With an aim to encourage such partnerships, the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune (IISER) is hosting researchers from Switzerland, who will share fresh ideas on the topic. The speakers at ‘Citizen Science: An Exhibition on Participatory Research’ are Daniel Wyler, Dr Claudine Leysinger and Kevin Vega. Wyler, who is an emeritus professor at University of Zurich (UZH), is recognised for playing an important role in building up citizen science in Zurich. Leysinger is the general manager of UZH, and Vega will give an insight into his PhD project. “We hope the exhibition and talk will spark an interest in citizen science,” says Naresh Sharma, head of international relations at IISER. Upgrade to a Modern PC. So much more to Crazy Cheap Hotel Prices! love. Save70 Modern PC Examples of projects from varying disciplines, all of which involved participation of citizens in five key areas, such as language, cosmos, nature and landscape, will feature in the exhibition. The exposition organised by UZH Graduate Campus has been showcased earlier at different venues in Switzerland. “UZH approached us to host the event,” adds Sharma. Apart from exploring collaborative opportunities with institutions in India, the UZH researchers want to present their work to a wider audience. Scientific projects as diverse as measuring water levels, finding galaxies and identifying plants, which were part of 19 citizen science projects run by UZH and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ) are the subject of this poster exhibition on participatory research. In a representative survey in Switzerland, 36 per cent of the population stated that they would like to work on a research programme, but in India there is a disconnect between citizens and scientists, says Sharma. “Both parties are to blame for this scenario.” Besides, the concept of citizen science is a fairly new phenomenon in the country, but plays an important role in enriching scientific inquiry in European countries. “Our role as scientists is to facilitate such events to encourage active participation of citizens in scientific research.” Sharma says that both scientists and citizens can benefit from working together. “For instance, information collected by citizens on climate change can be interpreted by researchers.” He is hopeful that young people in India will warm up to work with researchers through such endeavours. After the opening session by the guest speakers, the plan is to showcase the exhibition at IISER for 10 days. All are welcome to take part in the event.

NR Narayana Murthy founded Infosys in 1981, retired three decades later, came back as executive chairman in June 2013 and stepped down in a year after handing over charge to a professional management led by CEO Vishal Sikka. In the process, he also left the board, which today comprises a non- executive chairman (R Seshasayee), seven independent directors and two executive members (Sikka and COO Pravin Rao). Last week, in a candid interview with ET, Murthy spoke of a “concerning drop in corporate governance” at Infosys. Subsequent reports in ET also suggest the IT bellwether may have fallen short of the standards it’s been known for on the due diligence and disclosures fronts. Infosys is a company whose global delivery model was envisioned and nurtured by the founder (along Also Read: Why Infy needs to figure out the best way to utilise $5bn it is sitting on with six cofounders).

The spotlight, according to some immigration experts, will shift towards the EB-5-based US immigration visa, which is investment-linked. At present, such visas issued to Indians remain in the three-digit figure, but with it probably being the easiest route to set foot on American soil, the number of applications could go up significantly. Mark I Davies, global chairperson of Davies & Associates, a US immigrant investor visa firm, says, "Trump's win in the Presidential Elections will be beneficial for EB-5 visa applicants. Such visas, issued to Indians remain in the three-digit figure, will see a rise if they remain the easiest route to set foot on While some of our clients have expressed concern with a Trump victory, we believed that American soil. their concerns will be short-lived, it will cause more Indians to apply for an EB-5-based US immigrant visa." Trump has previously used the EB-5 visa program as a source of funding for some of his real estate projects.

    New drivers are not signing up with Ola & Uber The slowing growth in fleet sizes is emblematic of a market that is maturing and stabilising after nearly a half decade of frenzied growthShashwati Shankar | ET Bureau | June 01, 2017, 07:35 IST inShare A large number of taxi drivers have quit Ola and Uber and not many new ones are signing up, but that might be a good thing. Analysts and company executives ET spoke with said more than 10,000 drivers have left Ola and Uber in Bengaluru alone in the past two years, as the companies gradually lowered the heady incentives they used to lure the drivers. Also, driver registrations plunged from 300-350 a day in 2016 to 40-50 this year across Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi. Even so, analysts said, the slowing growth in fleet sizes is emblematic of a market that is maturing and stabilising after nearly a half decade of frenzied growth that was beginning to affect operations. “While the supply (of drivers and vehicles) has dropped from 2016 to 2017, it is stabilising and the market is slowly showing signs of maturing,“ said Jaspal Singh, partner at Valoriser Consultants. “Newer drivers coming on board are aware that the incentives and salaries offered are lower than what they were last year.They are more prepared to work longer hours for lower wages in the pursuit of owning a car in the long run.“ Many of the drivers who have dropped off the platforms were earning ` Rs60,000 to 1 lakh a month in fares and incentives, he said.
