Mr. Chandrajit Banerjee

India has a longstanding strategic partnership with France. Both the countries share a qualitative and quantitative relationship. Our bilateral initiatives in the form of a Joint Committee for Economic and Technical cooperation, strategic dialogue instituted at the national security advisors level and the Indo-French CEOs Forum are playing an important role in taking efforts to the next level. Over the years, India and France have successfully cooperated in many critical areas. We have managed to leverage our partnerships in infrastructure, civil nuclear energy and defence, to mention a few. Cooperation in sci-ence and technology and space research has also continued to grow exponentially. Indeed, these stra-tegic partnerships are of an enduring nature and offer new opportunities for businesses of both sides.

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the Department of Science & Technology have been organizing Technology Summit with a Partner Country every year for the last 18 years. The purpose of this annual event is to forge partnerships among Indian industry, institutions and government agencies and the similar organizations from the Partner Country, leading to better businesses and large-scale yuiogr"hktkãzy4"IOO"oy"ngvv’"zu"ng¦k"Lxgtik"gy"znk"Vgxztkx"Iu{tzx’"ul"znk"Y{ssoz"znoy"’kgx4"O"ykk"g"tk}"dimension of Indo-French partnerships through this Summit. We believe that the partnership between technology driven French SMEs and innovation driven Indian SMEs will result into co-development of many new products and services those are technology intensive and at the same time affordable to Indian market and to similar other markets in the world. The Summit will provide an ideal platform for forging such collaborations.

I wish the Summit all the success.

This Summit aims to inaugurate a iruykx" yioktzoã"i" gtj" zkinturumoigr"partnership between France and India and create an ecosystem bringing together all French and Indian actors in research, development, innovation and higher education. This is in line with objectives of the Strategic Partnership signed in 1998. At a more granular level, the Summit will contribute to fostering further joint research programs between the two nations as equal partners; facilitating and supporting investments from French companies into India and Indian companies into France; encouraging closer people-to-people contact; fostering people mobility between the two countries; building up an ambitious education plan; and encouraging greater student exchanges between both countries.

The main objective of the Summit is zu"vxu¦ojk"g"vrgzluxs"lux"yioktzoã"i2"zkinturumoigr"and trade exchanges between the two countries. This Summit will lend visibility to India and

France’s achievements in research, development and innovation as well as provide opportunities to market new products and services (technology transfer, joint R&D projects or market access). The Summit will allow French and Indian public and private sectors to demonstrate their latest innovations and meet potential partners to develop new technologies and create new synergies in bilateral collaborations.

The Summit will also provide an excellent platform to sign agreements. A platform to display the new paths of collaborations between France and India: eight new Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, and agreements are to be signed between Indian and French Institutions (public or private). Three Indo-French joint laboratories are established in znk"ã"krj"ul"rolk"yioktiky"hkz}kkt"Otykxs"ux"ITXY"and Indian Institutions.

Ms. Priscille BRODIN from Institut Pasteur de Lille

The last decade has seen the development of automated microscopy and its adaptation for various areas of research, particularly infectious disease. Most of the high-content screening (HCS) platforms now integrate all of the following necessary steps: automated pipettes for assay miniaturization in 384-well plates, automated image acquisition and data storage and analysis. HCS was initially associated with RNA interference genetic screens for identifying host factors involved in host-pathogen interactions. More recently, both in academia and industry, HCS has been adapted for drug discovery purposes. Adaptation to high throughput screening in bacteriology has already led to the discovery of novel preclinical candidates that are very effective on intracellular microbes, which for instance in the case of z{hkxi{ruyoy"iutyzoz{zk"g"xkykx¦uox"zngz"oy"jolã"i{rz"zu"xkgin"h’"i{xxktz"gtzohouzoi"znkxgv’4

On the counter part, India labs will host ã"¦k" Lxktin"Vnj" yz{jktzy2" zngz"}orr"join IISc Bangalore, TIFR Mumbai and IIT Bombay.

Student’s mobility is a core element in building a robust Indo-French network of researchers. It is a starting point for new collaborations, establishing personal links between scientists. During the State visit of Mr François Hollande, President of France to India, in February 2013, the “Raman-Charpak Fellowship” was thus launched by Mrs Geneviève Fioraso, Minister for Research & Higher Education, and Mr Jaipal Reddy, Minister for Science & Technology.

