Initiative for Research & Innovation in STEM (IRIS) 2018 The Initiative for Research & Innovation in STEM (IRIS) 2018 is a Public – Private partnership program that encourages school children to create indigenous solutions for local problems and put India on the global innovation map. It promotes and nurtures scientific research among young Indian innovators, recognizes outstanding projects in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and provides a platform to showcase them at a global stage through Intel ISEF. IRIS 2018 was held at the Sam Manekshaw Centre, New Delhi, from 2-4 December 2019 which saw the brightest young innovators from across the country showcasing their projects. Intel ISEF is a unique platform for young children to showcase their innovations and be selected as Team India who get an opportunity to represent our country and compete against young innovators from 80 other countries at Intel® International Science & Engineering Fair to be held in the United States in May 2019. At the three-day national fair held from December 2-4, 2018 a total of 78 projects selected through a two level evaluation process, from 1500 online applicants from across India, were showcased by 106 students vying for the IRIS Grand Awards.
