A set of services is being conceived in keeping with the civic
commitment philosophy of the Institute:
_____________________________________________________________________
Are you a science and technology enthusiast?
Do you find yourself unable to take part in scientific discourse
because of lack of credentials? Would you like to engage actively
with science based issues? Indeed, would you like to take part
in solving scientific problems and puzzles?
Do you feel science institutions and universities have not outreached
enough? That these institutions are still ivory towers
into which only big industrial houses have access? That knowledge
and wealth have begun to get produced and distributed primarily between
them?
Do not despair..
We at IISc are committed to democratizing the institution of science:
we will enable you to become a partner in the scientific endeavour.
We strongly believe involvement in science should not be restricted
to the credentialed and privileged few.
NCSI, as a unit in IISc set up to cater to the public dimension of the
knowledge economy, will facilitate this inclusive process. Our mission is
to connect and link people and knowledge: we act as facilitators
particularly focused on knowledge distribution. We believe you too
can contribute to the knowledge generation-exchange-utilization chain.
Of course, our scheme ensures that you have enough incentives to
contribute and gain in the process.
The 'NCSI-Citizen Scientist Services' has been conceived for people like
you. Greater involvement by appropriately informed citizens can benefit
science to a very large extent. Please watch out for more details from the
Citizen Scientist Unit (CSU) of NCSI. Our email address is
csu@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in.