Named after the French Nobel laureate Georges Charpak and the physicist and Nobel laureate Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, the programme aims at strengthening Indian-French cooperation in research. Funded by both the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) and the Indian Department of Science and Technology (DST), the fellowship is an evolution from the Charpak fellowship that was only for Indian students to go to France.The CEFIPRA, the Indo French Centre for Promotion of Advanced Research, is its implementing structure. Established in 1987, by M. Giscard d’Estaing, then President of France, and Mme. Indira Gandhi,

the then Prime Minister of India, CEFIPRA is a bilateral platform for cooperation in science and technology between India and France, hosting a programme of collaborative research in thrust areas of science. Last august, after receiving 308 applications, a committee of six experts from the DBT, the Ministry of Earth Sciences, the Council

ul" Yioktzoã"i"& Industrial Research, and DST, met to evaluate the proposals. The criteria included excellence of the research proposal, the motivation and

background of the candidate, and his past publications. Reviewing the letters from the hosting lab, the committee was particularly careful in avoiding any mismatch between the student and the French or Indian team. Most of all, the project had to be innovative and promising. Among the selected candidates from India : three are from the life sciences, two are into chemical sciences, one in mathematics and three in physical sciences. Two French Phd students have a physical sciences background, two are life scientists, and one is into chemical sciences.

Inria is expanding its research collaborations with numerous partners in India. Each year, the Institute welcomes several dozen Indian students into its research teams. During the French-India Technology Summit in New Delhi, Inria will commit to working alongside the Department of Science and Technology (DST) of the Indian Government to further its collaborations with local names from the digital world.

Strengthening links between Inria researchers and Indian researchers

During the India France Technology Summit in New Delhi, Inria and the DST will be signing a memorandum of understanding aimed at strengthening future collaborations between Inria researchers and Indian researchers via the development of a joint research and applications program. Three initial areas will be targeted: big data, cyber-physical systems (including

embedded systems) and high-performance computing. As part of a seminar on “Challenges in Overcoming Complexity: from Big Data to Cyber-Physical Systems”, coordinated by the CEFIPRA (Franco-Indian Centre for Promoting Advanced Research), on 4-5 April 2013 at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in New Delhi, Inria, the French National Centre lux" Yioktzoã"i" Xkykgxin"(CNRS) and the DST zumkznkx" ojktzoã"kj" znkyk"topics as their priority, since they pose great potential for collaboration between France and India.

I n f e c t i o u s diseases are among the major threats in India, accounting for 45% of deaths. Tu b e rc u l o s i s , Malaria, HIV,

It is now becoming more and more urgent to combat these diseases.

Following the same trend, Sylviane Pied completed a part of her Post doctoral trainee during 1992 to 1994 at ICGEB with Pr Chauhanin collaboration with Pr V.P. Sharma and Dr Pilaiat MRC on a project aiming to isolate parasite antigens that can be used to design a vaccine against malaria from culture of hepatocytes infected with Plasmodium falciparum. Although at that time, it was an overambitious risky project, not easily feasible due to technological constraints; she “learnt a lot on what is malaria and more generally on the complexity to tackle infectious diseases on the ã"krjÖ4

Over 70 % of the India’s 1.2 billion population faces the risk of Malaria, with an estimated 310 million people at high risk. Plasmodium falciparum, which causes the most lethal form of human malaria, kills around one million people a year. It is particularly rampant in India, especially in rural areas.

This situation is worsened by the development of resistance of the parasite to conventional drugs and of the mosquitoes to insecticide, with no vaccine available.

The rise of malaria incidence in India emphasizes the need of a better understanding of the disease, especially host-pathogen interaction }noin"iu{rj"hk"g"ã"xyz"yzkv"zu}gxjy"the development of successful therapeutic interventions. It also highlights the importance of the research in endemic human populations and particularly, the mechanisms underlying severe manifestation or protection as a mean to identify novel strategies zu" jk¦kruv" klã"ioktz"prophylactic or vaccine therapies.

It now becomes necessary to extend these studies by integrative research with new perspectives and by using advanced technologies.

A lot of knowledge has been acquired using reductionist approaches on the elementary parts constituting the Immune system and their properties, but we have little information on its functioning as a whole when interacting with an infectious agent. Indeed, some new properties emerge that cannot

be explained by the simple addition of each part of the immune system. Also, the impact of environmental factors on the interaction between the parasite and the host (the patient) needs to be understood.

To study these problems the project of an International Associated Laboratory has being worked upon by French CNRS and Indian DBT. The LIA SIGID (system immunology and genetics of infectious diseases) will integrate multidisciplinary teams in India and France including

c l i n i c i a n s , immunologists, g e n e t i c i s t s , m o l e c u l a r b i o l o g i s t s , mathematicians.

properties of the IS during infectious diseases would be of a paramount interest to design more effective therapies and obligatory to develop a really new generation of vaccines.

