S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences (SNBNCBS)
S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences (SNBNCBS) is an autonomous
research institute established in 1986 by the Department of Science and
Technology (DST), Government of India. The Centre is named after the
pioneer physicist Professor Satyendra Nath Bose, who was legendary for one
of the most fundamental conceptual contributions to quantum statistics. The
Centre has emerged as a major institution for research and development in
basic sciences, specifically in Physical Sciences and related disciplines.
In parallel, the centre has also made a new move to contribute to
application-driven research, particularly in national needs. One such area
is Observational Astronomy.
Objectives
The objectives for which the S. N. Bose National Centre is established, are :
- To foster, encourage and promote the growth of advanced studies in selected branches of basic sciences.
- To conduct original research in theoretical and mathematical sciences and other basic sciences in
frontier areas, including challenging theoretical studies of future applications.
- To provide a forum of personal contacts and intellectual interaction among scientists within the
country and also between them and scientists abroad.
- To train young scientists for research in basic sciences.
