The Indian Institute of Science Education Research (IISER) Mohali has been established as an autonomous academic institution in 2007 by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development, Government of India, New Delhi, to carry out research in frontier areas of science and provide quality science education at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. The broad focus of IISER Mohali is to integrate excellence in scientific research with education.
Foundation stone of IISER, Mohali was laid on 27th Sept, 2006 by the Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh.

IISER Mohali is presently functioning from a transit campus in Chandigarh. The Institute is currently located in the Academic Block of the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration (MGSIPA), Sector 26, Chandigarh. IISER Mohali's fully residential campus(100+ ACRE) will ultimately be located in Mohali, and hopefully it will move to the Mohali campus by 2009.
