India has managed to enter into its first multi-lateral Social Science
research collaboration with four European Nations by the approval of
projects for networking and social science research cooperation in
between the researchers of these nations on 5 September 2012. The
French Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation), the UK
Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Netherlands
Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) are the four bodies with
which India has been successful in created tie-ups.
The social
scientists will get national funds for creating collaborations with
European Partners via a scheme. This is help in eradication of
bureaucratic restrictions and obstacles. It’s expected to economise and
rationalize the efforts of Europe towards production of high impact and
quality research on social science that can address to the challenges
forwarded by the global arena in terms of growth, economy, development,
climate change, well being and health. As per the scheme the proposal
can be made on any hemisphere of social science that can be of a help in
understanding the social and individual behavior of a person and
influence the policies beyond the boundaries. The targeted six
proposals that have been awarded with the funds after being mapped in
the month of May 2011, will deal in the aspects of wellbeing, ageing,
bullying, mapping the cultural authority of science, globally accessible
medicine, climate governance and pupil-safety.
