DESCRIPTION :

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research¸ Thiruvananthapuram (IISER-TVM) is dedicated to scientific research and science education of international standards. Traditionally¸ teaching has been segregated from research in undergraduate science curricula in our country. IISERs were established by the Ministry of Human Resource Development¸ Government of India¸ to bridge this dichotomy. IISER-TVM started functioning in August 2008. The institute aims to provide high quality education in modern science¸ integrating it with outstanding research at the undergraduate level itself¸ and develop a spirit of research cutting across disciplines. The faculty are engaged in research in the frontier areas of basic sciences¸ with a high degree of autonomy and creativity.
The transit campus of the institute is located in the Computer Science building of the College of Engineering¸ Trivandrum. The permanent campus of 200 acres is under construction at Vithura¸ at the foothills of the Ponmudi hills¸ about 40km from Thiruvananthapuram¸ and is expected to be ready in 2012. The site for the campus is blessed with rich greenery¸ three streams¸ a river running through it and a spectacular mountain backdrop. This serene and tranquil environment in the lap of the Western Ghats will be ideal for research and teaching.
