Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (HBCSE) is a National Centre of the
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai.
The broad goals of the Centre are to promote equity and excellence in science
and mathematics education from primary school to undergraduate college level, and
encourage the growth of scientific literacy in the country.
To these ends it carries out a wide spectrum of inter-related activities,
which may be viewed under three broad categories: (a) Research and Development,
(b) Teacher Orientation and Science Popularisation, and (c) Olympiads and other
Students' Nurture Programmes. Links to different activities are provided below.
Three decades after its inception, HBCSE has emerged as the premier institution
in the country for research and development in science, technology and
mathematics education. It is India's nodal centre for Olympiad programmes in
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Astronomy.
HBCSE runs a Graduate School in Science Education. Students admitted to HBCSE Graduate School work for the degree of Ph.D. in Science Education, which is a degree of TIFR (Deemed University).
