Principal Scientific Adviser to the government, Professor Ajay Kumar Sood, and National Technology Adviser to the United Kingdom, Dr David Warren Smith, unveiled the pilot version of India-United Kingdom Science and Technology Partnership (IN-UK-STP) Dashboard in New Delhi today.
This pilot version of the dashboard covers 143 bilateral projects jointly supported and implemented by various stakeholders from India and the UK.
It said that the dashboard is jointly developed by the office of the Principal Scientific Advisor and the British High Commission in India. The dashboard maps the projects in terms of funding value, implementing partners and funding agencies from both sides.
Prof. Sood emphasised that the dashboard could help decision makers from both sides in terms of synergising priorities, identifying gaps, and capturing the direction in which the partnership is further evolving to create a lasting impact in both societies.
