| Did You Know |
| Calls for proposal |
| In the context of the Seventh Framework Programme, calls are launched at various intervals inviting proposals for research projects and other measures to implement the specific programmes. These measures, together with the deadlines for submitting proposals, are defined in the "call text" published in the official Journal of the European Union. |
| |
| Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research (COST) |
| Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research is one of the longest-running European instruments. It supports cooperation among scientists and researchers across Europe. COST is also the first and widest European intergovernmental network for coordination of nationally funded research activities. |
| |
| Intelligent Manufacturing Systems |
| It provides a framework for industry and academia to identify partners world-wide and to co-operate throughout the full innovation cycle. It offers broad-based technology trials and benchmarking, involving a world-wide R&D. It understands global markets through improved market intelligence. |
| |
| Networks of Excellence (NoE ) |
| The Networks of Excellence are intended to gather top research institutes to collaborate in one virtual centre of excellence. The network must have a joint program of activity which will facilitate the integration of the institutes. The NoE must also carry out actions supporting integration and dissemination of expertise. |
| |
| Indo Swiss Joint Research Programme |
| ISJRP was founded by the Swiss State Secretariat of Education and Research (SER) and the Indian Department of Science and Technology (DST) with the goal of furthering cooperation in strategic scientific and technological cooperation relevant to Switzerland and India. It enhances excellence in research capabilities by combining the resources of both countries. |
| |
| Indo-Hungarian co-operation in Science & Technology |
| S&T Co-operation is implemented through two agreements, between the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS), and between Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the National Office for Research and Technology Hungarian Ministry of Economy and Transport. |
| |
| Interlinking European GEANT with Indian ERNET |
| An-India-EU Project has been finalized on “Interlinking European GEANT (Advanced Multi-giga-bit communication network of 3500 pan European research and education institutions) with Indian ERNET (Nation-wide terrestrial and satellite based network of Indian research and education institutions) for an efficient, speedy and direct connectivity between European and Indian research community and as a test bed for catalyzing India-EU research collaboration. |
