Delegation of Responsibilities of International Relations Committee
Background:
The Indian Institute of Metals (IIM) International Relations Committee (IRC) has not been functioning since 2014. IIM HO, along with former Presidents, has been doing this job in recent years. We presently have ongoing relations with ASM International & The Korean Institute of Metals& Materials. IIM has made good progress with AIST (USA) and IOM3 (UK) in establishing collaborative agreements, which are likely to be finalised shortly.
Purpose:
In view of the upcoming year-long Platinum Jubilee Celebration in 2021, IIM would like to have more international professional bodies as our collaborators/partners to strengthen our programs, extend our presence beyond India and introduce new schemes for mutual growth.
Hence, it is felt that IIM has to jump start the functioning of the International Relations Committee (IRC) immediately to establish collaborations with well-known professional bodies. Also, the present size of the IRC may be reduced to make it nimble for quick decision-making.
Way-forward:
In light of the above, a three-member International Relations Committee (IRC), consisting of Dr D Banerjee (former President) as the Chairman, Dr S V Joshi (Life Member, IIM and presently based in Sweden) as a Member, and theSecretary General as the Member-Convener,is proposed. The committee will interact with Dr Amol A. Gokhale, President, IIM, as and when required.
All constituents of the present IRC are requested to agree to the above proposal as an interim arrangement, till the reconstitution is approved by the Council in the upcoming meeting.
Proposed Terms of reference(to be ratified by the Council):
1. Create and maintain a data base of International Materials Organisations
2. Determine and recommend to the council a suitable list of organisations with whom collaboration is desirable, and feasible.
3. With the Council’s approval, interact with these organisations to determine the terms of collaboration/interaction.
4. Recommend to the Council, terms of engagement for approval.
5. Follow up and action terms of interaction
