Associateship Programme IUCAA is a centre of excellence for research in Astronomy and Astrophysics and related subjects, and one of its mandates is to encourage research and development in these areas in the University sector. An important component of IUCAA’s academic activities is the Associateship Programme, under which faculty members of Indian universities or colleges can visit IUCAAfor periods of short and long durations over a span of three years, to develop their research interest and expertise. During these visits, Associates can conduct their own research, or work in collaborationwith faculty members at IUCAA, andwith visitors from India and abroad. Associates can use facilities at IUCAA like the library, the advanced computing centre, astronomical data centre, instrumentation laboratory, etc. They can participate in observational programmes using national and international facilities. TheAssociateship Programme has been designed to promotemobility and to this end, the travel and local living expenses of an Associate for these visits will be borne by IUCAA as per its rules. Associates will continue to carry out the existing commitments at their parent organization.
