Endowed Visiting Chairs: IISc has a number of distinguished visiting chair positions to facilitate short-term visits by accomplished researchers in various disciplines. The Chairs provide for airfare, local hospitality, and an honorarium. The recipients of the Chair positions participate in various academic and research activities and interact with faculty and students in IISc. On-campus accommodation for a visitor is provided, subject to availability, in IISc's Centenary Visitor's House (CVH), which has well-furnished apartments suitable for comfortable living with a small family. An academic department in IISc will serve as a host to the Visitor to coordinate the academic and research activities. Application process: The IISc host faculty needs to submit an application to the department chair to be forwarded for the approval of the concerned dean and the director. After that, the HR section issues the offer letter.
