New Delhi:
After the US, Germany is the second most productive partner in
collaborative research with India in Science and Technology, a report released Friday said.
'Analysis of India's S&T Research Capabilities and International
Collaborative Strength, particularly in the context of Indo-German
Collaboration' was released by the German Research Foundation (DFG)
at the German embassy here.
"As many as 12.9 percent of all the Indian publications in
international collaborations have been shared with authors from
Germany," said the study.
According to DFG President Matthias Kleiner, the report reflects
upon the very intense scientific contacts between both countries
that the Foundation has noted over the last couple of years.
"We expect higher publication performances in the years to come,
thanks to more systematic cooperation in programmes through
international research training groups or priority programmes," he
added.
As part of the ongoing 'Germany and India 2011-2012: Infinite
Opportunities' festival, Germany will showcase how its renowned
science and technology ecosystem can help create sustainable
solutions for India's rapid urbanisation.
Organised under the aegis of the German Federal Ministry of
Education and Research (BMBF), in cooperation with Indian partner
institutions, numerous symposiums, workshops, expositions and
demonstration projects will be exhibited throughout India.
"Also on display will be cutting-edge research and technology in
the fields of clean air and water, efficient city mobility, cost
effective and durable construction materials, reliable energy
supplies and innovative city planning," said Kleiner.
The Indo-German overall scientific collaboration during 2004-2009
has grown at a remarkable annual average growth rate of 6.8
percent, the report said.
