Win the World with Science

A society, which is producing more people, materials & more information than ever before, innovation is indispensable in meeting the challenges of complexity. The subject calls for understanding, modeling & simulation, computing, control, optimization, reliability, economics etc., if the idea has to become a working model.

Is there a step-by-step procedure, which can assist the innovation process? Several experts tend to support a theory, which describes how a good idea should quickly be converted into an economic activity. There are others who feel that lateral thinking is a gift & all that we need to do is to create the right ambience.

There is a need for a platform to encourage the innovative process from the idea stage till a working a working model.

IRIS-Initiative for Research & Innovation in Science blends both schools of thoughts. IRIS is a joint project of Department of Science & Technology, CII and Intel Technology India Pvt. Ltd. The initiative aims at facilitating the ideas from young minds to reach the market place.
