Abstract

The Council for Ayurveda Research (CAR) organized a three-day international event titled ‘Global Consortium for Collaborative Research in Ayurveda (GCCRA) from September 17 to 19, 2021. The Consortium event was preceded by a pre-conference Industry Round Table (IRT), on September 16, 2021. The IRT and GCCRA events hosted industry heads, Ayurveda and integrative scholars and subject matter experts from several countries. The event's main objective was to initiate, facilitate, and conduct classical and cutting-edge research in Ayurveda and identify current gaps in research and research methodologies. The idea was also to develop consensus on key research areas. It was decided to form a Council for Ayurveda Research-Industrial Conclave (CAR-IC) to foster and support research on the industry side, with regular periodic meetings to enable dialogs and exchange of information and thoughts. Similarly, a Council for Ayurveda Research-Global Consortium for Collaborative Research in Ayurveda (CAR-GCCRA) was incepted to lead the initiative for providing clear, contemporary, and futuristic directions to research in the practice side of Ayurveda.
