ISTAD
plays the role of a bridge between CSIR and the scientific affairs of the other
countries.
To help make CSIR’s scientific & technological knowledgebase internationally competitive by all possible means, especially by vibrant national & international networking and partnership
To assist the CSIR system in scouting for, and pinpointing, the very latest of internationally competitive scientific and technological advances and breakthroughs of relevance to India, that should mould, shape and energize CSIR’s current and future research and development initiatives
To build and fortify bridges of understanding between CSIR and all its major overseas science & technology partners to develop synergies and leverage CSIR’s capabilities in core areas of S&T interest
To
reinforce CSIR’s existing S&T base through international scientific
and technological collaborations, twinning of institutions and such other
initiatives
To
vitalize CSIR’s inputs through engineered training and retaining of
scientists in core sectors (to be pinpointed from time to time), and at the
same time help exploit the enormous trainer potential of the CSIR
laboratories to forge and reinforce international partnerships.
