Talk to Experts - Webinar Series



   Scientific Research and Development for the nation are not just responsible for innovation, new technologies, and products but it is important for the economic sector also. Any project that any start-up or academic institutions/organizations carry out to gain knowledge in their field falls under the umbrella of R&D. I-STEM is putting its efforts on prime issues, categorically on four (04) verticals for the RISE of the nation and i.e.

            1. Researcher’s pain in getting R&D resources/ or linking with the available resources (R)

            2. Industry technological issues, scarcity of skilled Personnel, and financial issues (I)

            3. Society Needs (S)

            4. Economy of the Country (E)

   The goals of the I-STEM are the optimal use of resources, the development – over time – of the indigenous capability to design, develop, and build R&D tools in the country, with the complementary capacity for maintaining and rebuilding of sophisticated R&D tools, and to bridge the gap between researchers & resources which can, therefore “reduce the barrier” for the industry to work with academia and vice versa.

   “Talk to Experts” is the webinar series conducted by I-STEM every Thursday to provide a digital consortium for the technical as well as business domain experts to speak and share their experience, knowledge and insights which will positively impact the long-term innovative journey of the start-ups, academicians, institutions, industries in R&D which in turn will promote manufacturing sector in India.
