Shastri Mapping & Matching Interest Workshop (SMMIW) 2022-23 (One Health)

Shastri Mapping and Matching Bi-national Interest Workshop proposes to conduct partnership development meetings in the areas of mutual interest to Indian and Canadian researchers. The proposed workshops aim to provide a learning mechanism that will help researchers from both countries to come together and provide a framework of developments and trends on mutual themes of interest, share their research findings and explore collaborations and partnerships.

The workshops aim to support research relevant to international development and new, emerging, and under-researched areas relevant to identified themes. In addition, these meetings will promote twinning partnerships for advanced research and development by providing opportunities to work across the bi-national board to enhance learning. As an outcome, the proposed workshops would also facilitate universities/institutions in India and Canada to establish research partnerships to create innovations and social impact by engaging with relevant industries. Finally, these workshops will be dedicated to achieving longstanding and successful bi-national partnerships through developing joint research collaborations by seeding relationships through national and international funding sources.

It is proposed that virtual bi-lateral workshops with larger groups of identified researchers will be held initially to identify and establish interests from both sides. Then, the scholars identified through these virtual workshops will be invited to more focused virtual and in-person, face-to-face Shastri Mapping and Matching Workshops.

Themes

The identified areas for such workshops are as follows, but not limited to:
