SRM encourages faculty members to go abroad and work in prestigious universities across the world either for short-term or long term research, doctoral, post-doctoral or Sabbatical.
 

The Broad Plan of Action: The Selected Faculty

Before departure: by SRM

• Secure acceptance of SRM faculty by targeted eminent professors overseas.
• On acceptance, facilitate their travel -  visa, ticketing, stay etc.
   

During the stay overseas: faculty

• Joint Research
• Exposure to research & grant writing
• Auditing Courses
• Networking with eminent professors
   

On return of faculty

• They would become Research Faculty (RF) with one course teaching load of 4 hours per week
• Would be provided with seed fund of Rs 10 – 20 lacs to create the basic research facilities
• Establish a  critical mass with  2 -3 research associates with flexible salary of Rs 20,000 to 25,000 per month, 2 – 3 full time PhD, 5- 10 graduates.
