In the current COVID-19 pandemic scenario, as physical workshops & networking are restricted, IGSTC launches a special call on bilateral Virtual Workshops. IGSTC will resume the physical workshops through Open Call Workshop programme as soon as the situation becomes normal.

The Indo-German Science & Technology Centre (IGSTC) invites proposals for organising Indo-German virtual workshops on areas of mutual interest with an aim towards creating platforms for substantive interactions between scientists / researchers from academia and industry. The workshops are to be designed around a specific research topic out of thematic areas relevant to both DST and BMBF. Any other relevant topics of very high importance may also be considered. Proposals with a potential for generating follow up activities including joint projects are preferred. Training workshops as well as meetings between two institutions do not fall under the scope of this call.
