Support
Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research (IFCPAR/CEFIPRA) is a model for international collaborative research in advanced areas of Science & Technology. The Centre was established in 1987 and is being supported by Department of Science & Technology, Government of India and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development, Government of France. CEFIPRA is actively involved in supporting Indo-French Science, Technology & Innovation (ST&I) system through various activities. Scientific Collaborative Research Programme focuses on academia-to-academia collaborations between Indian and French academic collaborators in various domains. Industry Academia Research & Development Programme emphasizes to develop the linkage between Industry and Academia from France and India. Dedicated mobility support programmes of CEFIPRA provide exposure to young researchers of the working, social and cultural environment of the partnering country. Targeted Programmes of CEFIPRA provide platform for Indian and French National Funding Agencies to implement a programmes for specific areas. Innovation programmes through PPP mode, are the programmes where industries join hands with CEFIPRA as a funding partner for supporting R & D in defined priority areas. Our mandate is to promote collaborative research between India and France in cutting edge Science and Technology.
National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT)
The National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) was established in November 1993 as an autonomous society under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India. NIOT is managed by a Governing Council and the Director is the head of the Institute. The major aim of starting NIOT under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, is to develop reliable indigenous technology to solve the various engineering problems associated with harvesting of non-living and living resources in the Indian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which is about two-thirds of the land area of India. MISSION STATEMENT - To develop world class technologies and their applications for sustainable utilization of ocean resources. - To provide competitive, value added technical services and solutions to organizations working in the oceans. - To develop a knowledge base and institutional capabilities in India for management of ocean resources and environment.
Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation
Our mission Gordon and Betty Moore established the foundation to create positive outcomes for future generations. In pursuit of that vision, we foster path-breaking scientific discovery, environmental conservation, patient care improvements and preservation of the special character of the San Francisco Bay Area.
Sorbonne University, whose campuses are in the heart of Paris, covers all major disciplinary fields and offers new transversal academic and research programs. In 2018, the merger of Paris-Sorbonne and Pierre et Marie Curie universities will transform Sorbonne University into a fully-fledged university with three autonomous faculties: Humanities and Social Sciences, Sciences and Medicine.
CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique)
The French National Center for Scientific Research (French: Centre national de la recherche scientifique, CNRS) is the largest governmental research organisation in France and the largest fundamental science agency in Europe. It employs 32,000 permanent employees (researchers, engineers, and administrative staff) and 6,000 temporary workers. Following a 2009 reorganisation, the CNRS is divided into 10 institutes:[3] Institute of Chemistry (INC) Institute of Ecology and Environment (INEE) Institute of Physics (INP) Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (IN2P3) Institute of Biological Sciences (INSB) Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences (INSHS) Institute for Computer Sciences (INS2I) Institute for Engineering and Systems Sciences (INSIS) Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INSMI) Institute for Earth Sciences and Astronomy (INSU)
Institut de Recherche pour le Développement
The IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement) is a French research organism, original and unique on the European development research scene. Emphasizing interdisciplinarity, the IRD has focused its research for over 65 years on the relationship between man and its environment, in Africa, Mediterranean, Latin America, Asia and the French tropical overseas territories. Its research, training and innovation activities are intended to contribute to the social, economic and cultural development of southern countries.
