KHYBERSPACE GROUP is an informal discussion group between academia
and industry on Indian issues.
Khyberspace is a discussion
group which is a meeting place between academy and industry.
It is a modern real and virtual version of the old Khyber pass.
The purpose is two-fold. The first is for faculty in University to be able
to develop personal industrial ties. The second is for people from
Industry to gain a larger insight in the working and functioning
of a University. In our group we discuss matters of mutual interst
and to start with primarily Asian
issues and then in particular Indian ones concerning (continuing)education,
development of ideas and people, cultures, scenarios for the future, etc.
One of the main goals is to know ourselves and the way we perform through the eyes of other cultures by direct visits and discussions.
During November 10-23 Khyberspace made its first organized tour
to India (Mumbai, Poona, Bangalore, New Delhi, Indore and
Calcutta). We visited different universities, industries and government officials.
