Events in Physics

Partnerships between the UK and India, Indonesia, Colombia, Thailand, South Africa.

The programme supports case studies which generate significant long term benefits and produces models replicable by others and also generate lessons which can help inform bilateral and national-level higher education, research and innovation policy. Projects should fit with one or more of the following outcome areas:

•enhanced industry input into engineering curricula and teaching in (partner) universities to improve the quality and uptake of practical engineering skills and help develop a talent pipeline for emerging and currently skill-scarce industries;

•develop new partnerships and strengthen bilateral collaboration in engineering research and knowledge-sharing between industry and academia counterparts to develop new capabilities within Indonesian universities;

•formation of deep, strategic bilateral partnerships between industry and academia around application-inspired engineering research and innovation which aims to solve economic and social development challenges faced by Indonesia or globally;

•improved industry-academia interface to help systemically foster deeper engagement amongst actors in the innovation eco-systems of both countries and create different models of industry-academic engagement for wider sharing and adoption.

Projects must meet meet Official Development Assistance requirement by focusing on an engineering higher education, research or innovation challenge that will enhance social welfare and economic development in Indonesia and demonstrating a tangible benefit to Indonesia by enhancing its capacity to carry out excellent teaching, research and innovation in engineering.
