Welcome to the Forum for Indo German
Science Cooperation!
2008 was a very good year for the
scientific cooperation between India and Germany.
A few highlights were the visit of Indian S&T Minister Sibal to Germany
in June, the visit of German Minister for Education and Research Schavan
to India and the completion of the tour of the "Science Express", an
Indo-German exhibition on wheels with 2 million visitors.
Since April 2008, the Max Planck
Society has a representative in Delhi. Mr. Felix Kahle is also at the
same time Science Counsellor at the Embassy.
2009 has begun on an interesting note. Keeping up with its tradition,
two Science Circle lectures in the field of Climate Change and Social
Sciences have already been organised by the German Embassy. A delegation
from the German Rectors' Conference headed by its President and from the
Research Centre Juelich also visited India in February. With Max Planck
Society having donated most of the exhibits to Indian Department of
Science & Technology, the Science Express is travelling throughout India
again. In Germany, the success of the Science Express in India inspired
a similar science exhibition on a train organised by the Max Planck
Society in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Education and
Research.
As in the past, through our
Newsletter our team will keep you updated on the activities of the
Embassy and with news on Indo-German Science Cooperation. We value your
feedback and look forward to your suggestions.
Thank you for your continued
support.
