CSTEP, Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy is a Bengaluru (India) based Think Tank founded in 2005 by its current Chairman Dr VS Arunachalam,[1] former Scientific Advisor to India’s Defence Minister, and erstwhile head of DRDO. Dr Arunachalam received DRDO's Lifetime Achievement Award 2015 for his outstanding contribution in the field of scientific research and technology.[2] Its Executive Director is Dr. Anshu Bharadwaj, an energy systems expert who served in the Indian Administrative Services (IAS) for 15 years[3] and was nominated as a member of the ‘Expert Group on Low Carbon Strategies for Inclusive Growth’ of the Planning Commission (India).[4]


CSTEP's research explores how newly emerging technologies can be used for social and economic development. It recommends options for public policy in the areas of energy and environment, infrastructure, and emergency and disaster management.[5] In some projects and programmes it partners with private and public organisations, including government departments.


CSTEP is a registered Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation with the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India.[6]{{Infobox organization

    4. Analysis and assessment of decentralized options for India
  • Heads a consortium of Indian and international organizations which are collaborating to design and develop a ‘demonstration’ Solar- Thermal and Biomass hybrid power plant to meet energy requirements in a more sustainable manner. This 5-year project (2013 – 2018) titled SCOPE BIG (Scalable CSP Optimized Power Plant Engineered with Biomass Integrated Gasification) is a part of the EU-India Cooperation on Renewable Energy.[22]
  • Member of a consortium, FOWIND led by Global Wind Energy Council to undertake studies for facilitating off-shore wind energy in India. CSTEP’s role: a pre-feasibility study of the potential for off-shore wind farms.[23]

Funding
