Revisiting the 26 Yearsof the Japan-India
Science Council

Preface: Purpose of the commemorative publication
The Japan-India Science Council was established in 1992 by way of an agreement between the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and the Indian governmentʼs Department of Science and Technology (DST). The Council held its
first meeting in 1993. Over the period of 26 years that has elapsed since then, successive generations of Council members,
with great ardour and strong will, have worked to invigorate scientific exchange between Japan and India while building
robust foundations to support and advance it.
With changes in the global scientific milieu over time and toward creating an enhanced platform upon which JSPS and DST
can more smoothly and rationally carr y out bilateral programs, the role of the Japan-India Science Council has ended;however, joint research projects and seminars will continue to be supported under the Japan-India Cooperative Science
Programme as in the past. This Commemorative Booklet is published at this juncture for the purpose of retracing theCouncilʼs footsteps and landmarks over course of its rich and esteemed history̶a history that has set the cornerstones
for even more vibrant scientific collaboration between Japan and India. As we set about treading this new path, we ask foryour greatly appreciated guidance and support.

5Message from Co-ChairsProf. SUZUKI Atsuto(President, Iwate Prefectural University)
The Japan-India Science Council which had been established in 1993 under the co-organization of the Departmentof Science and Technology, Government of India (DST) and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS),
completed its mission in March, 2019. On this occasion, I express my gratitude for dedicated contributions to
successive Council-members.
This Council piloted major accomplishments of collaborations in Molecular Science, Advanced Material Science,
Modern Biology/Biotechnology, Manufacturing Science, Astronomy/Astrophysics, and Surface/Interface Science.
These collaborations were mutually beneficial in the way they enhanced the proposed activities, involved students
and younger researchers from both countries, and allowed both countries to share in the programmeʼs successes
and accomplishments. In this process, the Council played a significant role in crossing scientific bridges andforging close investigative relationships.
The Council took an active step forward towards deepening the programmeʼs content in 2012. The research areas
were renewed with focus concentrated on Fundamental Sciences of Physical/Chemical Systems, Materials/System Engineering, Natural Systems of Life Sciences/Bioengineering, Astronomy/Space/Earth Systems, andMathematics/Computational Science.
On top of scientific programmes, this Council used unique processes for stimulating collaborations. It held a faceto-face meeting every one or two year, rotating its venue between Japan and India. In these meetings, vigorous
discussions were advanced among the Indian and Japanese members, spawning robust scientific exchange andnetwork building between Japanese and Indian researchers, while fostering a strong relationship of trust between
the two nations.
Even after ending the Council, support has continued for joint research projects and seminars under the JapanIndia Cooperative Scientific Programme. Looking to the future, the two countries are expected to organise researchin each area systematically while facilitating the acceleration of research collaborations and to more fully actuate
the research infrastructures on both sides. Given these expectations, there exists a viable option for the programme to evolve into what might be called an “Indo-Japanese Virtual Science Laboratory”.
I reiterate my appreciation to all who have participated in this programme of the Japan-India Science Council andmade it so successful.

Prof. Milan K. Sanyal(Emeritus Professor and Former Director,
Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics)
India Japan Science Council (IJSC) was initiated in 1993 to promote Cooperative Science Programme involving
scientists from Japan and India with support from Japan Society for Promotion of Sciences (JSPS) and Departmentof Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. I am extremely happy to learn that JSPS has taken an
initiative to bring out a commemorative booklet that compiles the success achieved under the IJSC.
I am associated with IJSC over many years first as a member and then as Co-Chairperson with Professor Suzuki.
IJSC is a success stor y primarily because it was steered by active researchers from both countries. The IJSC
flourished with able and dynamic leadership of two world renowned scientists as Co-Chairman, namely Professor
Saburo Nagakura and Professor C.N.R. Rao. IJSC has brought large number of Indian and Japanese researchers
together for science collaboration through joint research projects, seminars, visits of scientists, RONPAKU Fellowships and Asian Academic Seminars. IJSC has contributed significantly to flourish relation between our two
countries in science world and numbers of joint publications involving scientists from our two countries have
improved considerably. I assume similar scheme will be adopted to continue this flourishing collaboration activities between Japan and India in the field of Science and Technology.
Recently with initiative of IJSC, an Indian Beamline has been set up at a Japanese synchrotron, Photon Factory,
KEK, Tsukuba and that has enabled large number of Indian Scientists to have access to a very intense synchrotron source for carrying out material research. This project was mentioned in the Joint Statement of the Annual
Summit meeting of the two Prime Ministers in September 2014 “Science and Technology Number 43.” and subsequently. Recognizing the success of this flagship cooperative activity, both countries have agreed to continue
this collaboration.

Commemorative Message

SATOMI Susumu, M.D., Ph.D.
(President, JSPS)

Twenty-six years have passed since the establishment of the Japan-India Science Council. I wish to express mydeepest appreciation to the members of the Council, the participants in the Japan-India Cooperative Science
Programme, and the staffs the Department of Science and Technology (DST) who have devoted both time andeffort to carrying out our bilateral programme over this long period.
The importance of cooperation between Japan and India in the realm of science and technology has been loudly extolled
in recent years. Iʼve heard, however, that back in 1993 when the Japan-India Council was established via an agreement
between JSPS and DST there had been little scientific exchange between our two countries. After that, thanks to all of
your support, scientific collaboration between Japan and India expanded greatly. Looking back now, I must pay myheartiest respect to programmeʼs pioneers for their groundbreaking efforts that abounded in farsightedness.
Our cooperative programme established five priority areas and assigned coordinators to each of them. These
coordinators, who were themselves members of the Council, had excellent records of scientific achievements and keen
discernment as to whatʼs importance in conducting international exchange. What had been little progress in scientificexchange between Japan and India when the coordinator system was launched, accelerated quickly afterwards andnow sees more than 100 applications for joint research received under the programmeʼs open recruitments.
As one generation of researchers moves to the next, young researchers who had participated in the Japan-India
Cooperative Science Programme later became members of the Council themselves and many can now be seen
playing active roles as leaders of joint research projects and seminars. This makes me very happy.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, what undergirds the vigorous exchange currently enjoyed between Japan and Indiais the legacy of enthusiasm and strong determination passed on by successive members of the Council and the fruits
born of close cooperation between the Japanese and Indian coordinators. Itʼs owing to your efforts that basic researchhas been so superbly advanced and that so many good scientific results have been achieved. Needless to say, yourcontributions have also been instrumental in cultivating many friendships among both researchers and programme
administrators alike and in fostering the excellent young researchers who will go on to shoulder the future ofscientific advancement. For these many accomplishments, I reiterate my admiration and thanks.
As the Japan-India Science Council comes to an end, we are pleased to ask you, the Council members, to compile
your various experiences and activities for this commemorative booklet. With your 26-year history as a foundationstone to build upon, we at the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science will work to strengthen further our DST
partnership as it plays a powerful role in advancing scientific exchange between Japan and India. To this end, I
ask you all for your always appreciated guidance and encouragement.

I. History and Outline of Activities
1. History

I

Visiting India in April 1990, Japanese Prime Minister KAIFU Toshiki held a meeting with Indian Prime Minister
V.P. SINGH, in which they decided to create a new and expanded framework of cooperation for promoting scien-

History and Outline of Activities

tific exchange between the two countries. At that time, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) was
designated as the implementing organisation on the Japanese side. As its Indian counterpart organisation for JSPS,an MoU was already signed with the Indian National Science Academy to carry out a researcher exchange programme. At the same time, discussions were held in JSPS on strengthening Japan-India cooperation beyond
researcher exchange.
In June 1992, JSPS invited an Indian Science Delegationi to Japan to discuss ways to implement the exchange toward
more programmatically advancing bilateral scientific collaboration. As a result, the Japan-India Science Council wasestablished to advance and facilitate cooperative scientific programmes between the two countries. JSPS and theDepartment of Science and Technology, Government of India (DST), were chosen as the programmeʼs secretariats.
Comprising 4-5 distinguished researchers on both sides, the Council members agreed to meet once a year, rotating
between Japan and India. As areas of potential exchange, they proposed six research fieldsii.
Based on this discussion, the following researchers were appointed as members of the Council. On the Japan
side: Prof. NAGAKURA Saburo, President, The Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI), Dr. ODA
Minoru, Professor Emeritus, The University of Tokyo, Dr. OKADA Tokindo, Director General, JT Biohistory
Research Hall, and Prof. YOSHIKAWA Hiroyuki, President, The University of Tokyo. On the India side: Prof.
C.N.R. Rao, President, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Prof. D. Balasubramanian, Prof.
S.S. Kapoor, Prof. R.A. Mashelkar, Prof. S.S. Bhartia, and Prof. R.A. Rama.
Before holding the first Council meeting, in March 1993, a Japanese Science Delegationiii went to India to survey
the state of research institutions in the country and to consider the types of joint research that would be possible.
They also ascertained and compiled what the Indian side desired from its collaboration with Japan.
In August 1993, the first meeting of the Japan-India Science Council was held in New Delhi. Under the leadershipof the two countriesʼ co-chairs, a discussion was held on a framework for carrying out bilateral exchange in fieldsof the natural sciences. Agreed Minutes were written up on points of agreement and signed by the co-chairs.
Respecting the agreement reached by the Council, the JSPS President and DST Secretary prepared and signed
a “confirmation” document for carr ying out the Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme. Included in theAgreed Minutes were the establishment of five priority areas of cooperation (i.e. Molecular Structure, Spectroscopy and Dynamics; New Materials, including Polymers; Modern Biology and Biotechnology; Manufacturing
Science; and Astronomy and Astrophysics), a Postdoctoral Fellowship Program for Young Researchers, and a
RONPAKU (dissertation PhD) Program.
After that, the Science Council held its meetings each year, rotating between Japan and India. Activities under theJapan-India Cooperative Science Programme were driven forward by vigorous discussions advanced among the9

I. History and Outline of Activities
Council members. After each meeting, Agreed Minutes were prepared and signed by the co-chairs. Based on
their contents, the format for carrying out the Cooperative Science Programme was set for the following year.
Twenty-six years elapsed from the time that the Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme was started to when
the Science Council ended. Over that period, some 3, 000 people had participated in the Cooperative Science
Programme. Dr. C.N.R. Rao served at the Indian co-chair for 17 years starting from the time that the council wasestablished. In recognition of his great contributions to promoting Japan-India research exchange and to fostering
younger generations of researcher, he was awarded The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star by theGovernment of Japan in 2015.

