This project of 12 months duration will develop and extend research collaboration between Cambridge and Bangalore in the areas of materials for energy and sustainable manufacturing. Many of the challenges associated with this field must be addressed through research breakthroughs in materials performance, in the efficient use of materials and in efficient processing. Both Cambridge and Bangalore have broad strengths in the underpinning basic science, and both are working out how to provide appropriate coordination and organisation of research to bring early-stage science rapidly through to engineering and to translation to manufacturing. The global objective, therefore, of this project will be to develop together structures that allow the essential 'bottom up' basic science to be placed within an institution-wide context, and to enable new coordinated research between the two institutions.Five research projects will be built off some of the current one-on-one links between researchers in Cambridge and in Bangalore (the JNCASR and the IISc) in the general area of materials for energy and sustainable manufacturing. These include three where existing research relationships can be taken to new areas, and two where new relationships will be established. Connections between research projects will be explored. All projects will have significant exchange of researchers from UK to India and vice versa at various career levels. These interactions will be strengthened and broadened through the networking events and workshops in both countries. The five projects involve researchers at the Departments of Physics, Materials Science and Engineering in Cambridge, and cover the following topics: (a) Advanced Optoelectronics Materials Development, (b) Nanostructured Metal-Organic Frameworks, (c) Polythiophene-based Photovoltaics, (d) The optimisation of lightweight structural parts, based on mechanical tests in-situ inside a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and (e) Sustainable Materials Processing of Strategic Metals.

这个为期12个月的项目将发展和扩大剑桥和班加罗尔在能源和可持续制造材料领域的研究合作。与该领域相关的许多挑战必须通过在材料性能、材料的有效利用和有效加工方面的研究突破来解决。剑桥和班加罗尔在基础科学方面都拥有广泛的优势，并且都在研究如何提供适当的研究协调和组织，以将早期科学迅速转化为工程并转化为制造业。因此，本项目的全球目标是共同发展一些结构，使必要的“自下而上”的基础科学能够置于整个机构的范围内，并使两个机构之间能够进行新的协调研究。五个研究项目将建立在剑桥和班加罗尔研究人员之间现有的一对一联系的基础上（JNCASR和IISc）在能源和可持续制造材料的一般领域。其中包括三个现有的研究关系可以带到新的领域，两个将建立新的关系。将探讨研究项目之间的联系。所有项目都将有来自英国和印度的研究人员在不同职业水平上进行重大交流。这些互动将通过在这两个国家举办的联网活动和讲习班得到加强和扩大。这五个项目涉及剑桥物理、材料科学和工程系的研究人员，涵盖以下主题：（a）先进光电子材料开发，（B）纳米结构金属有机框架，（c）基于聚噻吩的光致发光材料，（d）基于扫描电子显微镜（SEM）内的现场机械测试，优化轻质结构部件，（e）战略金属的可持续材料加工。
