About WARM

The WARM (Women in Academia, Research, and Management) platform was established by CSIR-IITR in December 2022 to celebrate and commemorate the contributions of women in science, technology, engineering, and management. CSIR-IITR continues its commitment to encouraging women in all fields of science, engineering and management and organized three editions of the conference under the WARM platform in 2023, 2024 and 2025. These three national editions of the WARM conferences brought together national leaders, academicians, and policymakers on one platform to discuss potential policy leads and inspire young enthusiasts for their futures.