In parallel, work is undergoing to set up an Indo-French integrated PhD program with Pierre and Marie Curie, Lille 2 and Manipal Universities on system Immunology and genetics of infectious diseases.

Autoimmune diseases are emerging as the new challenge in medicine. The pattern of these diseases varies depending on the genetic and environmental factors. Such factors in Indian population are different from the West, which results in different disease expression, response to treatment, and disease outcome. Therefore, the treatment protocols based on reports from the West may not be the most appropriate for Indian population. With this background, the INSERM team and a group of researchers lead by Dr V S Negi at JIPMER, Pondicherry have undertaken a yvkioã"i"yz{j’"ut"the expression of such diseases. Znk’" ã"xyz"have targeted the particular T cell. Those T lymphocytes, together with dendritic cells, B lymphocytes and antibodies are key players of the immune system. They recognize and neutralize yvkioã"igrr’" otlkizou{y" gmktzy" gtj"thus help in protecting human beings and animals, constantly challenged by pathogenic microbial aggression. However, for reasons that are not clear yet, when these

antibodies and T lymphocytes target body’s own tissues and organs, they cause harmful autoimmune diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, lupus, etc.

In a joint project, the INSERM team (U872 Eq16) in Paris lead by Srini Kaveri and their Indian colleagues have worked on the association of T cell repertoire with HLA alleles, clinical

expression, and disease outcome in lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Thanks to this collaborative study, the technique of ‘spectratyping’ for studying the T cell repertoire, that monitor the immune response, and several other technologies have been successfully transferred and established at JIPMER, Pondicherry.

Complementary research interests on immuno haematology and in particular on haemophilia and autoimmunity initiated strong collaborative projects between the National Institute of

Immunohaematology (NIIH), Mumbai and the INSERM team in Paris In late nineties. The INSERM team had then made an interesting observation that some of the antibodies in patients with haemophilia behave

like enzymes (abzymes), in that, they not only recognise but also cut their targets into pieces. The clinical relevance of such abzymes, however, was not known. A collaborative effort between Dr Kaveri and DrMohantyof NIIH allowed the demonstration that such antibodies are present both in European and Indian patients with haemophilia1. This study laid the

foundation for a strong and long-standing collaboration that has culminated in the establishment of an ‘International Associated Laboratory (LIA)’ between NIIH of ICMR and U872Eq16 of INSERM. The LIA has allowed addressing several important issues on abzymesin diseases such as lupus, scleroderma and malaria and understanding the host response to infectious pathogens.

Some of the results from these studies are patented and will help in technology transfer, improving the diagnostic approaches and disease management.

PROTECTMaternal malnutrition & the developing brain

In 2003, Pierre Gressens and Shyamala Mani attended an lndo-French (lCMR-INSERM) Workshop on “Neuroprotection in EarlyLife” held at the National Institute of Mental Health And NeuroSciences, (NIMHANS) Bangalore whose aim was to foster research. One of the recommendations of the workshop was to develop joint research proposals in the area of “Basic research in normal neural development and experimental models of developmental lesions in brain”.

Pierre Gressens and Shyamala Mani obtained funding for a research grant to ICMR-INSERM on “Maternal malnutrition and periods of vulnerability and reversibility in the developing brain: A focus on cognitive functioning, molecular correlates and neuropro tec t ion” . Subsequently their collaboration was also supported by the French embassy through the Sandwich PhD Fellowship Programme and funding for exchange visits of scientists.

During these years there were several bilateral exchanges at the principle investigator, post-doctoral associates and student levels. These exchanges led to several new research ideas that were enthusiastically pursued by collaborators in India and France. The agreement to set up an International Associated Laboratory was signed between INSERM and the National Brain Research Centre

to coincide with the visit of the former French President Nicolas Sarkozy in January 2008. The joint laboratory was named “PROTECT” that stood for ‘Promoting Research Oriented Towards Early CNS Therapies’. The mandate of the associated laboratory was to make contributions in basic mechanisms involved in developmental brain disorders and towards treatment

of neonatal brain disorders. Following the signing of the agreement, in 2009, Pierre Gressens and Shyamala Mani successfully obtained funding from the Indo-French Center for the Promotion of Advanced R e s e a r c h (CEFIPRA) for their project entitled “Neural differentiation of embryonic stem cells”.

During this time several important bilateral transfer of technologies were made.

