Launch of
Industry-Academia CRIKC* Web Portal
(Developed by DST-CPR, PU, Chd.)
by
Hon. Shri V. P. Singh Badnore,

Need for I-A Web Portal:
One of the reasons for below par Industry-Academia interactions is the limited/lack of access to academic facilities and information (Scientific expertise, Patents, Technologies, etc.) by the industries. To all this gap, DST – Centre for Policy Research at Panjab University, Chandigarh, has created a single window web portal displaying the scientific expertise, patents, technologies, major research facilities, etc. of the academic institutions situated in and around Chandigarh region. The portal also has ‘I-A Query’ menu tab where industry personnel can upload their problems, to be addressed by the academia. The web portal can be accessed at http://iacrikc.dstcpr.in
