Eight young students who have been successful at the India Initiative for Research & Innovation in Science (IRIS) with their innovative science and technology projects will now represent India in the 2010 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) to be held at San Jose, California, from May 9 to 14.

During the week-long fair, the students will have the opportunity to meet leading scientists and exchange ideas on various evolving topics in science, research and technology.

 

“The success of these students reveals their scientific aptitude, research acumen and innovation in the country”, said Rahul Bedi, Director, Corporate Affairs, Intel South Asia.

“The finalists from India demonstrate the capability of this country to cultivate the next generation of innovators, scientists and entrepreneurs.”

The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, sponsored by Intel since 1996, is a celebration of science showcasing the world's most promising young scientists and inventors.

The fair has been administered for the past 56 years by Science Service, a non-profit organisation, whose mission is to advance the understanding and appreciation of science around the globe through publications and educational programmes.
