Call for Astronomers in Residence Program

Astronomers on Residence Program

This form is intended to collect information (and build a resource sheet) of astronomers who are willing to volunteer for the Astronomers in Residence Programme by the Public Outreach and Education Committee of the Astronomical Society of India (ASI-POEC). Astronomers in Residence Programme intends to bring an astronomer in touch with the schools/colleges/universities who rarely get a chance to interact with astronomers. This is intended as a capacity building exercise in Astronomy and Astrophysics in India.
