Industry Academia Interface is now a very important and much needed concept. In most cases, a research remains confined in book shelves and libraries, with no or little commercial output. Hence there is a dire need to move research 'from the shelf' to 'the one who needs that research' and also to promote research that is need-based / tailored / guided.

This idea was conceived by a group of technocrats, educationalists, industrialists and law professionals: and Foundation for Promotion of Commercialization of Research (FPCR) was created to accomplish targeted commercialization of all types of the research already done / being done, globally.

BITSians Dr. B.P. Nagori and Dr. Rakesh Gupta, Co-founders, FPCR say that at www.fpcrglobal.org it is our endeavor to bring together Research Providers (Individual researcher / Research group / R&D Industry / R&D Center / R&D Organization) and Research Seekers (Employing organization / Organization willing to engage a Research Provider) on a common platform to match their needs.
