In this second webinar of the ‘Science Policy 101’ series, Aditya Kaushik walks us through the history of Science, Technology and Innovation Policies in India so far, their motivation, salient features, and significant outcomes. This was followed by a general discussion on the four policy statements.
What is Science Policy? How are Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) policies made in India? Is there an institutional mechanism for STI policymaking? Who are the actors involved in the STI policy process? How does evidence flow into this process? This webinar was the first of the 'Science Policy 101' series, in which the speakers, Chagun Basha and Aditya Kaushik attempt to answer, think-through and discuss these questions.
In this sixth episode of the series on “informational interviews”, IndiaBioscience chats with Aditya Kaushik and Chagun Basha, two engineers-turned science policy professionals. Listen to learn more about their career paths and also about our new collaborative venture, the science policy forum here.
