CSIR Fourth Paradigm Institute

(Formerly CSIR Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation)

A constituent laboratory of Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR).

Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India.

CSIR Fourth paradigm Institute (CSIR-4PI) is a young and vibrant organization committed to promoting mathematical modelling and data driven research culture across CSIR and accelerate the pace of discovery in the areas of interest to CSIR. CSIR-4PI played a pivotal role in shaping up the computational research capability in CSIR over the past 30 years and has the same potential to impact the emerging data science research to solve problems of societal and strategic importance.

Our mission is to develop knowledge products in Earth, Engineering and information sciences for societal good by exploiting modeling, simulation and data science capabilities

Structurally CSIR-4PI is divided into two distinct scientific divisions with the scope of interdisciplinary research.

Growth of C-MMACS Computing Power - Over Years

Vision: 

To synergize the strong expertise in various disciplines across CSIR and build a unified platform that embodies a rich set of big data enabling technologies and services with optimized performance to facilitate research collaboration and scientific discovery. 

Mission:

Develop knowledge products in Earth, Engineering and information sciences for societal good by exploiting modeling, simulation and data science capabilities.

Mandate: 

To develop reliable knowledge products for decision support in Earth, Engineering and Information sciences as well as to host centralised supercomputing facility for CSIR. 

Student Programme for Advancement in Research Knowledge (SPARK)

SPARK is intended to provide a unique opportunity to bright and motivated students of reputed Universities to carry out their major project/thesis work and advance their research knowledge in mathematical modelling and simulation of complex systems. The programme is intended to increase the interaction between scientists and faculty members of academic institutes along with their students towards a long term research collaboration.
