🎉 Successfully Conducted Webinar on Scilab & Xcos.

The FOSSEE project, IIT Bombay, successfully conducted a webinar focusing on Scilab and Xcos for numerical computing, simulation, and engineering applications.

Sessions like these help bridge the gap between academia, industry professionals, and accessible computational tools. It is encouraging to witness growing interest in Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) and its practical applications across engineering domains.

We remain committed to enabling the adoption of open-source technologies through workshops, webinars, faculty development programs, and outreach initiatives.

Looking forward to more collaborations with academic institutions and professional communities across India.
