Euro India Research Centre is supported by Project India Mentor (045535) which is funded by the European Commission under the FP6 IST Programme

In 2005, the EIRC actuated a permanent platform for cooperation between European and Indian

researchers. The EIRC is supported by the National Contact Point (NCP) network of India, established by the Government of India in 2006. EIRC helps Indian

organisations access and benefit from EU funding for research in ICT.

The National Contact Point for the ICT Programme in India is the

Ministry of Information Technology. The NCP is supported by the IRSN network

of which EIRC actors are a part.

Through workshops conducted throughout the year in major Indian cities,

the EIRC informs the Indian research and

business community about opportunities for

collaborative R&D with Europe in the biggest

funding scheme of its kind – the EU’s Seventh

Framework Programme (EUFP7).

The EU-India Science and Technology Agreement signed in 2001 laid the foundation for overall S&T cooperation between India and the EU. The agreement was a recognition of benefits and the critical role of science and technology to their respective knowledge-based economies.

FRAMEWORK PROGRAMMES

are the main financial tools through which the European

Union supports Research and Development activities

across a number of disciplines. FPs have been

implemented since 1984 and cover a period of five years.

Participation in the Framework Programme is open to a range of organisations, universities, research centres, multinational corporations,

SMEs and public administrations, from all over the world.

The last Framework Programme (FP6) saw the participation of close to a hundred Indian research

institutions in more than 80 projects. The FP7 offers

even more opportunities for the participation of the

Indian research community.

In the past year, the EIRC assisted nearly 65

organisations on various aspects of proposal

preparation, consortium formation and proposal

submission.

The Euro-India Research Centre (EIRC) is the result of the combined

experience of 2 FP6 ICT projects (INCITE and the ongoing India Mentor)

and supports a permanent and fully-functional structure for EU-India

collaboration in the IT sector.



INCITE worked to facilitate R&D cooperation between

India and Europe in the ICT sector. The project spread awareness about access to

the IST funding programme of the European Commission and

supported the creation of a National Contact Point.

Building on the output of INCITE,

Project India Mentor takes the next steps:

• Enhancing participation of Indian organisations in the FP

ICT programme• Strengthening the NCP

network
