Applications are invited from fresh PhDs, M.Ds, postdocs and junior faculty (from all disciplines of science and engineering) keen on pursuing scientific career in India, to attend the sixth Annual Young Investigator Meet (YIM) Boston being held from Oct 11-13, 2014 at MIT, Cambridge MA.

'YIM Boston 2014' meet is an interactive platform for global scientists to learn about India's radically changing innovation system and its growing need for dynamic leaders. YIM is a unique opportunity for scientists to interact with leaders from Indian science and technology. Our elite panel comprises of prominent Indian scientists, policy makers, representatives from Indian funding agencies and industries, directors of major national institutes and clinicians. (please refer to our website for speakers and participating institutes). Through series of structured talks and discussion forums, 'YIM Boston 2014’ meet will emphasize to address prospects, growth, mentorship, challenges, resources and collaborations within the new/emerging academic scenario in India. Towards this, 30 + potential faculty candidates will be short listed based on their research achievements and vision statement, to present their work and interact with future faculty screening committee members.

In the last 5 years, we received over 1300 applications, and shortlisted about 200, of which over 60 are now back in India as a result of the linkages they established at YIM. Our success rate encourages us to organize this meeting every year!
