Policy Analysis, Research priorities
Analysing the research dimension of Indian ICT policy and the EU's i2010 strategy and prepare a comprehensive Report reflecting the EU & Indian policy position vis-à-vis joint research and opportunities.
Creating an International Dialogue
A stakeholder community encompassing research, academia, enterprises, NGOs and policy advocates from the EU and India will be constituted for the first time to deal with the policy issues underlying research cooperation in ICTs. Having had widespread actions in India to promote research cooperation with the EU over the past years, the consortium believes that the time has come to investigate core issues that would impact long term cooperation. The stakeholder community will play a decisive role in articulating the issues and owning up the recommendations and propositions that emanate from the project actions and facilitating the buy-in within their constituencies.

The meeting is aimed at planning work for the next 24 months of work which will see the project engaging EU and Indian ICT stakeholders at a level where policy formulation pertaining to research can be aligned and supported to identify the priorities of key research stakeholders and constituencies. The outcome is to formulate a mutually-beneficial research and innovation agenda that can be taken up through specific bilateral initiatives.
