    ENSEMBLEENSEMBLE Volume 4 (1) | January – February 2016 Newsletter of the Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research India-France Relations Touching New Heights editor’s note Dear Readers, India and France are witnessing the emergence of a new era of collaborative efforts between the two countries in various sectors. In November/December 2015, France hosted a successful global scale diplomatic event for adopting an agreement by many countries on climate change where India was also an active participant. After the visit of Honourable Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi to France in April 2015, the French President H. E. Dr. Mukesh Kumar Mr. François Hollande visited India in January, 2016 as a Chief Guest on the Director, CEFIPRA occasion of 67th Republic Day of India. During his visit, Indian and French scientific as well as technological communities from academia and industry sectors, joined hands through several Agreements/MoUs signed by the two countries. CEFIPRA had the privilege of hosting the officials / signatories of three of such Agreements/MoU signed on 25 January 2016. CEFIPRA, since its evolution as a unique institutional platform and collaborative mechanism, is contributing through its various interventions in a diverse range of S&T domains. These collaborative efforts are making it possible to generate significant knowledge that has a potential to translate discovery science into solution science. I sincerely wish that all these MoUs will create new pathways to further strengthen the Indo-French collaborative research efforts. inside Editor-in-Chief Dr. Mukesh Kumar ii | editor’s note GD Birla Award x | Director, CEFIPRA Dr.
