About Strategic programmes: IDEA, EMPOWER, FINE, LEARN and CREATE
BBB publishes five strategic programmes. IDEA is an awareness format for young students and researchers, aimed at building knowledge of startup culture. EMPOWER is an entrepreneurship development programme for innovators, researchers and young minds. FINE is an ideathon-style innovation challenge for researchers, students and budding entrepreneurs. LEARN is a workshop series on the latest laboratory equipment and how it is used in research. CREATE is the corporate social responsibility channel, through which CSR innovation funds support young startups.
These are published as a single table giving each one a focus and an intended impact. None has its own page, dates or application form, so treat them as formats the centre runs from time to time. Related activity does appear in the events list, such as an ideathon held on National Startup Day. Write to bbb@rcb.res.in to ask when the next round of any of them runs.
