Industry Partnerships

Logo of PE Limited
IISER Pune has a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PE Limited, under which PE Limited has donated the MOVE 2023 software suite license which is equivalent to £2506898.78. The software is used by geoscientists for the purpose of subsurface data visualization, cross-section construction, 3D model building, and structural analysis. The MoU has been renewed in November 2024. 

IISER Pune and members from our Earth and Climate Science department sincerely thank PE Limited for this donation and for their continued support towards furthering industry-academia interaction.
