PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Partnership Development Activities

India has signed bilateral Science and Technology (S&T) Cooperation Agreements with several countries to encourage, develop and facilitate collaborative activities between the two countries in S&T in the fields of common interest and mutual benefit. Within the context of the S&T agreements with certain countries, funding mechanisms have been streamlined, through which universities / colleges, research organizations and industry may seek support for Partnership Development Activities.

Partnership Development Activities are designed to foster relationships and partnerships leading to the development of collaborative research and development projects and other forms of research collaboration between two countries.

For some of the countries, GITA, on behalf on DST, supports activities that involve exchange programs among scientists, technical experts and academia. These include, but are not limited to scientific seminars, workshops, symposia, conferences and activities. Counterpart agencies will implement the programme in the partnering country.
