From 7th March 2014 to 20th May 2014 is the open call for the presentation of joint research projects between Indian and Slovenian groups, in the framework Programme of Scientific and Technological Cooperation for 2014-2016, signed on January 17, 2014, between the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Ministry of Science & Technology, of the Indian Republic and the Slovenian Research Agency Slovenian Research Agency(ARRS), Ministry of Education, Science and Sport of the Republic of Slovenia, taking as a base of the General Agreement of 1995 on Scientific and Technical Cooperation between Indian and Slovenian Governments.
Objectives:
To strengthen and to expand relations between both scientific communities, making possible the exchanges between Indian and Slovenian research groups, in the framework of joint scientific and technological projects, selected by the parties.
Promote implementation of joint projects able to bind R&D centres with enterprises from both countries.
Subject Areas:
The priority areas for this Call as were mutally agreed are given below:
Selection of Project:
Proposals will undergo a quality evaluation taking into account the following criteria:
1. Project (creativity and originality, importance of objectives and expected results, coherence
between objectives, methodology and work plan)
2. Research Group (capacity and scientific and technological competence of the research
group, human resources training, criticality of the cooperation in terms of human resources
training)
3. Cooperation (relevance and opportunity of the missions, desirability of cooperation and
background of cooperation)
The assessment of relevance will take into account:
1. The overall priorities of the DST and ARRS.
2. The training plan targeting young researchers specified in the project.
3. The incorporation of new groups in the cooperation program (priority will be awarded to the
proposals that had not received previous funding)
Eligibility:
Programme is open to scientists, engineers, institutions engaged in advanced research in the above referred areas in India. Joint project proposal may be submitted simultaneously by the Indian researchers to DST and by the Slovenian partners to ARRS in the prescribed proforma annexed herewith (Annex I). Unilaterally submitted projects shall not be considered. The project proposal must include one Principal Investigator (PI) and a Co-PI each in India and Slovenia. The PIs/Co-PIs have the main responsibility for scientific and financial reporting which must be done annually before the next disbursement of funding. They are also responsible for the technical as well as administrative co - ordination of the project. The Principal Investigator (PI) and other investigators in India and Slovenia should be Scientists/faculty members working in regular capacity in Government recognized Universities/ Deemed Universities, Academic Institutes and National Research & Development Laboratories/ Institutes.
