  2. About us

    Science outreach is all about communicating the importance and ideologies of Science with the public. The general idea is to spread Science among the school students and teachers in a captivating way which will be encouraging enough for them to think about a future in research or education.

    NISER is mindful of its social responsibilities and has been reaching out to students and teachers to motivate them in their Scientific pursuit.

  3. Our vision

    We believe that an exposure at the right time in one's career can ignite right minds in learning and their scientific pursuit. With this in mind we invite teachers and students to have a glimpse of the research environment at NISER and expose them to the concept of "Learning by doing". NISER outreach activities provide a single window for facilities such as online and offline education from school to undergraduate level, research programs, online portal for various learning units for schools, online teachers' webinars, online and on-site teachers' workshops etc.

    NISER Open day program is introduced to invite people from various institutions/ schools can to visit NISER in order to have a glimpse of the scientific exposure along with learning. NISER Educational trips involve schools and college visits in different departments at NISER and interact with the Scientific officers. NISER hosts the Odisha chapter of the Vigyan Pratibha project in collaboration with Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar and Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education (please check the full form), Mumbai and wherein teachers' training workshops are being conducted.
