Phill Post Graduate Under Graduate PG Diploma Diploma Certificate Integrated India Level Wise Enrollment Of Students in Universities(2010-2011) India lags behind!! Low R&D expenditure Low level of intellectual capital generation Very few PhDs Low level of success in creating original work
- 3. Problem Statement Sub CausesCauses Main Problem Research& Innovation : India lags behind Low investments in R&D (Public and/or Pvt.) Pvt players : R&D ROI not attractive IPR : Protection of Research outputs Investors’ access to Local Innovation Innovators’ access to Investment Few quality researchers Lack of quality education Primary, Secondary as well as higher Research as a career Choice
- 4. Proposed Solution Market OrientedDatabase of Innovation (MODRI) • All R&I summary uploaded with bid price • Sorted by industry/discipline/applicatio n/source et al • Access sold to industry. They bid for the research outputs. • Market determined value for research. Self sustainable system. IPR-Speeding up the patenting process. • Increase patent offices across India. • Reduce the attrition rate of patent examiners by---- Assigning more challenging jobs like cross technology patent examination • Providing more incentives(comparable to peers in other countries) • Reducing workload per examiner. Strengthen Education (roots) • Research oriented Interdisciplinary university system • Teacher training • Technology driven dissemination of knowledge : Broadband & Devices Branding Research Career • Changing research pay offs (Army example) : Social & Economic • Scope for commercializing research and becoming equity partners • Change of social (parents’) mindset
- 5. MODRI – MarketOriented Database of R&I Each Researcher or Innovator can apply online for the listing of her research work on the database with an expected bid price Bid Price – Minimum price set by the researcher. Based on the demand by companies the highest bid price is shown. • To be managed by central body like Dept. of Science & Technology (DST) • To be launched at a national level with the best research already available hosted. • Seminars and conferences to be organised to promote and to bring industry, researchers & academia to a common understanding. To be self regulated by Invisible Hands (suggested by Adam Smith)
- 6. Education level wiseissues and SolutionsUnderGraduatelevel Each year, of the total university output, one third go for sciences Society as a whole doesn’t view a career in sciences as rewarding Quality drop in students opting for sciences. Division of options into PCB & PCM at +12 level leads to students opting for either medicine or engineering Graduatelevel Colleges are under- equipped, over crowded, poorly staffed Science is taught unimaginatively which leads to rote learning and uninterested students. Ultimately Shortage of ground level researchers and trained researchers prefer to move to other countries in search of lucrative jobs ChangesinPrimaryand Secondaryeducation: ChangesinHigherEducation: Curriculum should be innovation oriented rather than degree oriented. Better quality of professors and high educational standards at PG & PHD level Regular interaction with existing scientists, scholarships for international science meets should be granted IdentifyandRetainTalent: Providing Incentives in terms of rewards and recognition Strengthening IPR in India Improving technology infrastructure . Encourage students to opt for pure sciences Implement Project Based Learning Motivate teachers by providing incentives Special workshops should be conducted to engage R&D students. Facilitating online learning Suggestions
- 7. IPR The Issue with IPR: •Indian IPR has been widely criticized for quality of patents and trademarks granted. Reasons: Largely Operational • High Workload • Poor Employment conditions • High Attrition Solutions: • Reduce workload to less than 10 patent applications per month • Implement measures like giving challenging work and incentives to reduce attrition
- 8. IMPACT - MODRI Allthese stakeholders can collabrate Collaborate •Industry, University & innovators all on one platform •Conducive for collaboration Information Symmetry •Researchers and Innovators know what is most relevant – as per the price •Industry knows areas where there is abundance of ideas Self Regulation •Which areas over or under focused •Research as an activity becomes self sustainable •No need for asking funds
- 9. IMPACT – Education& Research Career • I have access to world class education !! • Our teachers are better equipped • My underpriviledged friends don’t miss teachers now InterDisciplinary University • Our learning is research oriented and intellectually stimulating • I assist professional researchers • We work on real projects & know about other fields too. • My job is rewarding as my peers in engineering, medicine or law • We also have career opportunities in terms of COMMERCIALISING my research School Student College Student Professional Researcher Impact will be in terms of • Development of research talent at school, college and research level o Aligning learning with a research and innovation (creation) oriented approach • Making research as a career of choice o So that best of the talent prefer research as a career
- 10. IMPACT - IPR Ifeel secure I can reap benefits of my research in TIME I will continue to invest time & money in my research in India IMITATORS • The man in the circle personifies Companies & Individuals who are apprehensive about protection of their original work • India will be perceived as a safe destination for research and it’s commercialization • Once patents are granted in time financial models will be more viable
- 11. Key Challenges &Risks • Making it a credible platform – marketing it • People in rural areas might not know how to use it. • If not implemented transparently would be rendered ineffective.
