TCS Research Fellowship Scheme

The TCS Research Fellowship Scheme, announced by N Chandrasekaran, TCS CEO & MD, at Sangam 2009, the TCS Annual Academic Meet, seeks to enhance the talent base in India. TCS will annually sponsor 40 research students for a PhD program in computer science, across India, for five years, beginning 20102011 (making it a total of 200 in the plan period).

Fellowship Details
Duration: For a maximum period of four years or the submission of the PhD thesis, whichever is earlier. TCS may grant an extension of the fellowship to the fifth year at its discretion, under exceptional circumstances. Stipend: Rs.18,000 per month for the first two years and Rs. 20,000 per month for the next two years (the stipend amount could be revised at a later date, at TCS discretion, in order to maintain the stature of the Scheme, among the other schemes in the country).

Other Incentives
Support for the TCS Research Scholar to participate in one International Refereed Conference, held outside India, during the fouryear period, where he/she has a paper to present, and he/she is one of the authors of the paper. The grant would cover travel, conference registration, accommodation and living allowance as per TCS norms. Support for the guide of the TCS Research Scholar to participate in one International Refereed Conference, held outside India, during the four-year period, where the guide has a paper to present, with the Scholar being a coauthor, but not a participant in the conference. The grant would cover travel, conference registration, accommodation and living allowance as per TCS norms. Support for the scholar to participate in two International / National Refereed Conferences, held in India, during the four-year period, where he/she has a paper to present, and he/she is one of the authors of the paper. The grant would cover travel, conference registration, accommodation and living allowance as per TCS norms. A one-time contingency grant of Rs. 1,00,000 to the institute for every student enrolled as a TCS Research Scholar in order to meet any incidental expenses related to the students project, as approved by his research guide. Visit(s) and interaction(s) of the Scholars to TCS Innovation Laboratories depending on their project needs, as judged by the concerned TCS Innovation Laboratory.

Conditions
Upper age limit: 28 years when admitted into the fellowship program The student should have secured a first class in all examinations since school. The scheme is only applicable for the following study areas:

Computer Engineering Computer Science Information Systems Information Technology Software Engineering

The scheme is open for those students who are eligible for a PhD, and it is only valid for those students applying for a fresh PhD program and not for those who have already been admitted. Students have to be registered as full-time students in the institute/college where the PhD admission is being sought. TCS can terminate the fellowship, with a one-month notice, on the basis of the performance review report and also for the violation of any operational rules applicable to all the research students of the institute. TCS reserves the first right of refusal to be an exclusive licensee for a period of two years, for any patent filed by the academic institution resulting out of the research work. If TCS does not exercise the right, the institution can go ahead on its own. TCS reserves the exclusive right to market & sublicense to its customers the outcome of the research work carried out under this scheme. The CTO organization / TCS Innovation Laboratory will seek opportunities to collaborate with the scholar(s)/institute, even beyond the period of the internship. Applications must be submitted in the following format:

Letter of application from the student Letter of support by the institute The research area write-up, which should include a short review, broad problem statement, proposed scope and focus Students CV: Education, grades obtained, honors, publication list, work experience (if any) CV of the proposed guide Applications will be received twice every year, the deadlines being July 15 and December 15. The results will be announced within one month. This fellowship may be taken in addition to the PhD scholarship that the student receives from other sources, provided that there is no violation of rules.

Candidate Selection
The key elements for selection:

Candidates credentials Institutes credentials for the selected field of study TCS interest in the selected field of study Academic research guides credentials While the institute should select the students for this program, TCS reserves the right to admit some or none of the students recommended by the institute. Further, TCS reserves the right to conduct an interview of a student(s), if it deems necessary for the selection for the scheme. In such cases, the interviews will be conducted in one of the Innovation Labs of TCS and candidates must travel to the designated Lab for the interview. To-and-fro 2nd A/C rail fare from the institute to the place of interview will be paid to each candidate called for the interview.

INTRODUCTION
The European master programme in System Dynamics is specifically designed for students who are interested in learning how to initiate strategic change in organizations. With the growing interconnectedness of society and increasing turbulence, organisations in the public andprivate sectors are continuously confronted with the need for improvement in strategy development, policydesign and decision making in and across complex, dynamic domains. History is full of examples where

decision makers did not succeed in designing such effective policies: overoptimistic leaders have started wars they were bound to loose, learning-by-doing policies have not been sufficient to prevent overutilization and depletion of renewable resources, very successful start-up-firms have over-expanded and gone bankrupt, governments have tried in vain to reduce health care costs etc. A common denominator here is a lack of understanding of the systems people control: they ignore or misperceive the nature of stocks and flows, feedback loops, delays, and non-linearities. Many such dynamic systems are not yet properly understood, confer the recent financial crisis. Model based policy analysis and design (with the help of System Dynamics) has long been recognised as a way to help people make better decisions when confronted with the complexity of dynamic systems. The European master programme in System Dynamics builds on the strengths of the four universities involved: foundations of System Dynamics model building in Bergen; application of System Dynamics in either Sustainability issues in Lisbon or Management, Planning and Control in Palermo and Organisational consultation and Group Model Building in Nijmegen.
