IACS is a dynamic research and teaching institution embracing basic and translational studies devoted to cutting edge research in major areas of basic sciences, viz. physics, chemistry, biology and computational sciences. Our institute encompasses the gamut from basic to translational studies, and is enhanced through the close co-operation of basic scientists, applicational and translational scientists and technologists in our institute and adjacent institutions. The mission of the Institute as envisaged by the founder Dr. Mahendra Lal Sircar is to cultivate science in all its departments both with a view to its advancement by original research and to its varied applications to the arts and comforts of life. Our vision is to build a research education and training environment which is one of its kind that provides a unique platform where a researcher can pursue her/his dreams and aspirations in core sciences and also in emergent interdisciplinary areas. To be a world leader that is focused on delivering innovative research, IACS is recruiting highly-talented scientists from all around the world and admitting some of the brightest students in building their career here. 004 The year 2017-18 has been the year in which we reaffirmed and Our excellence in research has been bolstered by an renewed our image. This year, nearly 142 years since its inception, institutional effort to establish new alliances and collaborations the Governing Council has been pleased to be guiding IACS into with important partners all over the world, both from the the new chapter of its history. The sustained excellence in research public and private sectors. The creation of these ties has and teaching over the years has bestowed upon IACS, a Deemed- enabled us to forge a robust research and innovation network to-be-University status under de novo category conferred by the that will help the IACS to retain its position as a key centre of UGC and the MHRD, Govt. of India. This new image is another way reference in science research and teaching within the national of transmitting the values and mission of the Institute. The renewed and international community. There had been number of IACS branding resonates the leading-edge nature of our research visits, endowment lectures and colloquia that enriched with teaching, and brings out our new image to the society at large IACS and made the Visitor’s Program of the Institute a and the country. Thanks to the Governing Council, the Department landmark one. of Science and Technology, Government of India and Government The past year was marked by a number of accomplishments of West Bengal for strongly advocating that IACS is considered as of our faculty colleagues. Dr. Arnab Sen has won the INSA a single unique organization, inclusive of its collection, facilities, Medal for the Young Scientists; Dr. Debashree Ghosh stakeholders, faculty, students and professional staff working fluidly received the Humboldt experienced researcher fellowship, across the Institute’s multipronged activities.