Some examples are the culture of murine and human embryonic stem cells and human (India to France), intracerebral transplantation of stem cells (from France to India), models ul" t{zxozoutgr" jkã"iokti’" .Otjog" zu"France) and model of neonatal brain damage (from France to India).

Following the number of joint publications in well known international journals that the team has produced, they successfully competed for a second CEFIPRA

grant that was awarded to them in 2013 titled “Study of neural development in hiPS models of microcephaly”. In addition, the team is set to sign a second International Joint Laboratory agreement for the coming four years.

Some of the important research results to their credit until now are to show the long term functional consequence of maternal malnutrition on fetal brain development, to show how important signalling pathways in development are affected in premature human newborn and to show the role of various intrinsic and extrinsic factors in the differentiation of embryonic stem cells into different neuronal subtypes.

In terms of therapeutic advances some of their results have been to show the central role of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor in the neuroprotective effects of S18943 ampakine and the the neuroprotective effects of Hepatocarcinoma Intestine Pancreas protein. Currently they are working on developing humanized models of developmental disorders.

The Indian medical device market is the fourth largest in Asia and emerging as a low-cost base of manufacturing medical devices for the global healthcare market. It is a segment that is growing at 10% and is seen to move at a faster clip of 15-20% in the next years. Healthcare right now forms a modest 3.87% in the global semiconductor industry earnings.

STMicroelectronics is tapping this potential locally with a two-pronged approach:

Three examples are presented in this article in the areas of Remote Patient Monitoring, Diagnostics and Treatment.

The Remote patient monitoring is an area with far reaching consequences, as it helps bring expertise mostly restricted in iozoky" zu" znk" lgx" ä"{tm" xkmouty"of the country. The example is g" IK" ikxzoã"kj" huj’3mgzk}g’"device developed in Europe that is capable of measuring heart rate, ElectroCardioGram (ECG), physical activity, breathing rate and body position. This device is now in integration phase at several Indian health care service providers inside their Home Body Network solutions. The 1st commercial offering is expected to be launched in India in 2014. Extension to other remote monitoring devices is now in discussion.

In the Diagnostics space, with the intention of bringing routine lab tests to doctor’s table or patient home, a Diagnostic equipment to measure Hemoglobin (Hb) is developed by a start-up incubated from IIT-Delhi, who`s expertize is in bio-chemistry while ST developed the electronic hardware. The clinical tests are to be started now in collaboration with a top Indian institute, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). Treatment/Drug Delivery is one

of the very exciting areas open for i n n o v a t i o n . An e-patch has been d e v e l o p e d by adding an

Contrary to clichés about India,

TAGEOS is an example of a

successful business opportunity

that was realised within a short

space of time. The technology

showcased by TAGEOS

during the SmartCards Expo

2012 convinced local players

in India, paving the way for

TAGEOS to decide on setting

The second step for TAGEOS,

ICMRInstitutional Partner

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), New Delhi, the apex body in India for the formulation, coordination and promotion of biomedical research, is one of the oldest medical research bodies in the world.

As early as in 1911, the Government of India set up the Indian Research Fund Association .OXLG/"}ozn"znk"yvkioã"i"uhpkizo¦k"ul"yvutyuxotm"and coordinating medical research in the country. After independence, several important changes were made in the organisation and the activities of the IRFA. It was redesignated in 1949 as the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) with considerably expanded scope of functions.

The ICMR is funded by the Government of India through the Department of Health Research, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.The Council’s research priorities coincide with the National health priorities such as control and management of communicable diseases,

fertility control, maternal and child health, control of nutritional disorders, developing alternative strategies for health care delivery, containment within safety limits of environmental and occupational health problems; research on major non-communicable diseases like cancer, cardiovascular diseases, blindness, diabetes and other metabolic and haematological disorders; mental health research and drug research (including traditional remedies). All these efforts are undertaken with a view to reduce the total burden of disease and to promote health and well-being of the population.

The Governing Body of the Council is presided over by the Union Health Minister. It is assisted ot" yioktzoã"i" gtj" zkintoigr" sgzzkxy" h’" g"Yioktzoã"i" Gj¦oyux’"Hugxj" iusvxoyotm" ksotktz"experts in different biomedical disciplines.

