Summer symposium in UK

The United Kingdom and India scientists will brainstorm further direction and bilateral cooperation between the two countries at a symposium next summer.

The India-UK Frontiers of Science Symposium will bring together science leaders across disciplines for brainstorming on the future direction of the bilateral cooperation.

This was decided at a meeting of Science & Technology Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan and UK Minister of State for Science, Research and Innovation Jo Johnson in New Delhi on 1 Nov 2017.

The Ministers also reviewed the progress made in the India-UK partnership in science, technology and innovation which has been significantly intensified under the Newton-Bhabha programme.

Based on the shared principles of co-funding, co-development and co-creation multiple agencies both in India and UK are seamlessly contributing to the multifaceted cooperation which covers the three strands of people, project and translational research partnerships.

Both the Ministers reiterated the spirit and essence of the Newton-Bhabha program which underlines that the scientific knowledge creation and its application is directed for the welfare of both the nations.

Dr Vardhan remarked that “harnessing science and technology for a better future of our people is the new spirit which drives the present Indo-UK cooperation.” fii-news.com
