India International Science Festival

Workshops and Interactive Sessions at India International Science Festival
In India, the culture of research development and analysis and scientific documentation at graduation and post graduation education system is almost absent. Nevertheless, researchers face tremendous problems during their early years of research in communicating, structuring, design and writing of research paper, review paper and even in submitting the research proposal. Most of these issues along with how to protect intellectual property, how to submit project proposal to the funding agencies and interactions with the successful entrepreneurs as well as people working on area specific research areas of India will be addressed through workshops and interactive sessions in the India International Science Festival. Renowned scientists, professors and agency representatives will be invited for the workshops and interactive sessions. The details are as follows:

Workshops:
1. a How to write a research paper
b How to write a review paper
c How to draft a research project proposal
2 How to protect intellectual property Interactive Sessions:
1. Interaction with techno entrepreneurs
2. Discussion on Government's Central Research Facilities
3. Discussion on region specific research areas of India
4. Discussion on research areas of Government Missions
5. Interaction with research funding agencies

Interested researchers/scholars and scientist should register online ( www.iisfdelhi.org) for the workshop. Registration is FREE

Scientific temper is fundamental to innovation. It is an attitude of mind to scientific methods influencing the way we think and approach our problems. This attitude must be nurtured and promoted to achieve greater heights as a people and as a country. It is pertinent here to recall Section V of our Constitution, Article 51A on ‘Fundamental Duties’ that begins by saying: “It shall be the duty of every citizen of India…” In the enumeration of such duties, sub-clause (h) says: “To develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform”. Hence fostering scientific temper is considered much more relevant today than any other time in the past. Diffusion of science and technology into societal fabric at all levels is required, so that it would foster scientific temper among the people and give rise to a rational attitude.

Vijnana Bharati and the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India, areorganizing ‘India International Science Festival (IISF)’ from 4th to 8th December 2015. The festival aims to provide a platform to young scientists from all over the country to share and spread their scientific ideas, achievements and inventions. Visit www.iisfdelhi.org

This session is being organised with the objectives of films as a tool for science education, scientific innovations and success stories. This would include screening of contemporary and globally acclaimed science films, developing digital tools to reach science & technology to rural areas, science film making competition for college students and exploring modern science communication techniques.

Concurrent with IISF 2015, NLEPC would also be organized during December 06-07, 2015. In this event, 800 school students (Class VI – X) selected on State level scientific projects development-cum-demonstration will showcase the innovative models, which would be judged for the best 60 projects on the first day. Among these three would ultimately be selected for the top awards.

INDUSTRYT ACADEMIA CONCLAVE : The objective is to provide a post-academic knowledge environment and industry exposure, thus enabling students to become career-ready. Visit www.iisfdelhi.org

As part of the scientific outreach programme, IISF would target involving a very large number of science students from many schools in New Delhi and surrounding places for conducting hands-on practical laboratory demonstration experiments. Visit www.iisfdelhi.org

The Expo aims to showcase innovations, achievements, advancements and futuristic models related to science and technology and provide an interactive platform for scientists, artists, designers, innovators etc. The expo would highlight art, culture and traditions depicting scientific temper and emphasize inter-dependence of science-technology-innovation and society.

Young people are the innovators, creators, builders and leaders of the future. Youth can transform the future only if they have the required skills, health, decision-making abilities and real choices in life. The Young Scientists’ Conference targeted to scientists up to the age of 45 years from all over the country is an effort to provide them an opportunity to showcase their research and achievements. The event would also be effective in promoting scientists-students interactions. Best technical papers, preferably one from each sub-theme, adjudged by a team of juries would qualify for awards as incentives. Visit www.iisfdelhi.org
