IRIS National Fair

IRIS National Fair The Initiative for Research and Innovation in STEM (IRIS), is a research – based National Fair for students. It recognises and rewards outstanding projects.

The IRIS National Fair promotes and nurtures science and scientific research among young Indian innovators. It provides a platform for winning students to represent India at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the world’s largest international pre-college science competition, held annually in the U.S. Having begun as the Intel Science Talent and Discovery Fair in 1999, IRIS has

been nurturing the spirit of innovation among school students in India since 2006. The aim is to infuse the spirit of discovery in school children, increase their interest in science and technology, and build a robust scientific temper among the youth of the country. Each year, research-based science projects by young students, across 17 subject categories—are reviewed by an eminent jury comprising of scientists and domain experts. Then, the short-listed entries are showcased at the annual IRIS National Fair.
