  1. Fra forskningssamarbeid til utdanningssamarbeid- hvilke institusjoner i India samarbeider norske forskningsmiljøer med? Hans M Borchgrevink, Norges forskningsrådSIU-seminar BI, Oslo 19 okt 2012

  2. Key recommendation: • Start Indo-Norwegian collaboration in education at institutionswithongoingresearchcollaboration • Add master students to an ongoing or startingresearchprojectwhich has Indian and Norwegian supervisors. Requiresspecialfunding, as RCN does not fund master students • Take it from there and follow-up withMoUsoncollaboration in education

  3. Norwegian researchinitiativestowards India (1) • Indo-Norwegian state-to-state agreement 2006 (researcher exchange etc)- Joint Working Group (JWG) Sci & Tech between *Indian DeptSci & Tech (DST) and *The Norwegian Ministry for Education and Research (facilitated by RCN)- Programme of Cooperation (2009-2012) specifies research priorities • The NorwGovernment’sStrategy for Cooperation Norway - India (2009) http://www.regjeringen.no/upload/UD/Vedlegg/Utvikling/Indiastrategi_Norsk_engelsk_endelig.pdf.Cooperation onresearch and highereducation to be strengthened • INDNOR 2010-2019: a 2.5 mill € per yearresearchprogramme for 5+5 years for Indo-Norwegian researchcollaborationadministered by RCNInitial priorities: - Climate, environment, cleanenergy- Societaldevelopment- International politicalissuesCalls administered by thethematically relevant RCN programme/-board

  4. Norwegian researchinitiativestowards India (2) • JOINTINDNOR: INDNOR call with Indian (activity-matched) co-funding, so far with DST, joint project description involving Indian and Norwegian research institutions submitting proposals to DST and RCN, respectively. JWG approves.Initial priorities:• Climateresearchincluding CCS (carboncapture / storage)  • Renewableenergyincluding solar energy • Geotechnology and earlywarning systems for geohazards • Nano-science/ technologyrelated to renewableenergy • INDEMB: Norw Embassy in Delhi funding calls 3 mill€/year for 5 years, RCN adm. • NorwSciCounsellor in Delhi from Aug 2012: Marianne Jensen, former RCN • EU initiatives incl Norway: SFIC for coordination of European research towards India/China/USA. India pilot country.New Indigo: ERA-Net supporting networking and collab. calls

  5. General options for researchcollaborationIndia – Norway • Non-Norwegian researchersmay be funded via Norwegian researchinstitution(e.g. institute, university) – whichis the RCN contract partner • Indo-Norwegian projectsmaycompete for all RCN funds via the Norwegian institution • Norwegian GovernmentingoingScholarshipsopen for India in competitionwithothercountries (RCN, 2009--) • INDNOR & JOINTINDNOR fundingearmarked for Indo-Norwegian researchcollaborationprojects

  6. Indo-Norwegian research priorities Programme of Cooperation (PoC) in Science & Technology India – Norway (2009-2012) • Climate research including ocean and arctic/polar research • Clean (renewable) 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 Supplementary areas agreed during JWG Sci & Tech (2011): • ICT • Glaciology • Medical research (cancer, diabetes, infectious diseases etc) • Social aspects of climate change related issues (adaption)

  7. Indo-Norwegian workshops 2007-2012 co-organised/funded by RCN (mostly in India) • Climate Change • Renewable Energy • Geohazards • Vaccination • Maternal / Child Health • Waste treatment • Solar energy • Water and Climate Change (2011) • Geohazards (2011) • India NTNU 2011 Week (Oct 2011, >100 papers) • ICAM-2011: Solar Energy Materials; Hydrogen Storage • Climate Change and Hydrology (DSDS Delhi 2012) • Social sciences (Univ Bergen; NTNU Trondheim 2012)

  8. Recentcalls co-funded by RCN programmes, INDNOR and EU • NORKLIMA: Climate change and impacts in Norway 2,25 mill Eur, 3 projects funded • RENERGI: Cleanenergyfor thefuture, 2,25 mill Eur, 3 projects funded • NORGLOBAL: Norway Global partner - Social science, ca 2 mill€, in process • New-Indigo: European ERA-net, call 0.6 millEur «Biotechnology and human Health», in process JOINTINDNOR with India (DST): MILJØ 2015Environment- Water Resource Management- Water relatedeffectsofchanges in massbalanceofglaciers/rivers- Studies ofAquatic and TerrestrialEcosystems- FreshwaterBiodiversity2 mill USD from RCN, DST activitymatchedfunding, in process
