research projects in East, North-East, North, North-West, West and Central regions of the country. The ongoing Sponsored Research projects are reviewed at SAC every year along with potential new Sponsored Research proposals. The completed Sponsored Research projects are evaluated post completion and cluster wise impact assessment is also carried out.
