Introduction
Workshop on Collaborative Research & Funding Opportunities, being organized concurrently with Indian Technology Congress 2013 to be held at NIMHANS Convention Centre, Bangalore during 24-25 July 2013. As collaboration has been an integral part of all major researches for a long time, but over the years the nature of collaboration has evolved from a narrow, intra departmental collaboration effort to a massive interdisciplinary multi contextual, inter organizational and even global collaboration and such efforts have started yielding significant ground breaking results and has helped cover complex, and convoluted areas; the workshop on Collaborative Research and Funding Opportunities is also organized concurrently with the Congress. The Indian Technology Congress 2013 will provide a platform for Collaborative Research and Funding Opportunities to garner funding for collaborative research initiatives. The participants will get an opportunity to learn about what motivates and directs technology and innovative research into new business visions. This would be possible by providing networking opportunities with appropriate stakeholders. By being an appropriate platform to help fund collaborative research the Congress aims to encourage dynamic and innovative approach to disseminate research findings that will have a major impact on the future technologies and thereby make India a Hub of Knowledge and Innovation. The Workshop is designed exclusively for the benefits of all the Engineering Institutions pursuing R&D focused.
