About KIC TEQIP

TEQIP-ll program is sponsored by the MHRD, GOI. Under this program, IITs have been invited to participate by establishing a Centre dealing with KNOWLEDGE INCUBATION (KIC) vide DO No. 16-25/2013-TS.VII dated 25th June 2013. These Centres are intended to become a focal point for training faculty, staff and students from TEQIP-II institutions in Knowledge Engineering, Content Creation, Improving Teaching, Pedagogy & Administrative Skills in identified niche areas/ disciplines. KIC-Knowledge Incubation Cell at IITG functions as a multi disciplinary as well as interdisciplinary Innovation Incubation Centre with Knowledge Management as its focus. It is actively involved in the area of improving the quality of technical education.

Topics to be covered:

The short term course will include the following themes

•Transition metal catalyzed small molecule activation and functionalization

•Bio-inspired and enzymatic catalysis

•Catalysis for green and sustainable chemistry

•Heterogeneous catalysts for energy and environmental applications

•Applications of organometallic compounds in fine chemical synthesis via catalysis

•Computational tools for advanced catalysis

Participation in this short term course will provide sufficient expertise to teachers who wish to design new UG and PG level courses based on the above themes.

ELIGIBILITY

The course is open to faculty members of TEQIP-listed institutions/ engineering colleges and government funded North East State technical institutions. Seats that remain unfilled will be open to other institutions. No course fee is charged. Candidates from TEQIP institutions will be reimbursed TA & DA .
