Concept note
Indo-German Dialogue: Universities as Enablers of Excellence in Entrepreneurship
The responsibility of boosting the innovational strength of a country and meet new societal challenges lies equally on the academia as much as industries. Some of the universities and academic institutes in India and Germany have taken this responsibility since decades and have developed themselves as best practice examples of entrepreneurial institutes.
At this Indo-German Dialogue, two such best practices, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, India will shed light on how universities in Germany and India can create a supportive environment for innovation and a culture driven by powering ideas. The Technical University of Munich (TUM) has been fostering a supportive environment for innovation with a market-oriented holistic approach for 150 years, and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi with its Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT) aims to be an effective interface with the industry to foster, promote and sustain commercialization of science and technology in the institute for mutual benefits.
Speakers
Prof. Dr. Juliane Winkelmann
The research of Juliane Winkelmann focuses on the genetic architecture and underlying molecular mechanisms of complex genetic neurological disorders with a special focus on movement and sleep disorders. Winkelmann and her team have made primary discoveries of genetic variants for common neurological disorders including Restless Leg Syndrome and Dystonia. Her research at the Institute of Neurogenomics (ING) is laying the groundwork for personalized medicine. Through an understanding of genetic predisposition to disease her aim is to be able to prevent disease in individuals and provide superior diagnostic information, paving the way for therapies tailored to the individual patient.
Winkelmann studied medicine at Semmelweis University in Budapest, Hungary, and at LMU Munich. Her doctoral research was conducted at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry.
