In November, UKIERI's PTS strand held pre-bid workshops in both London and Delhi for the
second round of funding available under the strand. Both the workshops were well attended. The main aim of these workshops was to apprise the attendees with the application and evaluation process. Wide range of queries were addressed during the three-hour workshops.
