Norwegian initiatives to facilitate Indo-Norwegian research collaboration
Formal agreements include
1) A Joint Commission between Ministries of foreign affairs, Minister level, meeting annually. Under this,2) several Joint Working Groups (JWG) on Science & Technology, Maritime, Hydrocarbon, Higher Education, Culturemeeting annually, administered by the respective Ministries with RCN as executive body3) an Indo-Norwegian bilateral state-to-state Science &Technology Agreement (2006)
Agreement on Cooperation in Science and Technology India - Norway
India’s Minister of Science and Technology, Kapil Sibal, signed the Agreement together with Norway’s Minister for Education and Research, Øystein Djupedal in Tromsø 14. Nov 2006
The India – Norway Agreement on Cooperation in Science and Technology, includes
Exchange of scientists, information, documentation
Organisation of bilateral scientific seminars, workshops and courses
Training of young scientific workers by granting fellowships on the basis of exchange
Joint identification of areas for research cooperation and joint research projects
Organisation of exhibitions in science and technology
India – Norway Agreement on Cooperation in Science and Technology (signed 2006)
RESEARCH PRIORITIES:
Programme of Cooperation in Science & Technology India – Norway (2009)Climate research including ocean and arctic/polar research
Clean energy
Geotechnology and early warning systems for geohazards
Marine research – bioprospecting and polar research
Nano-science/ technology primarily related to clean energy and solar energy and medical issues
Vaccines – human and fish/ animal, including vaccination programmes and biotechnology of new vaccine development
Research fields and activities (1)
Workshops: 2007-2010 RCN co-organised bilateral R&I confs in the fields of Climate Change, Renewable Energy, Geohazards, Vaccination, Maternal / Child Health, Waste treatment and Solar energy
POLAR: National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Research (NCAOR), Goa, India established lab at Ny Aalesund, Svalbard. Norway pays 3 PhD grants for Indian students at UNIS, Svalbard in Arctic marine-ecology, -geology/glaciology, and –atmosphere/geophysics
Research fields and activities (2)
GEOTECHNICS: Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI ) has had projects in India for 20 years. Norway assists India to establish a NGI-like National Geotechnical Facility in Dehradun and Hyderabad with RCN-support to NGI
VACCINES:Human Vaccination research ca +20 mill NOK per year, at present around 60 mill NOK in total portfolio financed by Norway (India money pending)
Fish/animal Vaccination research: ca +20 mill NOK per year, total portfolio now around 100 mill NOK over 5 years financed by Norway
Research fields and activities (3)
CLIMATE:
- TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute), Dehli, has a 60 mill NOK over 5 year support agreement with the Norwegian Embassy, Dehli dedicated to climate, energy and environment activities including research- Bjerknes Centre of Excellence, University of Bergen - Nansen Environment Remote SEnsning Centre (NERC) and its satellite NERCI in Kerala- CICERO, University of Oslo
HEALTH AND WELFARE
Norwegian-Indian Partnership Initiative (NIPI) on Maternal and Child health (UN Millennium Goals 4+5) promoted by the Norwegian Prime Minister. Budget: 100 mill NOK per year of which 5% are allocated to research = 15 mill NOK over 3 years started 2009.
EU-coordinated research initiative towards India
A Strategic Forum for International Sci & Tech Cooperation (SFIC)was established 2009 to coordinate existing and new bilateral European research and innovation initiatives towards big countries / emerging economies
Norway participates as EU-associated country. RCN in WG
India is chosen as pilot country
Water-related challenges (availablility, environment, climate, health, food) is chosen as pilot area of cooperation
A stakeholders conference organised in Delhi 10-12 Nov 2010with high-level political and governmental attendance and speakers from research, innovation and industry
Norw speaker: Jon Ove Hagen, UiO, Water and Climate Change
Norw discussant: Ola M Johannessen, Nansensenteret
