The German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) and the Department of Science of Technology (DST), Government of India, have recently announced their new open funding programme for Indo-German International Research Training Groups (IRTG).
(10.05.22) In the context of the recent Intergovernmental Consultations between India and Germany, the Indian Minister of Science Dr Jitendra Singh met with DFG President Prof Katja Becker. In the open and effective discussion in Berlin, the two policymakers discussed a wide range of topics, including the organization of the two science systems, science-driven funding of basic research, the relevance of diversity and equal opportunity in research as well as the importance of biomedical research.
(03.02.22) For many years, the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST) have provided joint project funding for Indian and German P.I.s collaborating in Indo-German research projects. Through many projects, the Indian and German communities have strengthened their ties. It is a mark of DST’s and DFG’s success that the two agencies have started to receive enquiries about funding opportunities for larger consortia with plans for complex projects of longer duration.
