WHAT DO WE DO?

This is an initiative designed specifically for academic researchers who are currently engaged in research through projects or courses - at the

Masters level

We connect interested researchers with Mentors - individuals who have attained a Phd.
Once connected, we facilitate the terms of collaboration between the two parties.

This is primarily a Mentorship initiative so the accepted researchers will receive guidance, consultation and tutoring from the Mentor on the project being worked on.

Having said that, the terms of collaboration between the two parties are highly flexible and will be designed to suit the requirements of both parties once the researcher is accepted to the initiative.

HOW TO APPLY ?

There is a downloadable application form on the website which is required to be completed and submitted to projectrecon.sikkim@gmail.com by interested individuals.

Please be informed that we are accepting only researchers who are researching topics / ideas pertaining to the state of Sikkim. For eg, topics like 'Politics of Identity in West Bengal' will not be considered.

Once the initiative acquires Mentors that have expertise in such topics, we will offer that option

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER SUBMISSION OF THE APPLICATION ?

Once you have submitted the completed Application form:

It will be reviewed by the Mentor and the initiative Director.
Accepted researchers will be contacted within 2 days of submission for a short meeting with the Director of the initiative.
During this meeting the researcher will be briefed further on the Terms of Collaboration with the Mentor and Terms and Conditions of the initiative.

If terms are agreeable to both parties, the collaboration will start !

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER ACCEPTANCE ?
