Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, 11th President of India and distinguished scientist Hosted by the Canada-India Centre for Excellence in Science, Technology, Trade and Policy at Carleton University Ottawa, ON, Canada October 3rd 2012

Canada and India share a strong commitment to education, the environment, health and science. Both view technology as a means to solve problems and advance economic development. Celebrating these common goals and the mutual desire to build trade partnerships and scientific and cultural links, Carleton University has established, in collaboration with the India High Commission and community members, the Canada-India Centre for Excellence in Science, Technology, Trade and Policy. The Centre, located in the university's new River Building, is bringing together key members of the academic, business and public policy communities in both countries to provide cutting-edge research, analysis, training and exchanges.
