Dear Radha -

The attachment didn't seem to come through. Sounds like interesting and useful information. It is evident that there is a lot of exciting activity and innovation taking place in the Indian Science Industry. Are there sections in this volume you've collected relevant to Open Access publishing funding opportunities? Is there anything in there supporting telecentres/hackerspaces in rural and under-resourced urban locations?

If I may also take this opportunity to ask someone who would know - I'd be interested in learning a little more about how an open knowledge model could benefit from the information available. For example, to what extent is the valuation of a project measured by patent protection? I'd be interested to know from your vantage point whether the big generic pharmaceutical companies in India are now trying to develop their own patent portfolios now that the WTO extension on implementation has run out?

Also, it would be interesting to know more about how traditional knowledge, both as biodiversity and folklore, are funded and promoted. There are many here at Sudo Room working on bio-agri-tech to whom this may be relevant. Is there a way for us to have access to information about those plant and genetic materials that must be licensed for use in product development?

Thanks again for reaching out to us about this. If you could send along the sample copy, that would be great.

Thanks,
Eddan

Dear Sir,
 
It gives me pleasure to announce the release of our new publication “Funding your Science Idea” – Edition 2.
 
“Funding your Science Idea” is your comprehensive guide to all the funding opportunities available for the Indian science industry. For the FIRST time ALL the opportunities offered by the government, the private equity groups and bodies are included for an easy reference.
 
Other salient features include the flowchart description of funding process for many organizations. Finally, it is easy to understand the process of the funding. Also included are the “time” that organizations would take to fund, as well as reviews by already funded organizations about their experience.
 
I am sure this would be of immense use to you and your organization. I attach a sample copy for your kind perusal. Please let me know your interest in purchasing the publication, and I will send you the pricing information.
 
Kind Regards,
 
Radha Krishnan
