Teaming up Korea, India ...science and technology


Teaming up Korea, India ...science and technology

Science and technology are two driving forces for the economies of South Korea and India, with tremendous potential for projects that link both sides.

To capitalize on this potential, India’s Science and Technology Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal came to Seoul to take part in the first Ministerial Steering Committee meeting on May 4.

“We agreed on the need to promote human resource exchange and joint research in promising next-generation science and technology fields,” said Bansal.

Bansal and Education, Science and Technology Minister Lee Ju-ho exchanged views on the recent industry policy trends and recognized the importance of further strengthening cooperation in the field. 

The two ministers agreed to launch an exchange program for those wishing to advance their education in engineering and medical sciences. The program will commence in the second half of this year.

The details for funding, scale and period will be discussed at a later date.

In response to the large number of proposals, 15 projects out of 129 were jointly agreed on for support.

To promote human resource exchanges, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the Korea Institute of Science and Technology and the Indian Department of Science and Technology.

Both sides agreed to develop mega research programs in mutually identified technology areas of importance to the two countries such as low grade coal based energy, biomass, nanoscience and technology and information technology.

The “India-Korea Great Innovation Science and Technology Challenge” will be organized in India next year.

Also, workshops in the areas of chemistry and biochemistry technology will run in the second half of this year while a workshop on health and medical science will take place next year.

The next Ministerial Steering Committee Meeting will be held in India in 2012 and every two years thereafter.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but
I had to share it with someone!

Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
My website goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you happen to be interested feel free to shoot me an email.

I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