2. Outline of Activities(1) Joint Research Projects and Joint Workshops/Seminars (From 1993)
Support was provided for teams of Japanese and Indian researchers carrying out joint research projects, workshops
and seminars.
Up to FY 2004, pairs of coordinators from the two countries designated by the Science Council planned and coordinated a variety of exchange activities. In the early period, Committee members served collaterally as coordinators. (In some fields, the principle investigators of joint research projects carried out planning under the umbrellaof the coordinators.)
Coordinators from the two countries prepared concrete plans for each exchange activities, then, the Committee
co-chairs coordinated in allocating the programme budget for implementing each activity. The coordinators ineach field monitored and discussed the state of each activityʼs progress and reported its results to the Science
Council. At the Councilʼs eighth meeting, held in January 2005, it was decided to change the format for initiating
joint research projects and seminars by issues open calls from the following fiscal year, with the Council members
serving as application reviewers.
In FY1993, five priority areas were established: Molecular Structure, Spectroscopy and Dynamics; New Materials,
including Polymers; Manufacturing Science; Modern Biology and Biotechnology; and Astronomy and Astrophysics. In 1999, a sixth area was added: Surface and Interface Science. Then in 2013, the field of Mathematics andComputational Science was added while the existing priority areas were refined and their content expanded.
Concurrently, the number of fields was restructured back down to five. As a special case during the period from2007-2008, joint research was conducted in the area of Earthquakes and Tsunami. (Please see Appendix-6 for thenumber of applications received and selected in each field from the time open calls were started.)
When the open calls were first issued, about 50 applications were received. From 2011, applications gradually
increased to whatʼs at present double the initial number per year.
(2) Asian Academic Seminars (1994-2016), Japan-India Forum for Advanced Study (2017-2019)
These seminars and fora were carried out in a short-term, intensive “school” format for young researchers from10

Japan, India and other Asian countries. Providing them an opportunity to learn about the latest trends in scientificI

research, the seminars were aimed at contributing to the cultivation of excellent researchers while elevating the
research standard of the participating countries in their various subject fields. The Science Council chose theHistory and Outline of Activities

themes of each seminar and their chairs. Up to 2007, one seminar was held every three years, after which theseminars were as a rule held once a year, with their venue rotating between Japan and India. By way of the Agreed
Minutes signed on 9 March 2017, the format and title of the seminars was changed from “Asian Academic
Seminar” to “Japan-India Forum for Advanced Study.”(3) Mizushima-Raman Lecture Series
The lectures in this series were held to commemorate the work of two eminent scientists: Dr. MIZUSHIMA Sanichiro, Professor Emeritus The University of Tokyo, who was Japanʼs pioneer in the field of Molecular Spectroscopy, and Dr. C.V. Raman, Professor, Indian Association for Promotion of Science, who won the Nobel Prize forPhysics in 1930 for his discovery of the Raman Effect. These commemorative lectures were delivered by scientists
with highly outstanding records of research achievement in fields of Molecular Spectroscopy. This programme
was started in 1997 by way of agreement between Dr. C.N.R. Rao and Dr. NAGAKURA Saburo, who were theCouncilʼs co-chairs at that time. Each year, the venue for the lecture rotated between Japan and India. When heldin Japan, its venue was the Annual Meeting hosted by the Japan Society for Molecular Science and in India it was
the CRSI National Symposium in Chemistry. At the March 2014 meeting of the Science Council, it was agreed touse the lecture participantsʼ stay in the host country as an opportunity to visit research institutions as a valuable
way to deepen exchange among them. Thereafter, not only were the commemorative lectures held but also university and research institute visits were carried out in conjunction with other lectures and research discussion
as a means of strengthen collegial ties.
(4) Exploratory Exchanges (2006-2013), Special Lecture Tour Programme (2014-2016)
To lay the cornerstones for joint research projects and seminars, the coordinators in each priority area recommended researchers from the two countries to conduct “exploratory exchanges,” that is, when in the counterpart
country they would carry out research activities, give lectures, swap scientific information, and conduct otherexchange activities. By way of a decision at the Councilʼs 17th meeting in March 2014, the name of this programme
was changed to the “Special Lecture Tour Programme,” under which senior researchers visited at least threeresearch institutions and gave lectures in the counterpart country.

Reminiscences of the Japan-India
Cooperative Science Programme andFuture Prospects
Dr. YOSHIHARA Keitaro(Professor Emeritus, Institute for Molecular Science and Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology)
At this 20-year juncture of its history, I am very happy to have been involved in the creation of the Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme. I take this occasion to extend a sincere word of appreciation to all who have contributed over these years tothis programme, starting with the farsighted co-chairs, Prof. Nagakura Saburo and Prof. C.N.R. Rao. Every year, the programmeʼs
research coordinators gather in a meeting of the Japan-India Science Council. The meetings give the Japanese and Indian members a periodic chance to exchange views, which strengthens mutual understanding between them while promoting the smoothand fruitful implementation of the programmeʼs activities. At the same time, I am very thankful to the programmeʼs secretariats
for the joint effort they make each year in compiling the minutes of the discussions in the Council meetings.
In February of 1993, in the lead-up to launching the Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme, I was asked by the Japan
Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) to participate in an academic study group comprising the coordinators of fivepriority areas in natural science. In March we made a fact-finding visit to a few eminent institutions. In November, we received
a visit of an Indian delegation. Together, we established a joint committee and screened the programmeʼs first proposals. As
examples of those early joint proposals, during the 3-year period between 1994-1996 in the area of “Molecular Structure,
Spectroscopy and Dynamics”, 68 researchers applied to participate in exchange visits while 462 applications were received
for joint research projects. In 1994, seminars were launched under the programme. Venued in Japan and India, they are heldon scientific topics related to the programmeʼs five priority areas. In this year, the first Asian Academic Seminar was held in
Bangalore. I remember the large number of applications we received for these activities giving us a strong sense of expectation about the programmeʼs potential.
When our initial study group went to India, some of us visited the Indian Institute of Science, Tata Institute of Fundamental
Research, and the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. Observing the Indian researchers in them, we were very impressed bytheir enthusiasm for advancing basic science and their pursuit of truth through theoretical research. Going way back, Indian
thought in areas such as religion, philosophy and mathematics has been superlative. From around the 18th century, Indian
expertise could have been expected to seed modern scientific education. British colonial policy, however, did not recognize
the establishment of modern higher education and research institutions for Indians. Though reluctantly, the colonial government did establish universities for studying modern science in three locations in 1855. This, as it turned out, helped to accelerate the Indian independence movement.
In 1876, the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS) was established with donations from many citizens andsupporters. Though blessed with neither sufficient funding nor personnel, this organization provided the research platform
for Prof. C.V. Raman to advance his work. Struggling alone against heavy odds, he developed the “Raman Effect,” in 1930.
This landmark achievement made Prof. Raman the first Asian recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics. In 1911, Jamsetji N.
Tata, Indiaʼs industrial pioneer par excellence, established the Indian Institute of Science. This university is said to have boasted

12

an educational standard of the highest level. [Note 1]
Indiaʼs perception of basic science also has historical roots, clearly distinguishing it from many developing countries that placelopsided emphasis on application. Over these two decades Indiaʼs educational system has been improved dramatically. The Indian
Institute of Technology (IIT) is very well known as a top-notch education and research institution. It has expanded its programmeII

into 16 campuses and plans to increase the number of campuses. The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER)
has been established as a new university in the basic science field. It currently has five campuses, and boasts an ambitious long-

Early days

term education strategy. In 2010, I met with Prof. T. Ramasami (former Secretary of DST and my counter Programme co-chair),
who briefed me on Indiaʼs education programme INSPIRE (Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research) established byhis initiative, under which a seamless system of selection and support is being administered for pupils of 10 years old up to
postdocs. Through this programme, support is already being provided for all age levels. As Japan continues to advance joint
research with India, I believe these collaborations will be of increasingly strong productivity and impact.
To be candid, twenty years ago Indiaʼs experimental facilities were rather unsophisticated. However, young Indian researchers
were avidly studying foreign scientific literature. In fact, I can recall them asking me very detailed questions about papers I
had authored. In one seminar held at that time by Prof. IWATA Koichi of The University of Tokyo, several of the universityʼs
doctoral students were invited to join. They found themselves edified by the participating Indian studentsʼ communication
skills and zest for doing research. Such vibrant exchange among young researchers works to spawn future research initiatives.
Mid-career Indian researchers and experts who initially got to know their Japanese colleagues through participation in
exchanges under the Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme have since made mid- to long-term stays in Japan to carryout joint research. These collaborations have given birth to many world-leading research results.
I recently attended a seminar held in Nara on spectroscopy organised by Prof. TOMINAGA Keisuke of Kobe University. At
it, leading Japanese and Indian researchers presented their latest research results in this field. What impressed me most was
the earnest and spirited way in which young researchers selected to attend the seminar engaged their seniors in discussions
and presented their papers. In that season of radiant autumn colours, I was impressed with vigour that energized the seminar,
confirming for me the increasingly bright future that lies ahead for the Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme.

