Industry-Academia Research & Development Programme (IARDP) of Indo-French Centre for
Promotion of Advanced Research (CEFIPRA) was launched in 2002 to support collaborative
research programme involving Industry & Academia of both the countries.
It has worked as an enabling platform for the industrial organizations in India & France to realize
their potential in terms of product and process development. It has facilitated innovation, risk
taking for Industries and also bringing the private industry, public institutions and the government
under one roof to promote the research and innovation between India & France.
The projects supported under the programme have resulted in prominent outcomes in the form of
some products which have already come to the market and some promising research leads seeing
a ray of hope for commercialization.
