Description |
Pasteur’s Quadrant [1] is an interesting construction which supposes that the pursuit of science has two simultaneous objectives: expansion of knowledge together with its applications for betterment of human life. This perspective removes the artificial compartmentalization between basic and applied sciences, and brings together the generation of knowledge and technology on the same footing. In this presentation we discuss our efforts at Chemistry Group, BARC to position ourselves in the Pasteur’s Quadrant, which have resulted into a good number of societal/industrial technologies/products in the spirit of ‘Lab to Land’.