Japan-India Science Cooperation
under the Joint Council
Dr. C.N.R. Rao(Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore 560 064, India)
Being conscious of the fact that India and Japan are the two most important Asian democracies, it was my feeling for many
years that we should work together on various aspects of science, education and development. Although we had significant
relations between the two countries after the second world war, we did not have intense joint activities in science. They had
become marginal by 1990. We in India felt that there were very few Japanese scientists visiting India. I was concerned about
this matter and talked about initiating a programme between India and Japan involving scientific collaboration and cooperation.
I had a detailed discussion about this matter with my very dear friend, Prof. Nagakura Saburo. He agreed to arrange a meeting under the JSPS wherein we would have discussion about possible India-Japan Science Cooperation, if I could bring a groupof scientists from India for that meeting. This happened in 1993. I went with heads of some of the scientific agencies of India
and we had a very wonderful meeting in Tokyo with our Japanese colleagues headed by Prof. Nagakura Saburo.
The Indo-Japan Science Cooperation under the auspices of JSPS and the Department of Science and Technology, Governmentof India, blossomed since 1993. The main activities that we had were joint symposia, short-term scientist exchange programme
and also Asian Academic Seminars. The exchange programme became successful wherein a number of scientists from India
went to Japan to work in various laboratories on short visits. More importantly, the joint seminars on physical and biologicalsciences became popular and had great impact. A number of scientists from Japan came to India for meetings and for collaboration. The Asian Academic Seminar was a particularly exciting venture. The first one we had in Bangalore in the Indian
Institute of Science was outstanding with leading scientists as well as young scientists participating in the meeting.
I believe that the Indo-Japan Science Cooperation supported by JSPS and the Department of Science and Technology of India
has been a model programme and is worthy of emulation. Whatever we may do together in the future, we should keep inmind the important elements of the cooperative programme of the Indo-Japan Science Council. I do hope that scientific andcooperative collaboration between India and Japan will continue and even improve further to greater heights.
I believe that the 21st century belongs to Asia and in this scenario, India and Japan have to work together and contribute toscience and knowledge in a big way. I hope that will this happen.
I would like to acknowledge the support of the Japanese and Indian scientists and thank Prof. Nagakura Saburo for his help
and support in the early days, and Prof. Yoshihara for his valuable contributions. JSPS has been a wonderful partner in thisventure as also the DST of India.
With fond hope for a great future for Indo-Japan Science collaboration.

Manufacturing Science under the Japan-India
Cooperative Science Programme
II

Dr. KIUCHI Manabu

Early days

(Professor Emeritus, The University of Tokyo, Former Coordinator of the Manufacturing Science Area)
The decision to launch the Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme was made by the both governments in 1993. Fromthat time until the Programmeʼs overseeing body, the Japan-India Science Council, ended its activities in 2019, the collaboration and the exchange were assiduously carried out concerning the selected priority areas of natural science. Having received
a request to compile the Programmesʼ results to date, I as the Japan-side coordinator of one of the priority areas, namely
Manufacturing Science, would like to introduce some episodes that occurred during the implementation in the concernedarea.
Under the Cooperative Programme, five areas were chosen from a broad spectrum of the natural sciences. In each of them,the cautiously and intensively selected cooperation and exchange were executed. The decision to include Manufacturing Science among the priority areas was unprecedented as an international bilateral exchange programme carried out by the Japan
Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the Programmesʼ nucleus organization. Previously, JSPS had mainly supported
bilateral activities in fields of the more purely natural sciences. Manufacturing Science, which is top-to-bottom engineeringand technology, was thought to be outside the pur view of JSPSʼs support. Under this situation it was the Indian side that
proposed Manufacturing Science as a priority area. Prof. P. Rama Rao, who was then the President of IIS-Bangalore and a
Indian leading member of Science Council, had I heard strongly desired collaboration with Japan in this area, having understood the importance of Manufacturing Science from the perspective of Indiaʼs intent to develop its industry. Observing thestate of Indiaʼs development today, I am convinced of his farsightedness.
At the beginning, for seeking to create a concrete strategy for implementing the Cooperative Programme, the Japanese coordinators of the priority areas visited India and had meetings with many Indian professors and researchers of principal universities and research institutions, where they bounced ideas off Indian administrators and experts as to areas of possible collaboration and research themes in which good results could be anticipated. In this process, the Manufacturing Science area
decided to adopt a novel collaboration scheme for carrying out its bilateral scientific exchange. Before that time, JSPS ordinallyused the scheme to support joint research works in which researches advanced respectively by researchers in Japan and India
were combined, supplemented or integrated in a synergistic manner that produces more-highly advanced results. Other priority areas included in this Programme except Manufacturing Science area employed this scheme. However, it soon became
apparent, the Manufacturing Science area would have difficulty in implementing under this scheme due to the large gap
existing between Japan and India across a range of factors including feasible research themes, research capabilities, andalready-accumulated research results, irrespective of whether basic or applied research were to be conducted.
As the result of these situation and consideration, it was decided to start the areaʼs cooperative activities under the groupexchange scheme, namely, organizing a researcher group comprising the faculty of universities and research institutions connected to Manufacturing Science in India and another similar group in Japan, which would contribute to the development and15

II. Early days
advancement of research activities on both sides through inter-group exchange and information sharing. In the process,individual linkages were fostered among researchers on the two sides and recommendations leading to joint research were
promoted.
Within the domain of Manufacturing Science, the Indian side wanted to concentrate particularly on Manufacturing and/or
Processing Science and Composite Material Science. In each of these fields, researcher groups comprising 7-10 university
faculty members were formed in Japan and India. From 1995, the groups visited each otherʼs countries in every alternate year.
In each country, two kind of seminars on manufacturing processes and composite materials were held. At every seminar,
3-days sessions were conducted for exchanging knowledge and information, and 2-day visits were executed to see the pioneering research being advanced at universities and research institutions. Indian attendants could observe state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Japan.
The seminars held in each country allowed people besides the group members to attend the sessions. The purpose for doing
this was to construct platforms for as many people in related fields as possible from the two country to meet and generate
cooperative ties and collaborative relations.
In carrying out the scientific exchange activities, the participants from both countries visited many of the counterpart countryʼscities and communities, such as Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya in Japan and New Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore in India, andprinciple universities and research institutions. Over the course, they deepened their discussions on various scientific and/or
technological issues while mutually advancing research initiatives. Through this process, the diversified connections andrelationships were formed among researchers of the two countries. This had in a literal sense contributed to the building of
the infrastructure for research collaboration among so many researchers in the both countries.
Taking this opportunity to revisit the evolution of the Programmeʼs Manufacturing Science area, I would like to express myprofound appreciation to the many people on both sides whose efforts over long years have contributed to creating a flourishing Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme. I would like to extend a special word of thanks to Prof. Amitabha Ghosh,then President of IIT-Kharagpur, and Prof. Sanjay G. Dhande, then President of IIT-Kanpur. That I could share in the successes
achieved through this Programme with them is for me a great honour and happiness.

Japan has a leading position in the world of manufacturing. India has a large manufacturing base. Both the countries havetraditions of research in the field of manufacturing science and systems. It is, therefore, natural that the collaborative work in
the field of manufacturing research was carried out by the two countries.
There are several academic groups working in the field of modern manufacturing. The collaborative research in the field of
nano-manufacturing can be considered as a highlight. The field of micro-manufacturing was also explored extensively by boththe countries. The field of materials also was considered extensively. In particular, the mushy material for forging was exploredby the groups of both the countries. The field of tool geometries also saw considerable interest in this programme. Manufacturing system was an area of common interest. Many modern tools including computer applications to manufacturing weredeveloped together.
Joint activities were pursued in the form of research publications and mutual visits. Joint workshops were conducted both inJapan as well as in India. India Japan collaboration in the field of manufacturing, novel academic initiatives in India such as
IIITDM Jabalpur, IIT Hyderabad and Visionary Leaders for Manufacturing programme were established.

Mysteries of the Universe,
Pursued by Japan and India
Dr. SHIBAI Hiroshi(Professor, Osaka University)
In the early 2000ʼs, I spent a day at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, located in a huge city, Mumbai, perched ona peninsula jutting out into Arabian Sea. My host Prof. Manchanda told me that “30 years ago Hayakawa would always sit at
the table on the side of the bay smoking a cigar. At the time I was a graduate student and have since had that imagine etchedin my mind.” That person was HAYAKAWA Sachio, the former president of Nagoya University. In the 1970ʼs, the X-ray
Astronomy Group led by Profs. Hayakawa and ODA Minoru, former director of the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), carried out a joint project with Prof. B.V. Sreekantan and his group, in which they launched a scientific researchballoon from Hyderabad. Using the phenomenon of the Crab Nebula hiding behind the moon, they succeeded in measuring
the apparent size of this important x-ray source. At that time, this was a ground-breaking research achievement. Graduate
students back then had set a pivotal course for the big advances in space science to be made later between Japan and India.
Joint research in space science having continued, when the Japan-India Cooperative Scientific Programme was launched, Dr.
SUGIMOTO Daiichiro, emeritus professor, The University of Tokyo, and the abovementioned Prof. Sreekantan became thetwo coordinators in its Space Science area. They worked together to build the cooperative programme. In 1999, I succeeded
Dr. Sugimoto as the coordinator, a position which I would hold for 13 years until 2011. During that time, the coordinator on
the Indian side was Dr. Ramanath Cowsik of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics. His institute had just constructed a 2-m
aperture astronomical telescope which stood on a 4200-meter high plateau on back side of the Himalaya Mountains. Using
Indiaʼs own communication satellite, they were able to remotely control the telescope from Bengaluru where their research
center was located. Through the Japan-India Cooperative Scientific Programme, Japanese researchers provided technical advice
when the telescope was being constructed. At the end of September 2000, the “3rd India-Japan Seminar on Cooperation in
Astronomy and Astrophisics” was held near the telescope site. It was attended by four researchers from Japan including myself.
Celebrating the completion of the telescope, we held an in-depth discussion on astronomical obser vation̶while battling
altitude sickness.
While I was serving as a coordinator of the programmeʼs space science area, we established the following policies. Japan had
the most advanced equipment in the area of space science and astronomy as well as cutting-edge research technology. It did
not, however, have an ideal observatory site. On the other hand, India had ideal observatory sites as well as higher capacities
for launching rockets and scientific obser vation balloons into the atmosphere. As seen in the above example of the Crab
Nebula, Japan and India merged their strengths in joint research initiatives̶creating a synergism that proved highly beneficial to both sides.
On another plane, many Japanese researchers felt that high hurdles had to be crossed for them to initiate joint research
projects with India, when compared to researchers from Western countries. The Japan-India Cooperative Scientific Programme
wanted to help clear these hurdles. While supporting existing joint research, I tried to match both countries for further col-18

laboration based on these policies. As a result, not only was bilateral progress made in observational astronomy but also insolar physics, planetary science, and theoretical astrophysics. While some exchanges continue others, however, have ended
in these areas. Though not enough, I believe the Programme spawned some progress in advancing collaboration between
Japanese and Indian researchers.

