项目摘要

Summary: The University of Warwick and the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT-KGP) have signed an agreement to work together to meet challenges of importance to the UK and India - in particular the technologies for low-carbon economies, for advanced healthcare, for efficient non-polluting transport systems, and for secure ICT systems. These technology challenges will be met through a multi-disciplinary partnership, working across institutions, across sciences, and across academia and business to create and apply innovative solutions that we need. Building on the existing links between WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group) at Warwick and IIT-KGP, the agreement sets out an exciting agenda of future R&D collaboration and the creation of 'cells' for IIT-KGP at WMG and for WMG at Kharagpur as a focus for exploitation. WMG and IIT-KGP will focus their partnership initially on three themes of economic, environmental and quality-of-life importance to India and the UK: low-carbon vehicles, medical technology and ICT/e-security. This proposal seeks support for travel costs for the IIT-KGP research theme leads for the three themes to visit WMG. Research funding is covered by existing grants and, in particular, industrial funding for collaborative programmes. The seedcorn funding sought in the Visiting Researcher Grant proposal will support the travel costs of academic staff and lead researchers at IIT-KGP to travel to WMG to develop, progress and help exploit collaborative research in the three themes. Over the three year period 7 visits to WMG will be supported, the first of one month duration, the subsequent ones of a week's duration. Research will be undertaken by existing and new research students and researchers. The Initiative will be self sustaining after EPSRC funding completes with full links having been established between the research teams and funds to continue collaboration being sought through industry and government sponsored research projects.

摘要：华威大学和印度理工学院卡拉格普尔分校 (IIT-KGP) 签署了一项协议，共同应对对英国和印度来说至关重要的挑战，特别是低碳经济、先进医疗保健、高效、无污染的运输系统和安全的信息通信技术系统。这些技术挑战将通过多学科合作伙伴关系来应对，跨机构、跨科学、跨学术界和企业界合作，创建和应用我们需要的创新解决方案。该协议以沃里克的 WMG（沃里克制造集团）和 IIT-KGP 之间现有的联系为基础，制定了未来研发合作的激动人心的议程，并为 WMG 的 IIT-KGP 和 Kharagpur 的 WMG 创建“单元”，作为集中进行剥削。 WMG 和 IIT-KGP 的合作伙伴关系最初将集中在对印度和英国经济、环境和生活质量具有重要意义的三个主题上：低碳汽车、医疗技术和 ICT/电子安全。该提案寻求为 IIT-KGP 研究主题负责人访问 WMG 的三个主题的差旅费用提供支持。研究经费由现有拨款资助，特别是合作项目的工业资助。访问研究员资助提案中寻求的种子资金将支持学术人员的旅行费用，并带领 IIT-KGP 的研究人员前往 WMG，以开发、进步和帮助利用这三个主题的合作研究。在三年期间，将支持 7 次访问 WMG，第一次访问为一个月，随后的访问为一周。研究将由现有的和新的研究生和研究人员进行。 EPSRC 资助完成后，该计划将自我维持，研究团队和基金之间建立了全面联系，以继续通过行业和政府资助的研究项目寻求合作。
