Heralding a new era in Indo-German Research and Technology partnership, the German Government, Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (Federal Ministry of Education and Research / BMBF) had embarked on a major Research and Technology initiative with India for the period 2008 / 2010. This programme for the Indo- German corridor is being implemented under the aegis of the larger Initiative - Research in Germany- Land of Ideas - and aims to intensify co-operation in strategically important areas and initiate joint projects between India and Germany. It is also looking at a bilateral exchange of the best international experts for joint R&D activities. Building new international networks of competence clusters and increasing the contract research of German research institutions on the global market are the other key objectives.
The Inaugural Event in September 2008 in New Delhi was launched by the Honorable Federal Minister for Education and Research, Govt. of the Federal Republic of Germany, Dr Annette Schavan and the Honorable Minister of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, Mr. Kapil Sibal in the presence of over 400 key people from the Indian and German ministries, research institutions and industry.