II

In 2011, we invited Indian young researchers and graduate students to Japan to attend the 4th India-Japan Seminar, held on
the Inland Sea island of Awajishima. Twenty-four of them participated in the event along with 39 counterparts from Japan and

Early days

seven from other countries. With leading scientists from the US and Europe also invited as lecturers, a vigorous discussion
was advanced on leading-edge research in the fields of space science and astronomy. An excursion was taken to the SuperKamiokande neutrino observatory to see its state-of-the-art facilities. I believe we have planted many seeds which I hope willcontribute to bearing splendid fruit in the future of Japan-India exchange.
Looking back, I have visited more than 20 Indian cities and sojourned in India for an aggregate of more than a half year.
Through those experiences, I have witnessed the distinct difference between India with its multiplicity and Japan with its
homogeneity. Perhaps it is I who was most edified.

Academic Significance and Impact of theJapan-India Cooperative Science Programme
Dr. IWASAWA Yasuhiro(Director of Innovation Research Center for Fuel Cells, Graduate School of Informatics andEngineering, The University of Electro-Communications, Emeritus Professor of The University of Tokyo)
The Japan-India Cooperative Scientific Programme was launched in 1993 in the wake of the establishment of the Japan-India
Science Council in 1992. From the start, it had a unique presence and special significance within JSPSʼs international scientificexchange programmes given the Councilʼs initial co-chairs with Dr. NAGAKURA Saburo on the Japan side and Dr. C.N.R. Raoon the India side. Dr. Nagakura had an outstanding record of achievements in chemical kinetics, won Japanʼs “Order of Culture,” was Special Advisor to the Ministry of Education and Science, and President of the Japan Academy and of IUPAC. Dr.
Rao had made outstanding contributions in nano-materials chemistry, won great many honorary titles in both India and abroad,and chaired the Scientific Advisory Council to the Indian Prime Minister, among a succession of other significant posts. The
two leaders gave the programme a strong persona, both scientifically and politically, along with strong leadership, communication and influence capabilities. Undergirded by this leadership thrust, the members and affiliates of JSPS and DST had astrong sense of mission and the will to act upon it in carrying out the Japan-India Cooperative Scientific Programme.
In 2002, a sixth area, Surface and Interface Science, including Catalysis, was added based on a proposal by Drs. Nagakura
and Rao who saw the field as playing an integral role in the nano-sciences both in their countries and worldwide (Other areas
and Japan-side Council members are 1) Molecular Structure, Dynamics, and Molecular Materials, including Supramolecular
Science (K. Yoshihara), 2) Advanced Materials, including Polymers and Nanomaterials (M. Doyama), 3) Modern Biology andBiotechnology (A. Ishihama), 4) Manufacturing Sciences (M. Kiuchi), 5) Astronomy and Astrophysics (H. Shibai)). To become
the Japan-side Council member in this area, I received a request by phone directly from Dr. Nagakura. (At the time, I was aprofessor at The University of Tokyo specializing in surface and catalysis sciences.) Dr. Rao, the India-side Council co-chair,requested Dr. Milan K. Sanyal of the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata, to join the Area 6 project. He was known asa specialist in surface physics and nano-science.
Within the Science Council, I felt that Drs. Nagakura and Rao were a perfect match as the co-chairs, as they had a sharedsense of scientific values and programme trajectory, records of highly substantial scientific achievements, and impressive
presences within the scientific community. They created an atmosphere in which the Council members in diverse fields could
engage in friendly yet candid discussions. I personally was thankful to them for allowing me to study sand learn about research
trends in other fields and about those researchersʼ ways of thinking. Looking back, Iʼm reminded anew of how very significant
were the selections of Council members from the two countries.
In 2010, I became a coordinator of the Asian Academic Seminar held in Kolkata. Venued at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, it was attended on the Japan side by about 10 specially selected students and young researchers. Happily, none of them
contracted bacterial infections while there, so they returned to Japan unaffected by diarrhea or other problems. On the firstnight, the female students were unable to sleep having been bitten unmercifully by mosquitoes. Learning of this, Dr. Sanyal
immediately changed the hotel where the Japanese participants were staying. As a result of this kind of hospitality, everyone

20

II
Early days

enjoyed the seminar, the Indian cuisine and interaction among each other. Some of the students went on to acquiring university posts, while others can be seen playing important roles in industry. In a myriad of ways the Asian Academic Seminars
were meaningful: They provided opportunities for the young participants to experience firsthand different cultures, environments, ways of thinking, and policies, while grappling with contemporary issues such as diversity, sustainable development
goals, and higher education on the doctoral level.
In March 2007, when the Science Council met in Japan, members with various specializations engaged each other in a conversation during an after-meal break. In it, Dr. Sanyal, the Indian member of the Area 6 group, asked about whether synchrotron radiation, for which research was being advanced in India, could be added to a beamline project at either KEKʼs Photon
Factory (KEK-PF) or SPring-8 in Japan. This spurred a lot of serious questions about costs and other aspects of the idea. On
the spot, I made a phone call to Dr. NOMURA Masaharu, who was a friend (division head of KEK-PF at that time), and talked
to him about the possibility of constructing a beamline for India at KEK. Obtaining his agreement to participate, I turned to
Dr. Rao and explained how a beamline could be an important pillar of Japan-India scientific collaboration. Agreeing, he madea snap decision to fund the construction of an Indian beamline at KEK if the cost could be kept to below about 200 million
yen. Then, the three of us proposed the project to the Council.
As to JSPSʼs response, they said that they would have no objection to us proceeding freely with the project outside the parameters of the Japan-India Cooperative Programme. With that, the discussion continued between KEK, DST and Dr. Sanyal. In
September 2007, a meeting was held at KEK attended by the director and members of KEK-PF, Indian Scientific Advisory Council chair Dr. Rao, the Embassy of India Counsellor, DST executives, Dr. Sanyal, and myself. Ms. Maesawa, head of JSPSʼs Asian
Programme Division, also attended meeting, at which DST and KEK signed a Letter of Intent toward constructing the Indian
beamline. Then in 2008, the Director of KEK and the Indian Ambassador signed an MoU to build the “Indian Beamline at Photon Factory.” This sequence of events started at the Japan-India Science Council meeting hosted by JSPS was simultaneously
announced on KEKʼs website. The project became a byproduct of the Science Council. While reiterating my admiration for Dr.
Rao and the strength of his commitment to initiating this project, I also remember the flexibility shown by JSPS in allowing the
project to get off the ground.
Transitions in the Science Council itself, governmental policies and fiscal situations of the two countries, and Asiaʼs societal
environments have spurred changes in the Japan-India Cooperative Scientific Programme. Looking back, however, I think all
the members of Science Council poured their heart and energy into carrying out the mission and mandate of this Cooperative
Science Programme, which was a pivotal symbol of what could be accomplished by two Asian countries working together atthat time. I would truly be happy if youʼd share with me this sentiment.

Engineering the shapes and propertiesof nanoparticles by swift heavy ion
irradiation (2011~2012)— Toward “High-Energy Nanotechnology” —Japanese side PI: Dr. AMEKURA Hiroshi(National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba)

Indian side PI: Prof. Devesh Kumar AVASTHI*(Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC), New Delhi)(*Present affiliation: Amity University, New Delhi)
Swift heavy ions (SHIs), i.e., heavy ions with extraordinarily
high energy (~100 MeV), were formerly used in the study of
nuclear and high-energy physics only. Recently, SHIs have beenrecognized as a powerful tool for modifying the shapes andproperties of nanostructures. Using them, a new field of nanotechnology is being pioneered. In Japan, however, there is alimited number of accelerator facilities capable of applying SHIs
to nanotechnology studies. IUAC (New Delhi) is a unique accelerator facility widely open to material science and nanotechnology research. Figure 1 shows the appearance of the accelerator
tower at IUAC. The gigantic tower of approximately 50 metersin height houses a 15 UD pelletron tandem accelerator, which
generates swift heavy ions, e.g., 120 MeV Ag ions.
9+Fig. 1. Gigantic accelerator tower of approximately 50 m tallat IUAC, in which swift heavy ion (SHI) beams are
generated.

In this collaborative programme, the target was focused on aphenomenon called “shape elongation of embedded nanoparticles (NPs),” which has received much attention within thenanoscience community for these decades. As is schematicallyshown in Fig. 2, NPs embedded in an amorphous matrix, suchas silica, exhibit shape transformation from spheres to nanorods under SHI irradiation. Since each NP elongates to the same
direction parallel to the SHI beam, this method is a promising
method for forming nano-rods of macroscopic numbers, all ofFig. 2. The phenomenon called “shape elongation ofembedded NPs” is schematically depicted. The rectangles
show the cross-sections of the SiO2 matrix including NPs.
Under SHI irradiation, spherical NPs deform to nano-rods.

which align to the same direction.
One of the highlights of the joint study is shown in Fig. 3. Using three big accelerators in Japan and India, i.e., the tandem
accelerators in IUAC, New Delhi, in the Institute of Physics (IOP), Bhubaneswar, and in the Japan Atomic Energy Agency,
Tokai (JAEA-Tokai), the fluence dependences of NP shape elongation were evaluated under irradiations with a wide varietyof ion-species and energies, from 1. 7 MeV Si+ to 200 MeV Au13+ [1]. The data measured in the same way across this wide22

range gave us important clues to elucidate the mechanism of thisphenomenon [1].
With regard to the researcher exchanges conducted in 2011, Mr.*
S.A. Khan (IUAC) stayed for weeks at NIMS to study linear dichroism

