IIF
has introduced a new scheme for retired/retiring social scientists of
eminence for appointment as “Emeritus Scientists” or “Senior
Fellows” to promote research in the area of finance and accounting.
The objective of the scheme is to enable retired/retiring scientists
to continue their scientific work in the field of their specialization
in finance and accounting with a view to make use of their knowledge,
wisdom and expertise acquired by such professionals during their life
time. The scheme is specially designed because in a country like ours
which is in dire shortage of highly technical manpower, and large amount
of resources cannot be allocated to research to different spheres of
research activities as required, we can not afford such scientists to
abandon their research interest, enthusiasm and continuing work for
lack of appropriate facilities after retirement.
Scientists
under this scheme are given grants in the form of fellowships together
with contingency grants to pursue research.
The
Scientists for Outstanding Achievements are considered for an Award.
