To this end, the European Union has created a unique instrument – the ACCESS4EU International Cooperation Initiatives – which aims to increase European researchers' awareness of third countries' financing options for international research projects. The INDIA GATE team has been painting a holistic picture of Indian Science & for three years.
Agency for the Promotion of European Research
The main objective of the INDIA GATE initiative is to increase science and technology cooperation between India and the European Union (hereafter EU) by creating a 'one-stop shop' for funding opportunities available in India to European organizations. The India-EU Science and Technology Agreement recognizes the mutual benefit of access to relevant funding programmes.
In fact, there are several initiatives to support the participation of Indian organizations in the Seventh Framework Programme. INDIA GATE aims to play a similar role for European organizations wishing to benefit from RTR funding sources from India, thereby accelerating EU-India scientific cooperation through increased participation of European organizations in Indian funding programs and contributing to greater EU-India mutual understanding relevant research systems.
