These include forthcoming jointly-funded workshops the Australia-India Strategic Research Fund.
“Australia and India share many common areas of research interest and there are many exciting and world leading projects currently taking place between the two countries that will provide benefits to both our nations,” Senator Carr said.
“As part of our commitment to mutually beneficial research the Australian Government will support two collaborative workshops in emerging fields of biotechnology where we have complementary strengths,” he said.
The Indian and Australian governments have already committed to supporting two collaborative workshops in emerging fields of biotechnology where we have complementary strengths.
These include a joint workshop next month sharing developments in the research fields of nutraceuticals and functional foods, and another workshop on commercialised transgenic crops as well as those under development.
"The Australian Government remains committed to the relationship with India, particularly through our largest bilateral research arrangement - the Australia-India Strategic Research Fund.”
