About I-STEM

The Indian Science, Technology, and Engineering facilities Map (I-STEM) is an interactive web portal designed to accelerate scientific progress in India. This initiative, conceived and supported by the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, creates a centralized platform for sharing publicly funded R&D equipment and facilities across various institutions throughout the country.

The I-STEM Web Portal helps users locate the specific facilities they need for their R&D work and identify the ones that are either closest to them or available the soonest.
The organization, as the custodian of the facility, may charge a usage fee to cover the costs of operating and maintaining the resources.

Through a recent GoI directive, institutions with R&D facilities funded by agencies of the GoI are now mandated to list these facilities on the I-STEM Portal.

I-STEM protects the IP involved in building the I-STEM Portal, a provisional patent application entitled, "A method and process for efficient use of geographically dispersed resources", has been filed with the Indian Patent Office.

VISION

To establish India as a global leader in equitable scientific innovation by democratizing access to advanced research infrastructure and fostering a dynamic R&D ecosystem that seamlessly connects academia, industry, and grassroots innovators.
