The Symposium discussions will try to explore how Canadians can build better long-term relationships with their Indian counterparts. Issues of collaboration around research, resource building, and knowledge sharing, in the innovative processes, joint research and connectivity establishment will be discussed
Participants and panelists will be encouraged to generate “out of the box” ideas, do blue-skies thinking and share their thoughts about how to overcome challenges effectively, in order to seize opportunities and develop them informed by best-practices in collaborative methods
As per the interest, separate workshops/projects focusing on each topic would be conducted later. The Symposium proceedings will lead to publication of a report, in “Canada Watch Journal”, and as an edited book. Dissemination of the Symposium proceeding would also be done via blogs and social media. A policy paper will be submitted to the concerned departments and institutions
