The workshop intends to open up the discussion on the oppor tunities and challenges the different BRIC countries offer to European inn ovation policy and what are the most effective ways to address the key col laboration issues. This workshop\, hosted by the representation of the Sta te of Baden-Württemberg to the EU\, will bring together 20 to 30 leading e xperts and policy makers for a two-day period to discuss the rationales\, challenges and opportunities to develop European innovation collaboration with emerging economies\, in particular with the BRIC countries. The works hop will allow extensive and informal discussions to examine the trends\, practices and policy approaches for enhancing collaboration in innovation with emerging economies BRIC in a globalised knowledge economy\, to identi fy specific areas of common interest or for further exploration\, and prov ide recommendations to the European Commission for EU innovation policy ma king. The invited participants include academics and others (think tanks\, business schools\, statisticians) that have analysed the trends\, practic es and impact of international R&D and innovation collaboration\; policy m akers and analysts that have designed\, implemented\, or are in the proces s of developing\, implementing measures or evaluating policies to support the international collaboration with emerging countries BRIC in Innovation and the opening up of national innovation systems\, as well as company re presentatives experienced in managing internationalisation of R&D and inno vation processes. The workshop focuses on the before-mentioned specific co llaboration issues with BRIC countries\, with a particular focus on defini ng the key challenges\, identifying proven approaches and instruments to t hese\, and defining relevant policy recommendations for the European innov ation policy. The workshop is organised in 4 sessions:Innovation collabor ation beyond Europe outlining relevant policy areas dealing with globalisa tion aspects of innovationChallenges and opportunities with specific BRIC economies discussing specific characteristics of BRICS' national innovatio n systemsApproaches and practices in innovation collaboration with BRIC ec onomies aiming at facilitating innovation collaboration with BRIC countrie sImplications for European innovation policy addressing integrated approac hes in support of innovation collaboration with BRICsPapers available at: http://www.proinno-europe.eu/index.cfm?fuseaction=workshops.ws_paper&ID=29 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20090710T000000 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20090709T000000 LOCATION:Representation of the State of Baden-Württemberg to the EU\, Rue B elliard\, 60-62\, 1040 Brussels STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:INNO-Views Workshop on Emerging Economies (BRIC Countries) and Inno vation UID:225::Newindigo::Object::Event::DB URL:http://www.newindigo.eu/object/event/225.html END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20090907T133210 DESCRIPTION:The EU-India S&T Cooperation Days (http://www.euindiacoop.org)\ , a 3-day Event to promote and enhance EU-India Scientific Cooperation off ers a great opportunity to get involved in European projects\, to discover the funding opportunities\, learn the rules of participation and to contr ibute to the definition of future research topics of mutual interest for t he EU and India.The event focuses on the following themes: Food\, Agricult ure\, Fisheries and Biotechnology and HealthThe event is organized in coop eration with the EC Delegation\, relevant networks and projects\, namely o ur own project New INDIGO\, EUINEC\, BIOCIRCLE\, and EBTC with the kind su pport of the European Commission.With an aim to improve and facilitate S&T cooperation\, the EU-India S&T Cooperation days offer:Networking - an opp ortunity for stakeholders from the EU and India to initiate cooperation in diverse fields of research and to identify areas of common interest for f uture collaborationLatest Information - highlighting the opportunities for cooperation available for European and Indian stakeholdersCapacity buildi ng - empowering potential applicants with practical know-how on project de velopment and implementation under FP7Policy analysis and development - vi a interactive roundtable discussions where EU and Indian researchers will formulate suggestions for future priority areas of mutual interestThe prog ramme consists of:Day 1: Networking Event - for people currently engaged i n FP7 projects\, by invitation onlyDay 2: Info Day and Partnering Event - for people interested to get involved in FP7Day 3: Parallel Programmes - T raining for Researchers and Round Table Discussions for Policy MakersSpeak ers\, moderators and trainers include Representatives from the European Co mmission\, the Indian Government\, Key Experts on EU funded projects and S enior Scientists.Participation is free of charge upon registration and off ers a unique possibility to benefit from and contribute to EU India scient ific cooperation.Join the event by registering before 10 October 2009.Limi ted availability\, registration ends at 200 participants!  DTEND;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20091106T000000 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20091104T000000 LOCATION:New Delhi STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:EU-India S&T Cooperation Days UID:449::Newindigo::Object::Event::DB URL:http://www.newindigo.eu/object/event/449.html END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20100111T150337 DESCRIPTION:Today\, New INDIGO launches its Call for Proposals for networke d research projects between India and Europe in the area of Biotechnology and Health\, more concretely in the following fields:Biomarkers and diagno sticsBioinformatics for healthStructural biology for healthInternational r esearch teams with at least 1 participant from India and 2 from different European countries can apply for mobility and workshop funds.Please refer to our website's Networking Pilot Programme section for further informatio n.

The growing trend of urbanization and its in creasing human population has lead to immense pressure on our various envi ronmental resources and has put strain on the green cover. Our youth will be the brunt bearers of the negative impact of environment degradation and unsustainable growth practices. There is an urgent need to sensitize the masses specially the school goers who hold the key to bring the much neede d change in our thoughts that will pursue conservation of natural resource s. These students and youth being the citizens of tomorrow will be adverse ly impacted by present actions around the world. Thus it is imperative tha t play a proactive role in addressing key environmental issues and are sen sitized to mitigate and adapt to these changes.We at TERI have been genera ting awareness amongst the students and youth by celebrating the Earth Day with a key theme since the year 1998.

Open Access model  provides opportunities f or free and online access to scholarly literature that can be disseminated further with proper  author attribution. Significant developments in open access publishing have taken place in recent years with several new  majo r funding policies coming into effect. The US National Institutes of Healt h (NIH) announced their Public Access  Policy\, requiring all peer-reviewe d articles resulting from research carried out with NIH funding to be depo sited in  PubMed Central and to be made freely available within 12 months of publication.  Recently\, the European Commission  has introduced a pilo t open access project in relation to the EC Seventh Research Framework Pro gram (FP7) of funding  requiring research grant recipients to deposit Open Access copies of published articles into an appropriate repository\,  the maximum delay being 6 or 12 months\, depending on the subject area. The c onventional research publications do not reach a wide audience even among scientific community\, affecting both  its visibility and impact\; hence\, publishing in OA journals and setting up institutional archives/repositor ies are important  for scientific advancement. As it provides much greater visibility\, it also improves impact for research work. In India there  a re only a few research institutions that have their Institutional Archives / Repositories in place\, Indian Institute of  Science\, a few constituent laboratories of CSIR and some of the NITs are among those. Initiatives at national level in this  direction and motivation of scientific and techno logical community for their active involvement in this programme are the  needs of the hour.    Open Innovation  Open Innovation has advantages such as\, faster time to market\,  reducing R&D and product development costs\ , tapping  global pool of experts\, getting new product ideas\, uncovering ready made    solutions and sharing risk with others.  Organizations in t he era of rising cost of technology development and shorter product life c ycles. It enables  organizations to expand their reach to the global brain comprising scientists\, researchers\, students\, faculties\, research  in stitutes\, inventors\, consulting firms\, small and medium sized businesse s and entrepreneurs. It is the use of purposive inflows and outflows of kn owledge to accelerate internal innovation. Connections\, contacts and  com munications between industries and experts of different fields are highly important in the  innovation processes. It is  important to create and enc ourage contexts and   environments where serendipity may occur. Growing at tention has  recently been devoted to the concept of open innovations both in the academia as well as in the practices of  business  life\, accessin g knowledge and skills from outside including academia and national resear ch laboratories More: http://www.sisconference2010.org/index.htm DTEND;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20101126T000000 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20101124T000000 LOCATION:Kolkata STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Conference on Open Access: Gateway to Open Innovation UID:1985::Newindigo::Object::Event::DB URL:http://www.newindigo.eu/object/event/1985.html END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20100708T154308 DESCRIPTION:The EU-India Cluster event will take place in Delhi on 1 Decemb er 2010 at the occasion of the TCI annual Global conference on competitive ness\, innovative clusters and prosperity.The objective of the EU-India cl uster event is to stimulate research\, innovation and industrial cooperati on between European and Indian clusters through increasing mutual awarenes s on cluster policies\, development methods and management practices\; Fos tering cooperation between research\, innovation and industrial clusters i n Europe and in India\; and Facilitating in Europe and in India access to and contact with the appropriate stakeholders and understanding of their r espective research\, innovation and industrial environments.On the Europea n side\, the potential participants include clusters as such but also netw orks of clusters (thematic or geographic) as well as ETPs (European Techno logy Platforms) and KICs (European Knowledge Innovation Communities).India is predicted to be become one of the world's leading economic power and R &D related center.

GREEN‐TECH‐ From g rey to green. How to improve the sustainability of wastewater and drinking water treatment is a networking project funded by New INDIGO Initiative f or the Development and Integration of Indian and European research. The co nsortium is composed of partners: Catalan Institute for Water Research (IC RA) from Girona\, Spain (coordinator)\, CIEMAT‐ Plataforma Solar de Alemer ia\, Spain\, University of Antwerp\, Belgium and two partners from India: Jadavpur University and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). Objecti ves and topicsThe objective of the workshop is to provide a networking pla tform to share knowledge and experiences in sustainable water treatment te chnologies. Workshop will focus on the following topics:i. Application of sustainable wastewater treatment systems including natural treatment syste ms such aslagoons/constructed wetlands\, anaerobic digesters such as USAB\ , hybrid reactor and soil aquifer treatmenttechnologies (artificial aquife r recharge).ii. Improvements in existing conventional or advanced treatmen ts (not considered sustainable at the moment) in order to reduce the energ y usage\, pollutant discharge and chemical feed. Examples are membrane tec hnologies (MBR\, RO\, NF)\, advanced oxidation processes (AOP) where the o ptions to improve the sustainability are based on energy saving (through t he application of renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power and optimizing such devices by means of knowledge‐based control system or on process intensification through increased plant compactness (reduced volum es) and modular solutions available for point and non‐point sources.iii. A pplication of technologies that permit harvesting of resources\, such as n utrients (nitrogen and phosphorus recovery)\, organic chemicals and energy (biogas) from wastewater.
