Scientists do get their food for thought as also fresh ideas and the rare ammunition to re-write their research proposals towards fulfillment of their insatiable quest for improved, cost effective solutions. The Roundtable would provide an opportunity to the participants to discuss these issues through case studies, simulated exercises and exchange of information
