China-India-US Workshop on Science,
Technology and Innovation Policy
July 7 – 9, 2008
A China-India-US Workshop on Science, Technology and Innovation Policy was held on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, India, from July 7 – 9, 2008. The event was supported by the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum, with additional support from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the National Institute of Advanced Studies. The core of the workshop consisted of three plenary sessions with invited presentations by a speaker from each of the three countries, followed by remarks by commentators and open discussion. Invited presentations illuminated the workings of the research and innovation systems in the three countries for the benefit of those from the other two countries. They also pointed to areas where further bi- or tri-lateral research cooperation would be desirable and feasible. In order to provide a measure of specificity, each of the three plenary sessions focused on a different sector in which the three countries have significant interest: power generation from coal, pharmaceuticals, and information technology. Four Young Scholars from the United States ranging from graduate students through post-docs who have held their doctoral degrees for less than two years were selected to participate in the workshop and make visits to sites of professional interest in India following the event. The respective Chinese, Indian and US co-chairs who constitute the organizing committee for the workshop are Mu Rongping, Director-General of the Institute of Policy and Management of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Dilip Ajuha, ISRO Professor of Science and Technology Policy at the National Institute of Advanced Studies, and Richard P. Suttmeier of the Political Science Department of the University of Oregon.