2. Asian Academic Seminar/Japan-India Forum for Advanced Study

JSPS-DST Asian Academic Seminar(FY 2013)
Prof. KOTANI Motoko(Professor, Tohoku University)
On this occasion of the twentieth anniversary of exchange between the Department of Science and Technology (DST) andthe Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), I offer a hearty word of congratulations and am delighted to be able
to contribute this commemoratory publication.
Under the Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme, my field of Mathematics and Computational Science has been covered
since 2013 when the programme was adjusted, reorganizing priority areas from six to five. That made me a relatively new
member of the programme. Needless to say, however, there is a long history of exchange between mathematicians from Japanand India, which discovered “zero,” the very symbol of mathematics, and is now making great strides in the IT industry. Thoseexchange have been carried out across a wide spectrum of mathematics including theory, algebraic geometry, geometry,
representation theory, number theory, and combinatorial theory. Many Japanese mathematicians participated in the 2010
International Congress of Mathematicians held in India.
The Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme broadened the pipeline between individual Japanese and Indian researchers,organizing them in an organic and strategic manner while inviting new members into the fold. In 2013, the Asian Academic
Seminar was convened on the theme “Discrete Mathematics and its Application,” held at the Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, The University of Tokyo, on 3-10 November. It was organised by Dr. TOKIHIRO Tetsuji, professor of the
Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences and myself on the Japan side and Dr. Bimal K. Roy, director of the Indian Statistical Institute, on the Indian side.
Discrete Mathematics is drawing attention as a field of science that focuses on discrete objects and their inter-relationships.
It makes it possible to observe natural phenomena and various types of information as discrete data. Through efficient andhighly accurate analyses, discrete mathematics makes possible the discovery of principles and structures that underlie suchphenomena. The process of devising fundamental theories that span issues encountered in mathematical science and developing discrete analytical methods based on them is accruing to the establishment of important new fields of research. The
theories and methods that have so-far been developed are being applied and contributing to fields of engineering, physicaland life science, and social science, and these applications are making striking contributions to society. For examples, discrete
mathematics includes cryptography as an application of number theory; discrete graph analysis applied to materials science;
integrable systems used to analyze fluid dynamics; wavelet analysis as an application of representative theory and real analysis; simulation methods using numerical analysis and quantum information; and statistical physics using discrete stochastic
processes. Discrete mathematics has become a critical field in whatʼs called the data-driven, digital 21st century.
This seminar was held to advance research collaboration in discrete mathematics and its applications between Japan and India,
in which fundamental and application theories possessed by the two countries in their respective fields of specialization were38

merged. It also worked to provide cutting-edge theoretical training to young Japanese and Indian researchers who will withcolleagues from other countries go on to shoulder the future of this field in Asia. Finally, the seminar sought to generate seeds
for advancing joint research between the two countries in this field. It had two main themes: Combinatorial Design and Discrete
Integrable Systems. These were amplified by four sub-themes: Analysis of Graphs and Graph Analysis, Number Theory andCombinatorial Cryptography, Representation Theory, and Mathematical Physics.
Altogether, the seminar drew 74 participants, 40 from Japan and 26 from India. Eight more attended from Taiwan, Korea,
Cambodia and the Philippines. Some 34 Indian and Japanese researchers delivered presentations to a 40-person audience thatIII

included 25 graduate students. Toward the next generation discovering their own issues and techniques, the attending students
and young researchers were divided into five groups where they discussed themes related mainly to open challenging problems. On the last day of the seminar, each group delivered a report, with an award presented for the best one. Over the course

Science Highlightsof the event, the young participants ate and lodged together, giving them an ideal change to deepen their discussions, broadena shared interest in a variety of issues, and create lasting friendship relations.
As mentioned above, this Asian Academic Seminar merely marked the start of the inclusion of Mathematics and Computational
Science within the Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme. I look forward to it providing the impetus for ever-stronger
colleagueal ties and the advancement of joint research between Indian and Japanese researchers. In fact, I am pleased to hearthat related inquires and recruitments are already increasing under the Special Lecture Programme and for Joint Seminars.

III. 2. Asian Academic Seminar/Japan-India Forum for Advanced Study

JSPS-DST Japan-India Forum for Advanced Study(FY 2019)
Prof. KOTANI Motoko
The FY2019 Japan-India Forum for Advanced Study was held on 1-8 January at the Indian Statistical Institute in Kolkata on
the theme “Mathematics and Computational Science.” It comprised a seminar, tutorial, and workshops. Held for students andyoung researchers, the tutorial featured a series of lectures on the mathematical science underpinnings of quantum computation and quantum information. In conveying basic knowledge, the lectures were not hypothetical but intensely introductoryin nature. The last day of the tutorial took the form of an “Interacting Session” in which the students and young researchers
themselves wrapped up the lecture series and sought out research themes that could be advanced. In the workshops, invitedlectures were delivered by frontline scientists on important topics related to the mathematical sciences used in quantum
computation and information, and poster presentations were given by the students and young researchers, who also received
guidance from the frontline scientists on ways to enhance their research themes.
The main points of the seminar and the lectures given were as follows.
Todayʼs computer, both in theory and practice are based on classical physics. They are limited by locality and by the classicalfact that systems can be in only one state at the time. However, modern quantum physics tells us that the world behaves quite
differently. A quantum system can be in a super position of many different states at the same time, and can exhibit interference effects during the course of its evolution. Moreover, spatially separated quantum systems may be entangled with eachother and operations may have “non-local” effects because of this. Quantum computation is the field that investigates thecomputational power and other properties of computers based on quantum-mechanical principles with the apprehension thatthey might be able to solve some complex problems more quickly. With initial formalisation of a quantum computer by Yuri
Manin, Richard Feynman, and Paul Benioff, complexity theor y by Sanjeev Arora, it started gaining momentum after thedevelopment of Deutsch and Jozsa algorithm, providing exponential speedup over best known classical algorithm for the sameproblem. However, interest in the field increased tremendously after Peter Shorʼs very surprising discovery of efficient quantum algorithms for the problems of integer factorization and discrete logarithms. Since most of current classical cryptography
is based on the assumption that these two problems are computationally hard, the ability to actually build and use a quantum
computer would allow us to break most current classical cryptographic systems, notably the RSA system. At the same time
a quantum primitives of cryptography was also proposed by Bennett and Brassard.
To what extent will quantum computers ever be built? At this point in time, it is just too early to tell. The first small 2-qubit
quantum computer was built in 1997 and in 2001 a 5-qubit quantum computer was used to successfully factor the number 15.
Since then, experimental progress on a number of different technologies has been steady but slow. Currently, the largest
quantum computers have a few dozen qubits. The practical problems facing physical realizations of quantum computers seem
formidable. The problems of noise and decoherence have to some extent been solved in theory by the discovery of quantum
error-correcting codes and fault-tolerant computing but these problems are by no means solved in practice. Moreover, while
the difficulties facing the implementation of a full quantum computer may seem daunting, more limited applications involving
quantum communication have already been implemented with some success, for example teleportation.

1. Up to Holding the Seminar
As a long-time programme of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), Asian Academic Seminars had as their
purpose the fostering of young researchers from the Asian region and the promotion of research exchange. Through theseseminars, the young researchers received lectures on selected themes from topflight, frontline researchers in the subject field
and made observations visits to related research facilities and institutions.
The first meeting of the Japan-India Science Council was held in New Delhi in August, 1993. At it, the co-chairs, Dr.
NAGAKURA Saburo, President, The Graduate University for Advanced Studies, and Dr. C.N.R. Rao, President, Jawaharlal
Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, agreed to hold the Councilʼs first Asian Academic Seminar on the theme“Molecular Science and Molecular Materials” in Bangalore in November of the following year.
In recent years, rapid advances had been made in molecular science and molecular materials as boundary domains of chemistry, physics and biology, so the seminar covered a broad range of topics from single-cell molecule structure to the development of functional materials as molecular assemblies. Vigorous research activities were being carried out in these fields within
the Asian region, with Japan, India, China and Taiwan boasting particularly high levels of science. This fact is witnessed inthree Asian researchers (Drs. C.V. Raman of India, FUKUI Kenichi of Japan, and Y.T. Lee of Taiwan) having won Nobel Prizes
in fields of Molecular Science.
Despite the fact that the research standard in Asian countries was high, research collaboration and information exchange
among researchers in fields of molecular science was sorely lacking when compared to European countries. To say nothingof the virtual nonexistence of exchange among young molecular science researchers. Breaking through this milieu and deepening exchange among researchers in the molecular sciences, especially young researchers, would we believed stimulate andencourage research in molecular sciences and materials, while having a large impact on strengthening colleagueship andfriendship among the regionʼs young researchers. This was precisely the objective sought in holding Asian Academic Seminars.
Based on an agreement between Professors Nagakura and Rao, JSPS and the Indian governmentʼs Department of Scienceand Technology (DST) were to co-organise the seminar on Molecular Science and Molecular Materials, with the Institute for42本原稿は学術月報第48巻第 5 号（64～67ページ，1995年）から抜粋したものです．

1. セミナー開催まで
アジア学術セミナー（以下「セミナー」という）は，日本学術振興会 (JSPS）の事業の一環として，アジア地域の若手研究者の育成と研究交流を図る目的で数年前より実施されているものであり，特定のテーマを設定してその分野で活躍中の一流の研究者による講演と関連する研究所，研究機関の見学から成っている．
1993年 8 月，ニューデリーで開催されたインド−日本科学会議において，長倉三郎教授（総合研究大学院大学長）と C.N.R.
Rao 教授（ネールセンター長）との間で，本セミナーを 分子科学と分子材料 のテーマの下で1994年11月にインドのバン
ガロールにおいて開催することが合意された．分子科学，分子材料は化学，物理，生物の境界領域として近年急速な発展を示している研究分野であり，単一分子の構造，機能に関する基礎的研究から分子集合体としての機能性材料の開発に至る広い範囲にわたっている．アジア地域におけるこの分野の研究活動は活発に行われており，とくに日本，インド，中国，韓国，
台湾の研究水準は極めて高く，このことはこの地域で 3 人のノーベル賞分子科学者（インドの C.V. Raman，日本の福井謙一，
台湾の Y.T. Lee（本セミナーの講演者））を輩出していることからもうかがえる．
これらアジア各国の研究水準は高いにもかかわらず，各国の分子科学研究者間の研究交流，情報交換は欧州諸国に対するものと比較して稀薄であると言わざるを得ない．まして若手の分子科学研究者間の交流は皆無に近い状態である．この現状を打破し研究者，とくに若手研究者の交流を深めることは，アジア地域における分子科学，分子材料の研究に大きな刺激を与え研究の発展をうながすとともに，若手研究者の連帯感と友情を深めるのに大きな効果をもつものと考えられる．これはまさにアジア学術セミナーの目的にほかならない．
こうして長倉−Rao の聞の合意に基づいて， 分子科学と分子材料 に関するアジア学術セミナーを日本学術振興会とインド科学技術省（DST）が共同主催し，日本側は分子科学研究所が，インド側はネールセンターがそれぞれ世話機関となり準備を進めることになった．まず，セミナーは1994年11月22日〜12月 2 日にバンガロールのインド科学研究所（Indian Instituteof Science）で行うことが決まり，日本側はセミナー前半の講演を，インド側は後半の研究所見学をそれぞれ分担して立案し，実施することになった．セミナーの実施方法，講演主題，講師，見学場所の選定等，組織委員会（Table 1）は約 1 年にわたって準備を行った．若手研究者の参加募集は Table 1 に掲げた開催趣意書を各国の著名な研究者に配布するとともに，優秀な35歳以下の若手研究者の推薦を依頼した．その結果，インドから17名，日本から 8 名，中国 5 名，韓国 3 名，シンガ
ポール 1 名，タイ 1 名，フィリピン 1 名が出席した．なおこのほかにオーストラリア 2 名，ニュージーランド 1 名，ロシア
1 名の若手研究者が講師の資格で参加したので，総計40名となった．また講演者は，ノーベル化学賞受賞者である Y.T. Lee

