IISER Bhopal Open House 2026, organised under the auspices of the Centre for Science and Society (CS2), concluded on 10 October 2026 with an overwhelming response, welcoming approx. 3,000+ participants, including school and college students, teachers, parents, industry professionals and members of the public.
The event began with an interactive inaugural session, in which Prof. Pradeep K. Burma delivered a Popular Science Talk titled โTwo Short Stories, Two Breakthroughs, Millions of Lives Savedโ to an audience of predominantly school students.
Visitors then gained first-hand exposure to the Instituteโs teaching, research, innovation and outreach activities through live experiments, science demonstrations, research posters, exhibitions, videos and recorded lectures. The event brought together academic departments, Deansโ offices, centres and councils, showcasing work across science, engineering, humanities and economic sciences.
Adding to the excitement, the Open House featured engaging hands-on activities and interactive challenges that kept participants curious and involved throughout the day. Many walked away with exciting prizes, and with memories of science made fun.
We sincerely thank Prof. Burma for gracing the occasion. Our heartfelt thanks also go to all the academic departments, Deansโ offices, centres and councils, along with our faculty members, student volunteers, staff and all the participants, for their enthusiasm and support in making this event a success.
