EU Delegation and EU’s Research and Innovation in India

Research and innovation form an essential cornerstone of the EU-India strategic partnership. In forty years, EU and India cooperation has matured from pure scientific collaboration to a meaningful research and innovation partnership. Engaging together in the fields of research, innovation and science offers many benefits and opportunities for both sides. Collaborations are underway to tackle global challenges like health, climate change, food security and clean energy supply among many others.

EU STI Platform in India

The “European Science, Technology and Innovation Platform in India” has been formed by a group of interested European public research organizations, funding agencies, and universities from France, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the UK as well as European and bilateral initiatives, which have a representation office in India.

The Platform was one of the components under the EU funded INDIGO Policy project (ended in early 2017).

Catalogues for researchers, students and universities/institutes:

Europe is a particularly attractive option with around 4,000 higher education institutions (HEIs) – many world-renowned and pioneers in education and research – and over 20 million students or one-fourth of the world in total. Among them, more than 1.5 million students every year come from outside of the EU, including 46,000 from India.

European Higher Education Virtual Fair - EHEVF 2016 eBook, which contains sections on studying in each European Union Member State and on specific higher educational institutes attending the Virtual Fair, is a useful resource for students and researchers considering Europe for further studies or research work, as well as for Indian HEIs looking for European partners for Erasmus+ or MSCA project proposals.

eBook AVAILABLE HERE

The European Higher Education Fair - EHEF India 2016 brought together over 100 exhibitors from 26 European Union Member States, with a total of 93 higher education institutions and 21 embassies and national agencies. The catalogue produced for the visitors can be useful for any student, researcher or higher education institutions interested in an experience in Europe or a collaboration with European HEIs.