III. 2. Asian Academic Seminar/Japan-India Forum for Advanced Study
Molecular Science on the Japan side and the Nehru Centre on the India side coordinating the seminar. At that, preparation
to hold the seminar started. First, it was decided to hold the seminar in Bangalore during the period from 22 November
through 2 December, 1994. A plan was made and carried out in which the Japan side delivered lectures in the first half of theseminar and the India side conducted research facility observation tours in the second half. Preparation by the organizing
committee for holding the seminar was carried out over a period of about one year, which included establishing an implementation method, choosing lecture topics, selecting lecturers, and choosing places for conducting research observations. (Please
see Table 1.)
In recruiting young researchers to participate in the seminar, a prospectus (seen in Table 1) was distributed to distinguishedresearchers in Asian countries, who recommended several excellent young researchers of under 35 years of age. Among themwere 17 from India, eight from Japan, five from China, three from Korea, and one from Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines.
As young researchers, two researchers from Australia and one from New Zealand and Russia were added, making a total of 40
seminar participants. There were 22 lecturers hailing from seven countries, headed by Dr Y.T. Lee, Nobel laureate in Chemistry.
(Please see Table 2.)
The Japan side arranged the travel schedules and supported the travel costs of the lecturers and young researchers attending
the seminar from countries other than India. For this purpose, I and two administrative staffs of the Okazaki Institute of
Molecular Science contacted each researcher and coordinated all of their travel schedules. This task took a great deal of timeand effort. A huge number of faxes were transmitted in communicating with the participants. I extend my hearty thanks tostaff members of International Research Cooperation Division at Okazaki, who devoted themselves to carrying out this rigorous task. I was lucky that the two staffs were there to help this time. If researchers had to do all of this preparation by themselves, it would be at the significant sacrifice of their research activities. I hoped that a strategy could be devised to lighten
the workload on the coordinating organisations when holding the next Asian Academic Seminar.
At the same time, people on the India side work hard to coordinate the seminarʼs implementation plan, help to acquire visas
for the participants to enter India, secure lodging for each of them, and devise measures to respond to the periodically occurring plague clamour in India. In doing these various things, we were greatly assisted by Professors B. Bagchi and S. Ramaseshaof the Indian Institute of Science and the administrative staffs of the Nehru Centre. To all of them, I take this opportunity to
express my hearty appreciation.

2. Holding the Seminar
I thought that we had done everything we needed to do and weʼre ready to hold the seminar. But, if I were to say that I was
free of anxiety before arriving in India, it would be less than truthful. The arrival of my flight in Bombay was 10 hours late,while the domestic flights of other Japanese were abruptly cancelled for the excuse that they didnʼt have the required numberof passengers to take off. Feeling flurried, I encountered many unanticipated things, which kept occurring. However, myanxiety was relieved when arriving at the Indian Institute of Science, the venue for the seminar in Bangalore. Located in thesouthern Indian state of Karnataka, Bangalore is a lusciously green garden city perched atop a 700-meter high plateau. It is
well known as a place where people go to escape to Indiaʼs summer heat. Situated in the northeast part of the city, the Indian
Institute of Science has an expansive campus̶evoking a feeling of being in a different world, itʼs dotted with historical, stately
buildings enveloped in thick groves of large trees. In November, the air was dry, giving way to a wide expanse of clear, blue

2. セミナーの概要

Science Highlights

セミナーの準備は万端ととのえたつもりであったが，実際にインドに着くまでは心配がなかったと言えば嘘になる．私自身ボンベイ到着が約10時間遅れ，他の日本人の方は予約していたインド国内の航空便が客が少ないという理由で突然欠航となり泡を食ったりと，いろいろと予想しないことが多かった．
しかし，セミナー会場であるバンガロールのインド科学研究所に着き不安は一掃された．南インドのカルナータカ州の州都であるバンガロールは標高700m の高原に位置する緑あふれるガーデン・シティーであり，避暑地としても有名である．市の北西部にあるインド科学研究所は広大なキャンパスを占め，うっそうと茂る大樹の森の中に由緒ある重厚な建物が点在する別天地であった．11月は乾期にあたり，澄んだ青空が拡がり，柔らかい日射しが樹々の葉に照りかがやいている風景は，
ここに来るまで想像だにしなかったものである．また，よく整備された快適な宿舎はインドまでの長旅の疲れをいやしてくれるに十分であった．
セミナーの会場は，今世紀初頭に建てられた Faculty Hall という英国風の重厚で気品あふれる石造りの建物（Figure 1）の中にあり，これもまた英国の国会議事堂内を思わせるような200人くらいが収容できる立派な講義室であった．セミナーは，C.N.R.
Rao ネールセンター長の歓迎の辞，長倉三郎総合研究大学院大学長，菊池健日本学術振興会理事及び私の挨拶のあと，各講師による講演がプログラムに従って進行した．講演は午前に 2 つ，午後に 2 〜 3 つという比較的ゆったりしたもので，討論の時間も十分に設けられた．コーヒーブレークや立食形式の昼食は，講義室に隣接する貴族の舞踏会場を思わせるような壮大な部
屋があてられ，そこで討論の続きがなされたり，また講師と若手研究者との活発な交流が行われた．夕方 5 時から 7 時までの
2 時間は若手研究者がそれぞれの研究を発表するプレゼンテーションにあてられ，活発な討論が展開され大いに盛り上がった．
このようにすべての参加者が朝 9 時から夕方 7 時頃まで行動をともにした一週間であった．こう書くと大変ハードな 1 週
間と聞こえるかもしれないが，ゆったりとした和気藷々の楽しい 1 週間であった．なお，11月25日以降の講義は同じキャンパス内にあるネ−ルセンターの講義室に会場を移して行われたが，ここも熱帯の色鮮やかな花でかこまれたすばらしい場所
であった．

3. 感想，その他
今回のセミナーは，一流の研究者による第一線の研究をじっくり聞くことを主限としたため，これら研究者の研究に対する哲学というか，考え方，アプローチ等，通常の学会等ではとても聞けない貴重な話を聞くことができた．このように，ノーベル賞受賞者を含む22名の著名な分子科学研究者からそれぞれまとまった講演を一週間にわたって，しかも限られた少人数で受けることができたのは賛沢の極みと言うべきであろう．若手研究者はもとより講師をつとめたシニアーの研究者にとっても極めて有意義であった．
また若手研究者によるプレゼンテーションも素晴らしいもので，意欲あふれる優秀な研究者がアジアで確実に育ちつつあることを実感した．若手研究者たちはセミナー開催中，同じ宿舎で寝食をともにし，互いに深い友情と強い連帯感が生まれ45

III. 2. Asian Academic Seminar/Japan-India Forum for Advanced Studysky. Leaves of the trees reflected soft rays of the sun filtering through them. Before coming here, I hadnʼt imagined such a
sublime scene. Moreover, the comfortable lodging accommodations provided for us were more than adequate to rest our
weary bones after such a long flight.
As to the venue of the seminar, it was held in the Faculty Hall. Constructed at the turn of the 20th century, it is a stone building abounding in refined British architecture. (Please see Figure 1.) Inside the building is a splendid conference hall, evocative of the inside of the British House of Parliament, which accommodates about 200 people.
To kick off the seminar, Dr. C.N.R. Rao delivered welcoming remarks, followed by messages from Dr. Nagakura and Dr. KIKUCHI
Ken, President of JSPS. Then, the programme proceeded with lectures by distinguished scientists. Two lectures were scheduled
for the mornings and two or three for the afternoons, which gave the proceedings a fairly laid back pace, allowing ample time
for discussions. The coffee breaks and buffet-style lunches were held in an adjacent room̶a large and regal room bearing
resemblance to a dance hall designed for the nobility. Discussions were continued throughout these periods, with spirited
exchanges enjoyed between the lecturers and young researchers. During the two hours between 5 and 7 in the evening, theyoung researchers gave presentations on their various research pursuits, spurring vigorous discussions and interactions.
Over the course of this week, the participants acted together from nine in the morning to seven in the evening in carryingout the many activities packed into this seminar programme. From November 25th, the lectures were carried out in the conference hall of the Nehru Centre located on the same campus̶also a splendid hall surrounded by brightly coloured tropicalflowers.

