The Indo-German Science & Technology Centre (IGSTC) invites proposals for organising Indo-German workshops on areas of mutual interest. The Program is designed to facilitate substantive interactions that are designed to identify innovation pathways for common socio-economic priorities and technology gaps, with the potential to mature into full-scale "2+2" (Research + Industry) projects.
Proposals that highlight "Research for Innovation" (typically Technology Readiness Levels 3–6) and demonstrate a clear pathway from knowledge generation to application will be prioritized.
Proposals on frontier topics with innovation potential may also be considered.
Training workshops as well as meetings between two institutions do not fall under the scope of this call.
Applications submitted by 31st January should pertain to Workshops to be held during July-December of that year; applications submitted by 31st July should pertain to Workshops to be held during January -June of the following year.
Proposals have to be submitted through the online portal, as a single integrated document detailing the need for the event, mutual benefits, technical agenda, confirmed speakers, itemized budget, etc. Along with other sources which may support selected items.
A detailed draft program including a list of the expected participants has to be submitted along with a brief background document illustrating the importance of the workshop.
Involvement of young scientists is highly recommended. Brief CVs (300-500 words) for each participant to be should be included, along with their emails.
Proposals submitted throughout the year will be evaluated (cut-off dates 31st January and 31st July) by an Indo-German Committee considering:
