Description
The Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) supports bilateral workshops, symposia, conferences and training programs that bring together scientists and researchers from academia, laboratories and industry. The program fosters partnerships from the earliest stages of collaboration, enabling knowledge exchange and sustained links that draw on the complementary strengths of India and the United States.
Activities must address a designated theme of mutual interest and demonstrate potential for follow-up collaboration, including joint research, publications, technology development or sustained institutional partnerships. Training programs and advanced schools strengthen scientific knowledge and skills through structured courses and practical classes involving faculty and trainees from both countries.