3. Impressions
Differing from regular seminars, this one was not limited to listening to research presentations from frontline researchers; italso gave the participants an opportunity to learn first-hand about the philosophies, ways of thinking, and approaches of toptier scientists. It gave some 22 prominent researchers, including a Nobel laureate, a platform over a period of one week toaddress a small but very attentive audience̶providing a uniquely meaningful opportunity for not only the young researchers
but also their senior colleagues.
Watching the young researchers as they enthusiastically delivered their presentations gave me a vivid sense that vibrantscientists with outstanding potential were being fostered in Asia. Over the course of the seminar, the young researchers lodged
and ate together, giving them a rich opportunity to form close friendships along with strong collegial ties, which would be
sure to play a catalytic role in advancing future molecular science research within the Asian community.
The India side accorded the seminar participants warm hospitality in a variety of ways, including a welcoming get-together
party, an opportunity to watch a sensational Indian dance performance, an outdoor dinner under the stars at a superb hotel,
and an excursion to Mysore, the City of Palaces, at the end of the week. All of these events gave us an opportunity to savour
and enjoy splendid Indian scenery and culture. Moreover, the opportunity given by the Indian side to the young researchers
to observe research institutions was very meaningful for them as it allowed them to visit labs where they met Indian researchers fervently engaged in carrying out basic research.

ate, who are the pioneers in molecular spectroscopy, and the lectures were delivered by leading scientists who have madeoutstanding scientific achievements in molecular sciences. In every year, a scientist elected by the JSPS-DST Council delivered
his/her lecture in the partner country. The first Lecture was delivered by Prof. ITO Mitsuo, the director of the Institute for
Molecular Science at the time, in Bangalore in 1997. In 1999, Prof. C. N. R. Rao and Prof. NAGAKURA Saburo, who initiatedthe Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme, delivered their lectures in Tokyo. Including these 3 scientists, 11 scientists
from Japan and 9 scientists from India have been awarded the lectureship in these 23 years till 2019. The lectures by theJapanese scientists were delivered mainly in the National Symposium in the Chemical Research Society of India, while thoseby the Indian scientists were in the Annual Meeting of the Molecular Science Society of Japan. In the activities of theMizushima-Raman Lectureship, many of the lecturers visited several institutions along with the Lecture, for scientific exchanges
during their stay in the partner country. The Mizushima-Raman Lecture together with the scientific exchanges in the institution visits played an important role in the scientific interactions between the two countries. In particular, young students andresearchers were encouraged by the lectures and scientific exchanges in the institution visits. This has contributed strongly
to enhancing the bilateral interactions in molecular science field and related physical chemistry areas. The Mizushima-Raman
Lectureship will come to the end after the lecture by Prof. TAHARA Tahei in 2019. We are convinced that what the MizushimaRaman Lecture series have accomplished will be inherited in the molecular science communities in both countries and will
give seeds in creating future scientific developments in various directions.

Mizushima-Raman Lecture (2017) Report
Dr. TAKATSUKA Kazuo(Research Leader of Fukui Institute for Fundamental Chemistr y, Kyoto University,
Professor Emeritus of The University of Tokyo, Japan)
It is my great honor to have given the Mizushima-Raman Lecture for the year of 2017 at 22th National Symposium in Chemistry in the Chemical Research Society of India (CRSI) on the 3rd, February 2018. I could take this opportunity to visit fourworld renown research institutions, where I was invited to deliver lectures and enjoyed fruitful discussions with scientists andquestions from many graduate students. Below is my report on the travel during the Mizushima-Raman lectureship.
Right after arriving at Delhi on the January 30th, I visited Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) to see my old friend, Professor
Ramakrishna Ramaswamy, School of Physical Sciences (SPS), who kindly hosted me together with Professor Pradipta
Bandyopadhyay, School of Computational and Integrative Sciences (SCIS). I enjoyed very exciting discussion with front-running
experimentalists of molecular science at SPS. I also had opportunity talk with the Dean of SCIS and other professors on thedesigning of the graduate school of bioinformatics with future scopes to prepare systematic educational programmes for thosefrom different fields of science; biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, information science and so on. On the next day (the31st), I gave a talk in a joint seminar of SPS and SCIS, with a title “Mechanism and Dynamics of Charge Separation in Water
Splitting”, in which about 50 staff and graduate students joined. Active discussions and questions were casted in this talk. On the
February 1st, Professor Parbati Biswas and Rama Kant kindly invited me to the Department Seminar at Department of Chemistry, University of Delhi. I gave a talk on “Mechanism and Dynamics of Charge Separation in Water Splitting” in a rather instructive way tracking the way of understanding from proton transfer to electron dynamics. Among more than 60 people getting
together, I noticed far higher ratio of woman graduate students in the audience than in the Japan standard. Since then I kept
being impressed with the extremely high activities performed by women scientists and engineers in India.
The February 2nd was devoted to traveling to Raipur for CRSI meeting.
I delivered on Feb. 3rd a Mizushima-Raman lecture in the award talk session in CRSI at the Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University.
The title of my talk was “Electron Dynamics in Chemical Reactions: Time-Domain Quantum Chemistr y”, which is about
theoretical chemistr y I have been developing as a new field ofchemical realm beyond the Born-Oppenheimer paradigm. The
president of CRSI is Professor Narayanasami Sathyamurthy, arenowned theoretical chemist, with whom I became acquainted
way back in 1980s at Institute of Molecular Science, Japan. I
enjoyed talking with him during the meeting. I was asked questions by many graduate students mostly on how they should
prepare to achieve great scientific performances. I wish I could
have known it when I was young! I could only advise them to startfrom and stay long very basic and fundamental studies but not to52

jump easily to application studies. Maybe I am wrong.
February 4th was devoted to traveling to Kolkata to visit Indian
Association of Cultivation of Science (IACS).
Visiting IACS, the second time, was mentally comfortable, since
this is one of the leading places of theoretical chemistry. On the
5th, I was honored to be invited to give a Sadhan Basu Memorial

III

Lecture under the title “Molecular Science beyond the BornOppenheimer Paradigm”. I enjoyed discussions very much withProfessors Satrajit Adhikari and Debashis Mukherjee, who are

Science Highlights

among the world leaders in theoretical chemistry.
February 6th was a traveling day to Munbai to visit Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT).
On the 7th I gave a seminar talk about “Mechanism and Dynamics of Charge Separation in Water Splitting”, to which about
30 very serious graduate students joined along with my host Prof. Lakshmi Kantam, the member of the Japan-India Science
Council, and Professor Milan Sanyal, the Indian co-chairman of the Japan-India Science Council. I was guided to the activities
in ICT and could see and talk with the Vice-Chancellor (equivalent to a president in Japan), Professor G. D. Yadav. This institute is an amazing place and very different from other science-oriented universities and research institutes I have ever visited,
not only in India but in Japan, in that every research group here has a strong intension to quickly scale up their research
results in the laboratories to an industrial level. This strong will to contribute to society through engineering seems to makethis institute extremely active.
I aimed back at Japan on the next day.
This travel has been my fourth visit to India, and I met many Indian scientists who told me that they enjoyed staying in Japan
while they were young as graduate students and postdocs. I am sure that our relationship will become even wider and deeper.
Last but not least, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the hosts at the individual visiting places, in particular,
Professor Lakshmi Kantam, who has kindly planned and arranged such a perfect and comfortable visit to the places in India.
I also deeply thank Professor Toshiaki Enoki and Professor Milan Sanyal for their devoted management of the MizushimaRaman Lecture in the Japan-India Collaborative Science Programme.

Mizushima-Raman Lecture (2018) Report
Prof. Chandrabhas Narayana(Professor, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore)
It was an honor to be chosen to deliver the Mizushima-Raman Lecture for the year 2018. This lecture is held annually under
the joint leadership of DST, New Delhi and JSPS, Tokyo and alternates between Indian and Japanese Academician.
I presented my Mizushima-Raman Lecture for the year 2018 in the Annual meeting of Molecular Science Society conductedin Fukuoka during Sept 10 – 13, 2018.
I arrived on the September 9, 2018 from Bangalore, India and delivered my lecture on Sept 12, 2018. My lecture was titled“Application of Raman spectroscopy from MOFs to Drug Discovery” and was very well received by the over 100 attendees.
There were several interesting and thought-provoking questions at the end of the lecture and in the discussions afterwards.
It was an honor to receive the certificate of the lecture and a memento from Prof. Tahei Tahara, President, Japanese Molecular Science Society. It was interesting for me to see the high standard, vibrancy and active engagement that the Japanesecolleagues displayed in their talks and discussions throughout the sessions that I attended. I was invited to the Banquet thatevening and was asked to give a speech in the Banquet. This was an honor as there were over 800 participants in the Banquet.
I could interact and make friends during this period.
From Fukuoka, I moved to Tokyo on Sept 13, 2018. On September 14, 2018, I visited Prof. TAHARA Taheiʼs group in Molecular Spectroscopy Laboratory, RIKEN. I spent the whole day with Taharaʼs group and gave a lecture titled “Application ofRaman Spectroscopy from Condense Matter to Biology”. This was my first visit there and it was exciting to see the various
activities in the laboratories related to molecular spectroscopy. The programme ended with a dinner with Prof. Tahei Tahara.
On September 15, 2018, I had the opportunity to visit Prof. KAGI Hiroyuki of The University of Tokyo. Here I got an opportunity
to the state-of-the-art High Pressure and Temperature setup to do structural determination in Geochemical Research Center.
I gave a talk titled “Transformation to body centered cubic face in Aluminium and multiple phases analogous to Ice in Ammonium Fluoride”. It was received well and we are planning to continue the collaborations in future on High Pressure Neutron
Diffraction studies. We went out for a lunch after the lecture together and had interaction during lunch to further collaboration.
September 17 and 18, 2018, I spent in Kyoto visiting Profs. KITAGAWA Susumu, KITAGAWA Hiroshi, HORIGE Satoshi in
Kyoto University. I got an opportunity to interact with representatives of Horiba (a spectroscopy company in Kyoto) and adinner with them on September 17, 2018. Here I gave the talk titled “Molecular Origin of Gas Adsorption in MOFs”. This isa group which are leaders in the field of MOFs and it was a great learning interacting and getting to know the laboratory. On
September 18, 2018, we had a great dinner with the host.
I returned from Kyoto on September 19, 2018 and went directly to The University of Tokyo to meet Prof. NISHIHARA Hiroshi

54

in Hongo Campus. Here I interacted with his group and gave a talk on “Understanding at molecular level using Raman Spectroscopy in Chemistry and Biology”. It was a great experience to learn about the Chemistry Department and interact withthe students and staff of Prof. Nishiharaʼs laboratory. We had a nice outing at the end of the day with a few of the laboratory
members and Prof. Nishihara.
On September 20, 2018, I had the opportunity to visit Institute for Solid State Physics, The University of Tokyo. I was hosted
by the Director of the Institute Prof. MORI Hatsumi. Here I got a chance to see the excellent facilities in the laser spectroscopy
and some of the state-of-the-art facilities for Solid State Physics research. I delivered the Condense Matter Seminar at thisIII

institute titled “Elucidating new topological transitions under pressure”. I was hosted by Prof. Mori for a excellent Sushi lunchwith her colleagues.

