The Manipal Advanced Research Group (MARG) at Manipal Academy of Higher Education has launched the Science, Technology and Security Forum (STSf) website, which is intended to provide a platform to the larger strategic, academic, diplomatic, and scientific community to participate in debates on matters impacting international security with a particular focus on India. The need for such a forum has its origin in the necessity to integrate scientists and technologists with the matrix of decision-making in matters of security policy and strategy. From the geopolitics of nuclear and space security to the latest developments in cyber security and sustainability governance, the STSf website takes a deep dive into several key aspects of international security, especially from an Indian perspective.
It is intended that STSf will present authoritative and expert analyses, opinions and assessments that could give direction and thrust to future policy. This may include recommendations for fast-tracking targeted growth in relevant emerging technologies. Developments in the rest of the world will be assessed and examined for their impact on India’s national security and foreign policy. As India is poised to play the keystone role on the world stage, the time has come to revisit and proactively assess its stated position on all matters impacting security from an objective India-centric viewpoint, keeping in mind the global security scenario. The Forum invites the participation of those aware and interested in global, regional and country-specific scientific, technological, security, and geopolitical issues.
