I-STEM (Indian Science, Technology, and Engineering services Map) is launching the Samavesha project at IISc., Bengaluru, on January 16 to improve analysis collaboration in India by enhancing accessibility to services and labs.
I-STEM, an initiative of the Office of Principal Scientific Advisor, Government of India, is planning to conduct round 50 Samavesha throughout India in 2024. The project targets connecting researchers with scientific institutes by an internet portal.
The researcher or the business trying to avail superior scientific tools can join with the establishment that has the tools they’re on the lookout for, and hire it to conduct their experiments, by I-STEM portal.
The imaginative and prescient of I-STEM is to create a future the place a million new-age researchers, brimming with concepts, are seamlessly linked to a community of 10,000 cutting-edge labs throughout India.
By finish of 2024, I-STEM goals not solely to join people to tools but additionally to ignite a collaborative ecosystem the place start-ups, industries, and academia co-create the following wave of innovation.
According to I-STEM, this protects the researchers, business and start-ups the prohibitive capital expenditure of buying superior tools. At the nationwide stage, this prevents duplication of sources in analysis establishments.
Dr. Harilal Bhaskar, Chief Operating Officer and National Coordinator, I-STEM, mentioned, “We are thrilled to announce India’s research is getting a superpower – collaboration. Samavesha unlocks the missing ingredient – seamless connections, shared resources, and a nationwide research surge. From hidden labs to ground-breaking landmarks, Samavesha empowers minds, unites forces, and builds a future of collaborative breakthroughs. Join the revolution – register your lab, share your resources, and make history with Samavesha.
“The objective is to provide new age researchers, start-ups and industries across India with access to advanced, and expensive, research infrastructure, which would help drive innovation. We envision a future where researchers have unparalleled access to cutting-edge facilities, leading to a surge in research and indigenous product innovation.”
The key impression envisaged from Samavesha
- Increased indigenous product innovation: Collaborative synergy is anticipated to considerably increase innovation
- Knowledge Exchange Ecosystem: SAMAVESHA seeks to create a thriving data alternate atmosphere, driving analysis and improvement
- National Advancements: Breaking down entry limitations, the occasion aspires to make India a hub for ground-breaking discoveries and homegrown developments