With experience of observing, over several decades, the evolution of various teaching and research growth pathways in the older established IITs, the path set out in IIT Indore’s vision is clear. There is tremendous excitement amongst all faculty and staff that, indeed IIT Indore can be “different”. The campus design has been adapted to an approach of bringing in revolutionary ethos, by Indian standards, in the living and working styles at the IIT Indore vkxsgtktz" igsv{y4" Znoy" }u{rj" hk" xkä"kizkj"not only in the physical sense of integrating traditional departments into one large academic environment where students and faculty from different specializations interact and exchange ideas and thoughts freely, but also in the research and teaching methodologies.

fundamentals coupled with approach leading to interdisciplinary research is recognized at IIT Indore to be an essential requirement for the l{rã"rrsktz"ul"znk"iu{tzx’Ùy"tkkjy"ot"znk"iusotm"years. Biology as a core subject to be linked with other science and engineering disciplines has lead to the formation of a Bio group at IIT Indore and to its credit, it has already formed a partnership in the area of biomedical research with a U.K. university and associated hospitals. There is tremendous scope in this rich area for growth and IIT Indore endeavors to expand in biosciences and biomedical engineering in jk¦kruvotm"g"l{rr3ä"kjmkj"Iktzxk"ul"Houskjoigr"and Bioengineering Research, in collaboration with interested partners. IIT Indore also envisions a strong centre of materials science and surface engineering and in the area of microelectronics and electrical engineering. A Bioscience and Bio-medical Engineering group, a Surface Science and Engineering group and an Astrophysics group have already been established and are functional at this moment.

It is no doubt that in the future several new areas of frontline research will gain attention of researchers.

TERIPartner

TERI was formally established in 1974 with the purpose of tackling and dealing with the immense and acute problems that mankind is likely to face within in the years ahead on account of the gradual depletion of the earth’s ã"tozk"ktkxm’" xkyu{xiky"}noin"gxk" rgxmkr’"tut3renewable and on account of the existing methods of their use which are polluting.

Over the years the Institute has developed a wider interpretation of this core purpose and its application. Consequently, TERI has created an environment that is enabling, dynamic and inspiring for the development of yur{zouty" zu" mruhgr" vxuhrksy" ot" znk" ã"krjy" ul"energy, environment and current patterns of development, which are largely unsustainable. The Institute has grown substantially over the years, particularly, since it launched its own research activities and established a base in New Delhi, its registered headquarters.

The central element of TERI’s philosophy has been its reliance on entrepreneurial skills zu" ixkgzk" hktkã"zy" lux" yuiokz’" znxu{mn" znk"development and dissemination of intellectual property. The strength of the Institute lies in not only identifying and articulating intellectual challenges straddling a number of disciplines of knowledge but also in mounting research, training and demonstration projects leading zu" jk¦kruvsktz" ul" yvkioã"i" vxuhrks3hgykj"gj¦gtikj"zkinturumoky"zngz"nkrv"igxx’"hktkã"zy"to society at large.

The Institute’s growth has been evolutionary, driven by a vision of the future and rooted in challenges looming today, based on an approach that looks beyond the present and across the globe. TERI has, therefore, grown to establish a presence not only in different corners and regions of India but is perhaps the only developing country institution to have established a presence in North America and Europe and on the Asian continent in Japan, Malaysia and the Gulf.

The global presence and reach attained by TERI are not only substantiated by its presence in different parts of the world, but also in terms of the wide geographical relevance of its activities. Symbolic of this fact is the annual Delhi Sustainable Development Summit (DSDS), a major event focusing on sustainable development, the pursuit of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and assessment of worldwide progress in these critical areas. DSDS attracts the most prominent thinkers and vxgizozoutkxy"ot"g"xgtmk"ul"ã"krjy"zngz"osvotmk"ut"development. Since development worldwide is moving towards an architecture based on partnerships, the leaders who participate in DSDS come from government, business and industry, multilateral and bilateral organizations, research and academia and civil society. Encouraged by the success of DSDS, TERI has now established the World Sustainable Development Forum (WSDF), which is guided by the patronage of a group of select world leaders. WSDF would extend the experience of each DSDS to other parts of the world and carry out careful evaluation and monitoring of developments worldwide, particularly in

116


meeting the MDGs.

The Institute established the TERI University in 1998. Initially set-up as the TERI School of Advanced Studies, it received the status of a deemed university in 1999. The University is a unique institution of higher learning exclusively for programmes leading to PhD and Masters level degrees. Its uniqueness lies in the wealth of research carried out within TERI as well as by its faculty and students making it a genuinely research based University.

TERI now has staff strength of over 919 dedicated employees, drawn from a range of disciplines and experience, supported by infrastructure and facilities, which are world class and distinctively state-of-the-art. The Institute continues to grow in size, spread and intensity of work undertaken.

In this world of increasing globalization and buoyed by optimism generated by the success of the Indian economy TERI moves forward to meet the challenges of the future through the pursuit of excellence embedded in its visionary charter.