Science Highlights

On September 21, 2018, I had the opportunity to visit Gakushuin University and was hosted by Prof. IWATA Koichi. It was agreat opportunity to see the time resolved Laser spectroscopic studies on some of the best condense matter systems. Here I
delivered a lecture titled “Understanding at molecular level using Raman Spectroscopy in Chemistry and Biology”. After spending a whole day in the laboratory, Prof. Iwata took me to an excellent restaurant for Tempura. It was a great experience tohave some live tampuras.
I returned to India on September 22, 2018. I hope my visit for the Mizushima-Raman Lecture and the resulting scientificexchanges will contribute to further strengthening the bilateral scientific exchanges between Japan and India, triggering newpaths for collaboration and enhancing scientific work on both sides. I thank the Department of Science and Technology (DST),
India and the Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS), Japan, for awarding me this lectureship.
I am the coordinator of the Indian Beamline, Photon Factory, KEK, Tsukuba, Japan as part of the Japan-India Joint MoU forsynchrotron experiments under the DST. Hence I would be repeatedly coming to Japan to do experiments and for administering the exchanges from India. Hence I am sure these interactions will be blooming in the coming in years.
I am indebted to Prof. Enoki Toshiaki, Professor Emeritus of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, who meticulously planned
my visit, which helped me in going to so many laboratories and interact with the best faculty in my area of research evenwhen it was a vacation season for many of the universities. He engaged with me for more than half a year, constantly suggesting the schedules, getting me in touch with the JSPS officials and then offering me company in my travel from Tokyo to
Fukuoka and back. I believe he went well beyond his responsibility and took great interest in ensuring that my stay in Japanwas well organise and smooth. Thank you very much Toshiaki, for your continuous and elaborate efforts! I express my deep
gratitude to Prof. Enoki Toshiaki, I am indebted to Prof. Milan Sanyal and Prof. M. Lakshmi Kantham for this wonderful
opportunity. I thank the DST and JSPS Offices for all the administrative support.

Important partnership between Japan and India forscience and technology in the globe and its future
Dr. ENOKI Toshiaki(Member of the Council, Professor Emeritus of Tokyo Institute of Technology)
As a scientist who has been collaborating with Indian colleagues for over 23 years and who has been working on the JapanIndia Science Council since 2005, it is my great pleasure to have this opportunity to convey my expectations and views regarding the future prospects of the Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme and its framework beyond.
Since the Japan-India Cooperative Science Programme, initiated by Prof. S. Nagakura and Prof. C. N. R. Rao, was started in
the mid-1990s, bilateral scientific interaction between Japan and India has strengthened continuously while expanding to awide variety of science fields along with a growing number of scientists involved. This is partly due to economic growth inboth countries but more importantly it owes to the efforts that individual Japanese and Indian scientists have made throughtheir collaborations. These bilateral collaborations, workshops, Asian Academic Seminars and exploratory exchanges carried
within the framework of the JSPS-DST Programme have worked as a catalyst in both enhancing scientific interaction andcreating close friendship. The seeds of research work, nurtured so far through these scientist collaborations, have sprouted
big and important scientific achievements in various fields involving mathematics & information science, physics & chemistry,materials sciences, bioscience, and earth & space science.
At this point along the road we have paved over the past 25 years, we can envision future prospects for bilateral scientificexchange. The bilateral collaborations supported by the JSPS-DST Programme are expected to advance research even more
efficiently and robustly in ways that will propel milestone developments in science and technology. Each country has its own
areas of strength: India is taking strong initiatives in basic science and information science, while Japan promotes robustinteraction between academia and industry, which facilitates the transfer of scientific achievements to practical applicationsin industries. Bilateral interactions between the two countries having different research trends are expected to create a diversity in science and technology, resulting in building new research areas. Also expected is the greater involvement of young
researchers, such as PhD students and postdocs, along with senior scientists in bilateral exchanges so as to vitalize futurebilateral initiatives. In this respect, bilateral scientific workshops and invitations of senior leading scientists to the partnercountry can be utilized effectively in fostering young researchers. Long-term stays in laboratories in the partner country to
do collaborative work will encourage young researchers in ways that strengthen our future partnership. In the coming decade,the activities of Asian countries, involving Japan and India, are expected to become increasingly more important in many
aspects within the global community. I am confident that the interplay between our two countries within framework of thestrong partnership created over the past 25 years is certain to play a pivotal role in leading the global advancement of scienceand technology.

Toward enhancing the horizon of materials, in the years ahead
Prof. Thalappil Pradeep(Professor, Indian Institute of Technology Madras)
Materials science has expanded tremendously in the past three decades. It has probably witnessed more and more excitements
each passing year, during this period. This may be seen in epoch making discoveries such as the bulk synthesis of fullerenes
in 1990, discovery of nanotubes and graphene in 1990s and 2000s, respectively, emergence of 2D materials, semiconductorIVquantum dots, atomically precise clusters, functional materials, soft matter, and many others, in the very same period, although
not in any chronological order. It has been the period in which many of these materials have found their way into technology,

Future Prospects

in the form of new displays, diagnosis and imaging in biology, etc. Yet, several of the applications of such materials researched
upon, although very much in the air, have not been ready for the market.
Despite all around expansion of activities, the period has also been marked with increased economic disparity. Over 20% of
the people in India do not have access to potable water. Affordable healthcare is still a distant dream for many. Sustainableagriculture has to be practiced for India and many parts of the world to ensure that their populations do not go hungr y.
Increased mineral load on the soil due to unsustainable agricultural practices, poor planning and inadequate resources makeit impossible to solve the problems at hand in a reasonable time. Environment is increasingly threatened.
Solutions to each one of the problems above fall in the domain of advanced materials. There is a lot more that can be accomplished by working together as problems transcend national boundaries. This is especially true in areas where large scale
synthesis, thorough characterization using advanced tools, prototyping and testing and evaluation at point of use are needed
to ensure returns for the society. It is also important to realize that without collective partnership, massive problems of thiskind cannot be solved.
The collaborative scientific programmes between our nations, besides the obvious scientific returns, have brought people
together. They have in fact brought together the best of people between the countries. Yet there are more, outside the loop.
In the following, some of the important aspects that need to be looked into for lasting impact of collaborative research arepresented, in the specific context of India-JSPS interactions.
1. The bilateral programme has mostly been limited to exchange visits between the countries. Full benefits of exchange
have not been available in view of the limited period of funding, operational differences in both the sides, quantum offunding, etc. For example, it is nearly impossible to recruit PhD students in any project, considering the funding period.
Without such dedicated manpower, it is impossible to deliver results of larger importance.
2. The programme has to include industries. Industrial challenges have to be taken up with industrial participants withthe objective of wealth creation. Industries at both the ends have to be eligible to be included in the programme. About
20% of the projects may be with such collaborative efforts.
3. Disciplinar y boundaries have changed in the past several years. Several boundaries have vanished completely and57

IV. Future Prospects
several others emerged as well. In the years ahead, more linkages with computational, artificial intelligence and otherdisciplines are likely to emerge.
4. Research and publishing are changing tremendously and technology is shifting publishing industry to explore different
options. International funding has to adapt to this change.
5. Meaningful impact with limited funding requires new ideas to be explored. For that to happen, highly efficient distribution of resources is needed. It is often not the quantum of money, but the efficiency of distribution that matters – forexample in supporting travel for joint research, for joint measurements at central facilities, etc. More efficient timebound selection of projects is needed.
6. Career opportunities in advanced science are shrinking across nations. Joint research experience should provide greater
opportunities to participating researchers, even in areas outside academic research.
While many of the aspects above are common to other disciplines, societal and industrial relevance are likely to be morein materials.

Future Perspectives: the Past, Present,
and Future of Materials Research
Prof. SUZUKI Atsushi(Professor, Yokohama National University)
One of the Councilʼs priority areas before 2011 was “Advanced Materials, including Polymers and Nano-materials (Engineered
Materials Systems; Engineering and Processes).” With the strong leadership of Prof. M. Doyama and Prof. G. Sundararajan
cooperation in this area between the two countries developed with the researcher network of materials scientists extendingIVthroughout the joint programmes (i.e. Research Projects, Seminars, Visits of Scientists̶Exploratory Exchange, later Special
Lecture Tour Programme under JICSP̶and Asian Academic Seminars). The human network created during the first 18 years

Future Prospects

took over the new priority area “Materials and System Engineering: Man-made Systems,” which continued for 8 more years.
During the period of the Science Councilʼs operation, a huge transformation in academia and the economy occurred in bothcountries.
Over the past 26 years (1993-2019), materials science has rapidly expanded across its traditional boundaries of physics, chemistr y, and biology. New journals on materials topics have been rapidly launched by many diverse societies. Concurrently,
materials science has attracted broad interest in cross-disciplinary fields. During this period, Asian countries have shown thefastest growth in scientific output in fields of materials science. In terms of the number of papers, India climbed from a low
status in the mid-1990s to a top-ten status in the 2000s. This is correlated with its economic growth, and India will continue
to be one of the worldʼs fastest growing nations in the next decade.
The situation surrounding todayʼs academia and industry are quite different from that at the beginning of 1990s greatly due
to global environmental issues. An increased awareness of global effects on the environment has called for technologicalinnovation in the materials science field. In this situation, developing countries as well as developed countries are no longer
able to develop while yielding heavy environmental loading such as in the second half of 20th century, but are now requested
to develop with minimum environmental loading. This necessitates the creation of a sustainable growth model for the 21st
century. In establishing an Indian model, growth will be achieved based on a new sense of values, not on imitating or merely
adopting the technologies of other countries. To that end, joint development of advanced environmental technologies, suchas new materials and materials processing (which are strengths of Japanʼs academia and industry) is not only desirable but
essential for propelling the next generation of both countries. Given this viewpoint, bilateral collaboration can be accelerated
in many aspects of materials science, including innovation in research and development and in educational systems.
Established over the past 26 years, the researcher network between our two countries will play an important role in leading
global technological innovations in materials science and technology. I look forward to researchers in both our countries
starting to take specific action in creating a new stage for promoting collaboration in science and technology beyond the existed
priority areas.
